Historical orders allow past inventory order totals to be added without affecting current on‑hand quantities. This method is useful when inventory counts are already accurate but past orders still need to appear in reports such as Product Purchases. Historical orders are created using totals from packing slips or order history and saved individually until all missing orders are recorded.
From the main toolbar, select 
Orders (or from the Product menu, select Inventory Order).
- To add totals for orders placed in the past, from the Inventory Orders toolbar, click
New, then select Historical. - Using the packing slips that came with your orders or the information from the company website, enter the applicable amounts, then, when finished, click OK to save and close.
- Repeat the previous steps until all past orders have been entered.
When finished, if you need to correct the On Hand amounts for your current inventory, see Print Inventory & Make Adjustments.
