Customer Order Forms (OP10) in WinFDS

The Customer Order Form is another way to help service your customers and at the same time help your Order Processing staff be more efficient. The Customer Order Form - OP10 provides your customers a shopping list of what they normally purchase from you. This document can be printed, faxed or emailed from WinFDS.

As products are purchased by your Customers, WinFDS keeps a history of the various products, how much they purchased, the prices, purchase date, etc. This information is used in many reports and inquiries throughout WinFDS.
