How do I create a sale or quote?

Creating a sale consists of listing the products that you plan to sell.

You can associate a customer, a date, and thus make sales forecasts before sending the corresponding quotes or producing the tasks concerned.

A newly created sale therefore has the status of "created" and can be edited as long as it is not sent.

There are several methods to create sales, depending on how the establishment works:

• Create sales from production
• Create sales from a template
  Or as shown here:
• Create ex nihilo sales, in other words create an empty sale then add products
  

Set up product sales information

To be listed for sale, a product must have sales information.

To do this, go to the "sales information" section of the item's page, then add a sale price .

Create a sale and add products

Sales are accessible in the Sales tab of the main menu

The drop-down title in the header displays the Sales View by default.

To create a new sale:

• Click on the floating button Create a sale or an estimate at the bottom left
  In the creation mode:

Add Comment to Sales

On melba, it is possible to add a comment to each sale. This feature is useful for anchoring specific information and logging it. For example, in the context of the use of melba by multiple people within an establishment, the comments make it possible to transmit information relating to the sale.
