The Sales Manager is the single list that shows every sales document you’ve ever created — quotes, sales orders, invoices, and credit memos — all in one grid, all filterable, all one click from editing or reprinting.

How to get there #

What a “sales document” is in Bizuno #
Under the hood, Bizuno uses PhreeBooks journal IDs to distinguish document types. You’ll see four on this screen:
- Sales Quote (blue) — an estimate. No money changes hands and nothing is committed against inventory.
- Sales Order (orange) — the customer has agreed. Inventory is soft-committed but nothing is shipped or billed yet.
- Sales / Invoice (green) — a posted sale. The GL is updated, inventory is relieved, and A/R is booked.
- Credit Memo (pink) — money back to the customer, typically tied to a return.
Status colors #
- Green — Confirmed (order accepted, invoice posted, payment received, etc.).
- Yellow — Unshipped / pending.
Filtering the grid #
Across the top of the grid:
- Period — the fiscal period to show. Defaults to the current open period.
- Sales Rep — narrow to one rep.
- Journal Name — show only Quotes, only Orders, only Sales, etc.
- Status — Confirmed vs. Unshipped.
- Search box — hits invoice number, PO number, customer name, and item SKU.
What the columns mean #
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Journal | Quote / Order / Sales / Credit Memo — color-coded. |
| Doc # | The document number. Quotes start with Q, orders with SO, invoices are numeric. |
| Post Date | For quotes/orders, the creation date. For invoices, the posting date. |
| Customer | Short Name and a link to the customer record. |
| Amount | Grand total including tax and freight. |
| Status | Confirmed or Unshipped, color-coded. |
| Actions | Edit / View / Print / Email / Copy-to-next-stage. |
The sales document lifecycle #
Bizuno is built around a simple flow:
Quote → Order → Invoice (→ Cash Receipt)
Each stage copies from the previous one — you don’t re-key the line items. A common path for Ridgeline Cycles:
- A customer asks for a custom build. You enter a Sales Quote.
- They approve. You click Copy to Sales Order from the quote’s action menu.
- The bike is built and ready. You click Copy to Invoice from the order and post it.
- They pay at pickup. You enter the payment in Banking → Cash Receipt and it clears the invoice.
Creating a new sales document #
Click the + in the top bar and pick Sales Invoice (or whatever type you need). The editor opens with a four-section layout.
Header #
- Customer — type to search, or pick from the dropdown. The billing address, terms, tax rate, and rep all pull in automatically.
- Document # — auto-assigned. You can override it if your numbering needs it.
- Post Date — defaults to today. The transaction will land in whatever fiscal period contains this date.
- Terms — inherits from the customer; override per-document if needed.
- PO # — the customer’s purchase order number, if they provided one.
Line items #
One row per SKU. For each line:
- SKU — type to search inventory.
- Description — editable per line.
- Qty — quantity.
- Price — pulls from the customer’s price sheet if one is assigned, otherwise the item’s default list price.
- Discount % — per-line discount.
- Tax — inherits from the customer’s tax rate.
Important: If a line item shows a red tag, you’re selling more than you have on hand. Bizuno won’t stop you — it just warns — but a negative inventory will show up on your stock report until you receive more.
Totals panel (right side) #
Shows subtotal, freight, tax, discount, total, and payment/balance due. The figures recalculate live as you add lines.
Notes and terms #
Internal notes (not printed) and customer-facing notes (printed on the document). Great place to put assembly details, next-service reminders, or warranty text.
Saving the document #
- Save as Draft — keeps editing open. Quotes and orders can be saved without posting.
- Post — commits the invoice to the GL, relieves inventory, and makes it visible on the customer’s statement.
- Print — generates the PDF using the template set under Admin → Settings → Phreeform Templates.
- Email — sends the PDF to the customer’s Sales or A-R email address (see the Customer Manager’s Contacts tab).
Printing and emailing #
From the grid row’s action menu you can reprint or re-email any past document without opening it. Bizuno remembers the last template used per document type, so a reprint matches the original.
Tips #
- Don’t delete posted invoices — void them instead (open the invoice, Action menu → Void). Voiding preserves the GL trail.
- Use Copy on a past invoice to clone recurring orders — a shop account that buys the same tune-up kit every month is one click.
- The Period filter is useful for month-end: set it to last month to see everything you posted into that period.
Where to go next #
- Order Fulfillment — working through the pick/pack/ship queue.
- Customer Returns — issuing credit memos.
- Cash Receipt (Banking) — recording the payment.
