Sales orders & job management
Know what the job is making while it's still running.

Convert the quote and the job gets a cost centre. Every purchase order, works order, delivery and invoice hangs off it — and the margin moves as the real costs land.

One record. Four things you'd otherwise chase.

The sales order isn't a document you file. It's where the job lives while it's being made.

Live job costing

Estimated, planned and actual side by side. The margin updates as costs are booked in real time.

Every document

Quote, purchase orders, works orders, delivery notes and invoices automatically created and attached.

Progress by line

Ordered, complete and delivered on every line, so part-finished jobs aren't guesswork.

The commercial position

Easily view the WIP, outstanding, delivered with the customer's credit limit checked before you commit.

Find out during the job, not after it.

Most firms find out what a job made once the invoices are in. These three numbers are live.

The margin is a live number

You quoted 34.7%. The plan came in at 38.4%. What's actually been booked says 31.2% — and you know that now, not at month end.

Bill the part that's done

Deliver and invoice in stages against the same order. Long jobs stop tying up cash until the final sign-off.

The customer's limit and what they're already carrying sit on the order itself. No separate check, no surprise at invoice.

What each costing type looks like

Three rows, one question: is this still the job you quoted?

Estimated comes from the quote. Planned is what's actually been scheduled and ordered. Actual is what's been booked against it so far. They sit on top of each other, so the drift is impossible to miss.

  • Purchase, works order, inventory and budget costs, each tracked separately
  • Profit, margin, production time and profit per hour on every row
  • Works order costs post back here automatically as time is booked

Everything raised against the job, counted.

The order carries its own paperwork. Each badge shows how many exist and how many are complete, so a glance tells you what's outstanding without opening anything.

  • Quotes, purchase orders, works orders, delivery notes, invoices and NCRs
  • Counts read complete over total — five of six works orders done
  • Attachments, drawings and notes sit on the order or the operation

Ordered, complete, delivered — per line.

Each line tracks its own three numbers, so a part-shipped order isn't a conversation. Project work is tracked as a percentage instead of a part count, which is what makes staged delivery and invoicing possible.

  • Delivery notes offer only what's actually available to send
  • Invoice the delivered portion, not the whole order
  • Dates required and promised held separately, so you know which one slipped

What's billed, what's owed, what's still on the floor.

Net, VAT and total sit alongside work in progress, outstanding value and what's already been delivered. The customer's credit limit and current exposure are on the same screen.

  • WIP value separated from outstanding and delivered
  • Customer limit and available credit shown on the order
  • Expenses screen itemises every cost booked against the job

Costs find their own way here.

Nobody updates the sales order. The shop floor books time, purchasing receives a delivery, stock is issued — and the job's figures move on their own.

W.O.

Time booked on the floor

Operators clock on and off against the works order. Labour cost and production time post straight to the job.

P.O.

Materials received

A purchase order line linked to the order carries its cost across when it lands.

Stock

Inventory issued

Items taken from stock for the job are costed against it at the value they were held at.

The quote becomes this. Everything else hangs off it.

The sales order is the second step and the one the rest of the chain reports back to.

Answers to common questions

Can I raise a sales order without a quote?

Yes. Converting a quote carries the costing across, but an order can be created directly where the work was agreed another way.

Can I deliver and invoice part of an order?

Yes. Delivery notes offer only the quantity actually available, and the invoice covers the delivered portion. Project work is tracked as a percentage, so a phase can be billed at 50% complete.

Does the actual cost update on its own?

Yes. Time booked on works orders, purchase order receipts and stock issued against the job all post back to the order's costing without anyone re-entering them.

What happens to the original estimate as costs change?

Nothing. The estimated row stays as quoted — that's what makes the comparison worth having, on this job and the next one like it.

Can several sales orders belong to one project?

Yes. Share a project reference and the sales order dashboard, purchase order dashboard and schedule can all be filtered to show everything connected to it.

We've found the Statii system to very adaptable to our requirements & it has massively improved our business controls from the multiple excel spreadsheets & manual methods that we used previously. I would definitely recommend Statii to any business that is looking to implement an MRP system.

The biggest thing for me is the time that Statii now saves us, which means we can give enough time to focus on real issues that will allow us to grow our business to a level we have aspired towards for far too long, but literally never had the time. Having Statii means also I can see from any PC whats going on in the business, at anytime, again something not possible before.
