The company's policies on how to process sales are usually defined during the initial implementation of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Although this setup work is typically a one-time task executed with the RapidStart Services, it may be relevant to adjust the setup values as company activities expand or change.
The Sales & Receivables Setup window holds the most central setup values, such as which sales documents are required in sales processing, how their values are posted, and which document number series is used. You will use other setup windows to establish supporting sales features, such as order promising and item charge management.
The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them. These tasks are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
