The invoice is composed of many databases
relationally connected together.  The INVOICE
DATABASE reminds you to assign a customer to each
invoice.  An invoice number and date are also
required.  A look-up is provided to the CUSTOMER
DATABASE.  Select the customer and the bill to and
ship to field will fill automatically, but can be
edited.  If the bill to and ship to fields are edited
the changes are not reflected back to the CUSTOMER
DATABASE.  On the menu bar, you can select CLIENT to
go to the CLIENT DATABASE.  This is done to insure
changes made to the CLIENT DATABASE are obvious and
desired.

A separate area called a REGION is on the invoice
form.  Go to that region to select from your
PARTS INVENTORY DATABASE the parts you want on this
invoice.  You never have to guess at what the part
number is you want on the invoice.  A pop-up window
appears with the part description, part number,
client unit cost, total cost for the quantity
ordered, and the amount in stock.

The parts on the INVOICE are automatically posted
against (subtracted from) the PARTS INVENTORY.  You
are able to maintain an accurate PARTS INVENTORY
records if you always create an INVOICE each time a
part is sold or removed from stock.

You can Mark an invoice for deletion then Pack it to
remove the invoice and all of its parts from the
Invoice database.
