Learn About DocSales Document Status

In DocSales, sales documents go through several status. Each of these status has a set of actions that can be performed.

POSSIBLE STATUS FOR A SALES DOCUMENT:

Preparation: When a Sales Document is being prepared by the sales rep / manager to be sent.

Sent: When the Sales Document has already been sent to the customer.

Read: Shows when the customer read the Sales Document. Track how long your customer stayed with the document open, who read the document and if he/she sent it to someone else.

Signed: When the customer signs the Sales Document.

Rejected: When the customer has rejected the Sales Document.

POSSIBLE ACTIONS

All these actions are found on the Actions menu:

Edit: You can open the Sales Document to edit before sending. In the case of a rejected document, you can edit it and send it again if the customer rejected it due to an error.

View PDF: View the document on a PDF file and see how it looks.

Delete: Delete the document from the system (irreversible action).

Cancel: After sending the document to the customer, if the sales rep decides to make any changes, it is necessary to cancel it and the customer receives a cancellation email.

Send: send the document to the customer.

Copy: ​​Duplicate the sales document with all customer data, products and services and other information. It is used when you want to send an identical document to another customer. With this feature, you don’t need to type everything again, the system will copy the same data and you just need to make the changes that you desire.
