Distributors have a wide variety of requirements, depending on their products, organization, customers, and philosophy. Prelude is configurable to meet virtually any set of requirements.

A sales order can start as a Quick Quote or a Quotation. It can be tied to Vendor Requests for Quotation. When the Sales Quotation is converted to a Sales Order, vendor RFQ's can be converted to purchase orders.

Sales orders line items can include kits, multilevel kits, work orders, multi-level work orders, repair orders, and rental order line items, among others. Sales orders may be regular, ship complete, ship line item complete, direct, salesperson samples, or consignment, among others.
