e-Sales Interface

The eSales system enables salespeople to create orders on a handheld device and transfer these orders via several different methods to PointForce Enterprise (PFE) for automatic processing.

• Prior to setting up eSales, you must ensure that the e-Sales Interface folder in Company Control Initialization (CC00) is completed. For details on CC00/e-Sales Interface, click here.
