Sections

The Section screen is used to create and maintain sections that organize line items in an order.
Using this screen, you can define the Section ID, add a description, include section total, and predefine descriptive, blank, or subtotal lines that will appear whenever this section is added to an order.

This helps create structured and reusable order sections, making order entry faster, clearer, and more consistent.
