An end-to-end sales engine on top of Sage 50 — quote to despatch, with back-to-back purchasing, configurable workflows, pricing rules and commission, all posting into Sage 50.
Sage 50 has sales order processing and it has purchase order processing, and they are separate. That is fine if you sell from stock you already hold. It is a daily irritation if a large part of what you sell is bought in specifically for the order — because the two halves of the same transaction live in two places and it is a person's job to keep them aligned.
The usual workarounds are a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, or somebody who has been there long enough to hold it in their head. All three work until they do not.
PS50SOP is our answer. It turns Sage 50 into an end-to-end sales engine: a single front end over SOP and POP that treats the sale and the purchase behind it as one piece of work, with every step from initial quote to despatch driven by workflows you configure.
It also gives you the thing spreadsheets never do — real-time visibility of stock, supplier costs, margins and commission liabilities, so profitability is visible at the point the decision is made rather than at the end of the month.
Sell from stock you hold.
Buy in back-to-back against the specific sale, taking supplier quotes first.
Or a mixture of the two on the same order, which is what most real orders look like.
Every step of the customer journey, from initial quote through to despatch, driven by configurable workflows that you control.
Raise the sales order and the purchase orders needed to satisfy it in one pass, with the link between them held by the system rather than remembered by a person.
Create customer and supplier quotes side by side, compare costs, and convert to orders in one click — so you know your margin before you commit to a price.
Fulfil from stock you hold, buy in specifically against the sale, or mix the two on the same order. The system does not force the trade into one shape.
Approval gates, notifications and audit trails that enforce process governance, so the same steps happen the same way whoever is at the keyboard.
Multi-tier price matrices, volume breaks and customer-specific discount rules, applied consistently instead of being remembered case by case.
Define salesman commission tables by product, region or target, and see the commission liability as it accrues rather than reconstructing it later.
Goods receipts, despatch notes and return authorisations linked back to Sage 50, so the physical movement and the accounting stay together.
Sales orders, purchase orders, invoices, stock received and despatched all post into Sage 50. One set of books, and it is the one your accountant already knows.
Order and invoice documentation generated automatically as PDFs, saved to the network or into an existing document imaging system.
Sian Trading drive their sales order process through Sage 50 and needed better productivity and a consistent approach across the team. Our front end imports order details from their master spreadsheet and creates both the sales order and the purchase orders required to fulfil the trade, with all documentation produced automatically as PDFs. Because Sage 50 holds the data, a change in either system shows in both.
TDE moved off an obsolete Sage Line 100 platform onto Sage 50 with a new SOP, POP and job processing system. Our application creates sales quotes, invoices and purchase orders, updates Sage 50 with invoices, purchase orders and stock movements, and manages the sales job workflow from quote through to final invoice. Documentation is generated as PDFs into their document imaging system.
An order you buy in specifically to fulfil a particular sale, rather than supplying it from stock you already hold. In Sage 50 the sales order and the purchase order are separate processes, so linking the two and keeping them in step is normally manual work.
No. It is a front end. Sales orders, purchase orders, invoices, stock movements and the accounting all live in Sage 50 exactly as they would otherwise, so Sage 50 remains the system of record and your accountant sees a normal Sage 50 company.
Yes. You can sell from stock, buy in specifically against the sale, or do both on the same order. Mixed orders are the usual case in practice, which is precisely why doing it by hand across two separate Sage processes is painful.
Yes, obtaining supplier quotes is part of the flow before the purchase side is committed, so the margin on the sale is known before you promise it.
Most likely. PS50SOP supports multi-tier price matrices, volume breaks and customer-specific discount rules, so pricing that currently lives in somebody's head or in a spreadsheet can be defined once and applied consistently.
Yes. Commission tables can be defined by product, region or target, and the liability is visible as it accrues rather than being reconstructed at period end.
Yes. Goods receipts, despatch notes and return authorisations link back to Sage 50, so the physical movement and the accounting stay together.
