The Sales Queue shows products, as they move from sales to production to completion, as well as the collection of payment. Products, are shown in different queues based on their status and are updated manually as the product advances through the workflow. In the Sales Queue, orders are listed on a product-by-product basis except for the Past Due and On Account Queues, which are listed by entire order. These queues are organized by Invoice numbers so that salesperson can view and email invoices without leaving the queues.
