Overview

Sale runs allow you to reproduce sale shipments/invoices for customers on a regular basis. This is ideally suited to fixed non-stock charges like service fees, monthly backup fees etc.The process creates sale shipments not sale orders, so it does not suit cases where stock needs to be back-ordered regularly. 
A Sales run can be modified at any time as long as it is before it runs.
If you should add more products to an existing sale run, you will need to re-extract the same sale run set in order for the additional products to be added to the customers.

Sales Runs can be created in one of 3 ways: 

Once OFF - Sale Run Type Procedure

System Reference
