Custom-made work on a sales order

A customer asks for something you do not make: a wedding set, a gift box, a one-off colour. You can now add it as a custom-made line right on a sales order. Describe what goes into it (materials and ready items), and it is costed and taken out of stock when you post the order, without creating a product card you will never use again.

The separate "custom order" button is gone: it is now simply a line type on New order.

Prototyping

Before something is a product it is an idea, and finding out whether it works costs real wax. Prototyping is where those ideas live: a recipe without the commercial half (no packaging, no channel prices), the samples you actually poured, and what every attempt cost.

When an idea works you promote it to a product card; when it does not, you reject it and the cost is still on record.
