The furthermost left icon is for creating work orders (WIPS) and Estimates.

A customer can have more than one vehicle and a different address for shipping.  Customers can be made taxable or non taxable. When you are making Estimates or Work Orders and adding a new customer it can be done from that screen, there is no reason to leave the Estimate screen and use this option to add customers.

The leftmost icon is the icon to browse your cash file.  It is used to transfer the days cash amounts to the monthly file and zero them for the next day. There are two reports for end of day, the summary report and the detailed report. The summary report gives you a one page summary of the days transactions and the detailed prints the detail of every transaction plus a summary sheet. Pick the report you like best and run that report before you click on End of Day. This should be run at the end of every day. There are several reports that won't print anything if you don't do an End of Day.

 

The right icon is to run the optional Point of Sale Module. This allows you to sell inventory to a customer quickly.
