  • If you are a distributor who brokers some products, this can be a feature which can be turned on in our ENTERPRISE version which allows the user at order entry time to indicate that this particular order is a "brokered" order.  In that situation, we will order product directly from one of our suppliers and it will be shipped directly to the customer - and your receivable will be the commission on this sale.
