Furniture Order Entry

Third party packages known as specification or specifier software simplify the process of developing specifications for furniture orders. You can easily import the resulting quotes or orders directly into the Furniture application through a SIF file. After you do, you can use this feature to change information for the items on the order. The system re-opens the specifier program so you can make any necessary changes. After you finish, items are automatically imported back to the order, including the changes you made.
