A terminal market is an area where companies gather to sell items (typically agricultural products) to the public. Sales activity in a terminal market revolves around a company's current inventory. Customers visiting a terminal market on a particular day are only interested in the items that are on hand and available for sale.
Companies that do business in terminal markets can set up terminal market sales orders to process sales activities. Unlike standard sales order documents in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, terminal market orders do not let you add sales lines for items if no on-hand quantity exists. Enhanced search functionality provides visibility to available inventory.
The following table describes a sequence of activities, with links to the topics that describe them. These activities are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
