Design Manager is a flexible project management and accounting package. Although it can be used in many different ways, there is a basic "flow" of work through the system. This flow can be considered a basic model for an average Interior Design Business. At its simplest, the order (or work flow) through the software is as follows:
| 1. | Enter the specifications (Items that you need to order for and sell to your client). |
| 2. | Create a proposal or estimate to give to your client. |
| 3. | Get the approval from your client and collect a deposit so you can begin ordering the merchandise. |
| 4. | Create purchase and work orders and the deposit checks to send with them. |
| 5. | Receive acknowledgments of the orders from your vendors. |
| 6. | Receive the merchandise and/or deliver it to the client. |
| 7. | Receive the invoice or bill from your vendor. |
| 8. | Give a final invoice to your client (remembering to apply the deposit from #3). |
| 9. | Print checks to pay your vendors. |
| 10. | Receive the final payment from your client. |
