When a customer comes into the tasting room to pickup their wine club shipment and they have an open will call (pickup) order on file, the open order needs to be marked as picked up so that the perpetual inventory in AMS is updated. This also flips the sale from deferred to recognized revenue in the general ledger.

To find the customer and any open orders they may have first select the Bill to Customer button.
