Order Form

Was wondering how other keep track of orders/inquiries and correspondence about orders as they are being built?

I thought I'd start by creating a form with:

-Customer name and address
-date called
-knife style
-Specs.
-handle materials
-blade materials
-Cost quote
-work hours involved
-material costs

Thats my start, anything else I'm missing?
Jon

Looks good, Jon. I also have the date promised, any embellishment info, and a table for checking off HT steps (austenize, temper, cryo, temper, temper, and finished RC hardness).

Thanks Don,
Never thought of putting the heat treatment on there, kind of a check off to keep track of it and for future reference, good idea.
Thanks again,
Jon

per don's suggestion - keeping everything in one place makes it that much easier to fill out the certificate. besides, i can't keep everything in my head anymore.
.
and jon - congrats on the journeyman test
