Sales order overview

A sales order is a document that a company issues to register a customer's order for goods or services.

A sales order is used in the following process:

Process	Document purpose
Quote-to-cash	Record a customer's order for goods or services.
Consignment sale process for consignee	Record a customer's order for consigned goods.
Procure-to-pay	Initiate procurement of goods ordered by a customer.
Production	Initiate production of goods ordered by a customer.
Assembly	Initiate assembly of goods ordered by a customer.
Disassembly	Initiate disassembly of goods ordered by a customer.
Subcontracting services received	Initiate subcontracted production of goods ordered by a customer.

In the sales order, you specify a customer, the goods or services the customer ordered, their price, and the agreed shipment date. If required, use the sales order to reserve goods for the customer and ensure they are available on the agreed shipment date. You can also specify the agreed payment terms and delivery terms.

While processing a sale, you can use a sales order as a base document for other documents such as goods issues and sales invoices.
