Sales order overview

<< Prev   Next >>

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.

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 sales documents such as goods issues and sales invoices.

Inventory demand	It is useful for analyzing sales orders with products that a company produces as a subcontractor using materials provided by a customer.  Shows the materials to be provided by a customer, already provided by the customer, allocated to production orders, and reserved for production.  This report is applicable if you use the old version of the subcontracting feature (the Engage subcontractors checkbox is available and selected in Settings > Production, under Subcontracting).
