Sales Order
A sales order is a binding sales document used in SAP Business One to record the agreement with a business partner on products, quantities, prices and dates in the system. It provides the basis for further processing, because deliveries and invoices can be created from it and open quantities can be tracked through the document flow. Unlike a quotation, a sales order is only used once the customer has actually placed the order and execution is to be planned. This allows sales, warehouse and order processing teams to see immediately in day-to-day work what has been agreed, which items are still open and which next steps follow from the order.
