Sales orders are records created when a customer commits to a purchase. They outline product details, quantities, prices, and delivery timelines, helping teams track and manage fulfillment. Sales orders streamline the transition from sales to delivery, ensuring accuracy, efficient processing, and clear communication with customers.
