A confirmed customer commitment: what to ship and invoice, tracked line by line.
A sales order is a confirmed commitment to deliver items to a customer. It can be created directly or from a . , , and make-to-order jobs reference its lines.Each line tracks ordered, shipped, and invoiced quantities independently. It remains open until shipping and invoicing are complete, allowing partial fulfillment and billing.
A line carries a type that sets what it sells: Part, Service, Material, Tool, or Consumable for the five item kinds, plus Fixed Asset and Comment (a non-charged note line).
