A Sales order is a document created by the seller to define the product specifications and services ordered by the customer. It confirms and records the sale of goods and/or services ordered for the company. The process of booking a quotation and converting it into a contract is the same for all the categories of quotations. These categories of quotations include Sales, Rental, Unit, and MPS.
