Sales Order
The Sales Order confirms your sales and triggers purchase (Material Request) shipment (Delivery Note), billing (Sales Invoice) and manufacturing (Production Plan)
A Sales Order is usually a binding Contract with your Customer.
Once your customer confirms the Quotation you can convert your Quotation into a Sales Order.

Creating Sales Order from Quotation
You can also create a Sales Order from a submitted Quotation.
Or you can create a new Sales Order and pull details from an Quotation.
Most of the information in your Sales Order is the same as the Quotation. There are a few amongst other things that a Sales Order will ask you to update.
- Expected date of delivery.
- Customer Purchase Order number: If your customer has sent you a Purchase Order, you can update its number for future reference (in billing).
Packing List
The “Packing List” table will be automatically updated when you “Save” the Sales Order. If any Items in your table are Product Bundle (packets), then the “Packing List” will contain the exploded (detailed) list of your Items.
Reservation and Warehouses
If your Sales Order contains Items for which inventory is tracked (Is Stock Item is “Yes”) then, ERPNext will ask you for “Reservation Warehouse”. If you have set a default Warehouse for the Item, it will automatically set this Warehouse here.
This “reserved” quantity will help you project what is the quantity you need to purchase based on all your commitments.
