Sales Order Lifecycle
The sales order process involves the receipt and management of customer orders. This process starts when a customer places an order and ends with the successful delivery of goods or services. In an ERP system, sales orders are tracked from creation through to fulfillment, providing visibility over each stage of the process.
Steps in the Sales Order Lifecycle:
Order Creation: Sales orders are generated either through manual entry or an automated system like eCommerce.
Order Validation: The system checks that sufficient stock is available, prices are correct, and any discounts or promotions are applied.
Order Confirmation: Once validated, the sales order is confirmed and passed to fulfillment.
