Overview of Sales Orders

You can enter, view, and update sales orders using the Sales Orders window. You can order standard items, both shippable and non-shippable, and configurations using this window. You can also adjust pricing, assign sales credits, record payment information, attach notes, schedule shipments, enter model options, query material availability, and make material reservations, including selection of item revisions, subinventories, or lots.

You can enter information in the Sales Orders window as you receive it. Oracle Order Entry/Shipping validates individual fields as they are entered. When you book an order, Order Entry/Shipping validates it to ensure that all required fields have values, that configurations are complete, and so on. After an order has been booked, it becomes eligible for the next step in its order cycle.

For orders that you intend to source externally (drop shipments), you can use all aspects of standard sales order functionality. The source type you specify at order entry determines whether an order will be fulfilled from inventory or by an external supplier.

For country-specific information, such as documentation for the Brazilian Additional Information descriptive flexfield, please see the appropriate country-specific user's guide.
