# Sales Orders

> Confirmed customer orders, ready to invoice

A sales order records a customer's order before it is invoiced. It is in the **Sales orders** menu (available if the module is active for the company).

## Statuses

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Pending** | Just created. It can still be edited. |
| **Confirmed** | Order confirmed, ready to invoice. |
| **Partially invoiced** | Part of the order has been invoiced. |
| **Invoiced** | The order has been invoiced. |
| **Cancelled** | The order was voided. |

## List

The screen shows each order's number, customer, salesperson, date, total and status. You can search by **number or customer** and filter by **status**.

## Create an order

**1. Go to Sales orders → New order**

**2. Choose the customer**

Required. If they do not exist, you can create them from the same form with **New customer**. A VAT-exempt customer does not pay the percentage tax, as in quotations.

**3. Choose the salesperson (optional) and the order date**

The date is required.

**4. Add products**

Search by name or SKU (minimum 3 letters) or create one with **New product**. On each line adjust quantity, price and discount (%). At least one product is required.

**5. Review the totals and save with Save order**

The taxes you see are an estimate: the system calculates the final ones when saving.

## Actions on an order

* **View**: opens the detail with the order information (expected delivery, notes) and its products.
* **Edit**: only available while the order is **Pending**.
* **Confirm**: moves a Pending order to Confirmed.
* **Invoice**: available on Confirmed orders; marks the order as invoiced.
* **Cancel**: available until the order is invoiced; asks for confirmation.
