How to: Post Sales Orders
When you ship an item, you must post the order for it. The procedure is the same for orders that are converted from quotes and for orders that are created directly.
Note
This procedure applies to companies with no formalized warehouse handling. If warehouse handling is required at the location, then the sales order is automatically posted when the related inventory pick or warehouse shipment is posted. For more information, see Inventory Pick and Warehouse Shipment.
