Sales Order: Searching Orders
What is a Sales Order?
A Sales Order, also known as a Shipment, indicates the outbound dispatch of goods from the warehouse. Typically, this reflects a customer order for your business. In instances where multiple orders are destined for the same address simultaneously, they may be consolidated into a single order. These will be identified in the product section by different Sales Order Numbers. Additional information on this topic can be found in the Add/Remove Products from a Sales Order article.
