The section contains the list of your company’s orders. The procedure for working with the [Orders] section differs for short and long sales.
Short sales are most commonly used in areas such as online shopping, where an operator simply registers an order and issues an invoice.
In a long sale, an order consolidates all agreements reached at all opportunity stages, since the purchased products and delivery arrangements may change multiple times during the negotiations. For example, your customer is a large company. Initial negotiations were about purchasing specific list of products. In the process of negotiations, the client changed the product list. An agreement about the prices and terms of delivery on the updated list of products was reached. In this case, the order can be created from the opportunity page. You can create multiple orders for a single opportunity. Each order contains a list of products and an installment plan.
Note
