Order Confirmations

Order Confirmation is a document created from a sales order. It is created in the case, when a customer asks for Order confirmation himself, a customer tells his order e.g. verbally. If an Order confirmation is confirmed, the Purchase contract is created. There have to be the binding prices, date of delivery etc. in the confirmed Order confirmations. The Order confirmations have no impact on the accounting and their registration is not necessary. In the case of the direct sale, the registration is unnecessary if the Sales order is also understood as the order.

Order confirmations book

The Order confirmations registration is important in that case when it deals with the larger sales order that is delivered in parts. The customer must issue particular orders for those parts of the total sales order. Then the delivery can be included to the only sales order and further you register the incoming Orders in parts.

In the Orders confirmation book it is whenever possible to find out which articles the customer really ordered. This is very important for example in the case when the customer backed out of the contract. In the order there is registered the date of the order issuing and the order number from the customer. In the case of litigation the appropriate order can be found very quickly.

Confirmed order confirmation can means Proforma invoice too, on the basis of which a customer can execute payment. Upon the confirmed order creating a variable symbol can be created too. As soon as the payment is received, it is necessary to create the invoice from the appropriate order and to transfer the received payment to that invoice.
