A sales order is a document generated by a seller for its internal use in processing a customer order. The document essentially translates the format of the purchase order received from the customer into the format used by the seller.
A sales order is stored as an electronic document, if a company has an electronic order processing system. This makes it easier for anyone in the company with authorization to access the record. If the system is manual, then multiple copies must be created and distributed around the company.
