Sales Order
An agreement that is used to sell items or services to a business partner according to certain terms and conditions. A sales order consists of a header and one or more order lines.

The general order data such as business partner data, payment terms, and delivery terms are stored in the header. The data about the actual items to be supplied, such as price agreements and delivery dates, is entered on the order lines.

Position
The number used to identify the position of the order line on the sales or purchase order.
Sequence Number
The number used to identify in detail the position number of a sales order (delivery) line or a purchase order line (detail).
Component Sequence
The sequence number of the sales order line component.
Hold Reason

A reason for blocking a sales order or a sales order line, which can be:

  • The open order balance exceeds the customer's credit limit.
  • The customer has overdue invoices.
  • The customer's status is doubtful.
  • The sales margin of one of the order lines is exceeded.
  • The gross margin of the order is exceeded.
  • The sales order is received through EDI.
  • The sales order has an invalid zip code.
  • The sales order is entered by an inexperienced operator.
  • The sales order line contains a blocked item.
  • A promotion is linked to the sales order (line).
  • A user-defined general reason.

An order can be held for more than one reason at any point in the sales order procedure. For example, an order can be blocked due to credit checking (the order balance exceeds the customers credit limit) at the same time as being blocked due to margin control (the gross margin of the order is exceeded).
