Hi Gregory,<br><br>The following excerpt on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_order">wikipedia</a> describes the purpose of Sales Order:<br><i><br></i><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><i>A sales order is an internal document of the company, meaning it is
generated by the company itself. A sales order should record the
customer's originating <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purchase_order" title="Purchase order">purchase order</a>
which is an external document. Rather than using the customer's
purchase order document, an internal sales order form allows the
internal audit control of completeness to be monitored as a sequential
sales order number can be used by the company for its sales order
documents. The customer's PO is the originating document which triggers
the creation of the sales order. A sales order, being an internal
document, can therefore contain many customer purchase orders under it.
In a manufacturing environment, a sales order can be converted into a
work order to show that work is about to begin to manufacture, build or
engineer the products the customer wants.</i><br><br></div>We are not planning to make changes in 5.1 release. Your feedback and suggestions on improving this functionality will be helpful.<br><br>thanks,<br>Sreenivas<br>
