Overview
A sales order is an agreement between a business association and a customer concerning the delivery of products or provision of services. This process involves order capturing, order status management, payment terms and method setup etc.
A customer can place an order from the storefront or a customer service representative (CSR) can place the order on behalf of a customer from the back end.
Business Purpose
A Sales Order from customer notifies the business of customer wants. It tells the business who is the customer, what are the products or services ordered, what is the payment term and method, what are the billing and shipping addresses, any special instructions for delivery, order priority etc.
Sales Order document is created in the system with a unique reference number that comes handy for better customer service afterward. It enables a business to offer the customer to have a choice to change ordered items. The customer also gets the details of the order which can be accessed through his profile on the storefront at any time if registered or else can use the order reference number while contacting the business for reporting any issues.
Order status transitions help business to filter orders based on status (Created, Approved, Rejected, Completed etc.) Current order status tells the state of order in the system at any given time which is used effectively by CSRs while communicating with customers over the phone.
Order payment terms and method tells the business how the order payment is going to be processed. It helps in timely fulfillment of orders, which is key to success for any business. Same is with billing and shipping information on the order, it tells the business which address to be used for invoicing and which one for shipping. Having an effective order capturing process helps to engage your customers.
A customer always provide shipping method details to let the business know about his shipping preference to ship the order and in other ends, CSR always captures shipping method along with special instructions for delivery.

Sales Quote
Overview
A sales quote is a document sent to a potential customer, offering to sell goods or services at a certain price under specified conditions. It allows buyers looking for specific products to get an estimate of the cost involved in completing the purchase.
CSR creates a quote for the customer with list prices and assigns the appropriate discount (based on customer relationship). If the discount is not yet in the system, the CSR creates the discount. After the customer approves the quote and sends the purchase order, a sales order is created from the quote.
Business Purpose
A sales quote is to let a customer know the cost of goods or services before they decide to purchase them. It can help the customer to decide what products or services they want to buy, at the best price.
There are a number of items that should be considered when preparing a quotation for a customer:
Products List
Discounted Rates
Time Period etc.
Actors
Scenarios
The three scenarios of the Sale Quote process are:
Create Sales Quote
Update Sales Quote
Convert to Order
Create Sales Quote
Customer contacts CSR, with a request for a Quote for specific products and quantities for each. CSR records request for Quote, creates a Quote and sends it to the Customer. After getting approval from Customer and before the creation of the Sales order the CSR needs to update the Status of the Created Quote.
