How to create sales orders on Zoho Books?

Hi everyone,

In my today’s blog, I will let you know how to add the sales orders in Zoho Books.

What is a sales order?

A sales order is a document that is issued by a seller to their customers and in this sales order the seller has mentioned all the information regarding the goods & services because if a buyer will buy any goods or services from the seller then it is the duty of the seller that he will deliver a detailed guide to their buyer.

So, this is the main reason a seller always needs to make a sales order for their customers because it is mandatory for all the sellers that he will deliver a good and well condition of goods or services to their customer with all the required details.

Why do we need to give sales orders to the customers or buyers?

This is a good habit to give the sales order to the buyers or customers because it is very important to write in detail about every goods or services and also mention both parties’ details in this sales order. And we always need to send the sales orders to our buyers because of this we can give the satisfaction to our customers or buyers.
