When you turn a quote into a customer order, you use this button. The loaded quote is given Status 9 (Order) and a new customer order is created based on this quote. A window appears where you can enter a unique customer order number. If this field is left empty a new number is taken from the number series.
If a quote number consists of several linked quotes as sub-numbers, then a control question appears asking if the linked quotes should be cancelled by selecting status 8. If you confirm this with OK, all the linked quotes will be given Status 8 (Order via another quote).
The customer order is created for the quote that is loaded from the quote register. The delivery period for this customer order will be the period entered in the field called Finish period. If there is no date in that field, the delivery period will be today's date plus the selected delivery time under the Terms of the quote. However, the program will not change the delivery periods that have been entered manually on the quote rows.
It is possible to save a quote to status 9 "Order" without having to create a customer order from the quote by manually entering the status in the field. When a quote has status 8 or 9 it cannot be modified. You can also activate a quote for a new order registration by changing the status to less than 8.
