Sales order The sales order, sometimes abbreviated as SO, is an order received by a business from a customer. A sales order may be for products and/or services. Given the wide variety of businesses, this means that the orders can be fulfilled in several ways. information including slit width, quantities, sizes and inventory details about master coils or jumbo rolls is available in the Baan software. The information would then be transferred to the optimization module of TietoEnator. In the optimization module, the system will make several proposed slit plans based on parameters like scrap percentage, delivery dates and stock quantities. The optimum slit plan is then transferred back to the Baan software, where the slitting order will be executed and reported complete. The integration to iBaan for Finance guarantees the correct financial bookings including scrap and trim losses.
