In this tutorial you get a quick overview on how to create a sales order in Akti. Go through the following steps.
1. Open the Sales Orders submenu in the Orders & Deliveries module.
2. Click on 
to add a new order.
You can also create a new order via "Quick add" and then "Order".
With this shortcut button you can create a new order at any time, wherever you are in Akti.
A screen will open in which you can create the order.
An order consists of 4 parts. To create the order in the best possible way, we recommend you to create the various fields in these sections in the following order:
- The order header (more details).
- The settings of the order (more details). Click on the arrow on the right to open the settings.
- The main body of the order (more details).
- Notes (more details). Once again, click on the arrow on the right to open the Notes.
For a detailed description, please refer to the relevant manuals on how to do this for an invoice. These follow the same pattern.
To optimise the use of Sales orders and enable automation, we recommend the following:
- Fill in as many Settings as possible in your Akti account.
- Fill in as many Sales order settings as possible.
- In the customer data, fill in at least the following fields: the VAT number, the VAT regime, the default VAT rate, the payment term, the language for the documents and the Account Manager.
