# Sales orders
Sales orders are used for the sale of goods and/or machines. You always create a sales order for a Partner. After creating it, you can also see whether the selected Partner has a Memo [Memo](/en/crm/contacts.md#memo) has.
Via the lines you can add items to the order. When you add a line, the discount is determined based on the [price agreements](/en/crm/sales-price-agreements.md). If this has happened, the calculated discount remains fixed; it will therefore no longer change if you later modify the price agreement. Of course, you can still change the discount manually.
Searching for an item can be done in two ways. If you click the field where you can search for an item, you will see a search menu. In the left section you can search in your own item file. In the right section you search for items at suppliers. There you will only see the results that directly match the code you are searching for. Don’t know the item code exactly or want to search more extensively? Then choose the catalog browser (ALT + C). If you select an item that is not yet in your own item file, it will be added automatically.
With the button at the bottom right of the screen (see image below) you open a sidebar with extra options for the sales order.
In this sidebar you can:
* View invoice address
* View and edit delivery address
* Change / enter order date and delivery date
* Enter a discount for the entire sales order
* Specify invoice preferences
* Change VAT type
### Ordering via the webshop
Via the button "Order items via the supplier webshop" you start a so-called OCI session at the supplier's webshop (e.g. Kramp or Granit). On the webshop you fill your shopping cart as you normally would, and after completing it you return to Powerall. The items from the shopping cart are placed directly on the order. Optionally, an order is placed with the supplier for these parts at the same time.
### Delivery note
Via the [action button](/en/general/interface.md#actieknoppen) Delivery Note you can create a delivery note PDF from the sales order. This shows the partner details, item numbers and the number of items. There are no prices on the delivery note. You can adjust the delivery note layout via the [layouts](/en/configuration/layouts.md).
### Invoicing
When invoicing a sales order, you can choose which lines you want to invoice. If you tick only part of them, the order remains open. The remaining lines can be invoiced separately later. This is called partial invoicing.
When invoicing, you can optionally choose the option '[Direct checkout](/en/financial/cash/pay-directly.md)'. You can use this, for example, when the sales order is paid directly at the counter, e.g. by card or cash.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
