Salgsordr

Salgsordr is the Danish term for a sales order, a formal document that confirms the terms of a sale between a seller and a buyer. It is typically created when a customer places an order or when a seller confirms a quotation, and it serves as the operational blueprint for fulfilling the transaction.

A salgsordr contains essential data such as a unique order number, customer and contact details, order date, and a list of line items with product codes, descriptions, quantities, unit prices, discounts, and tax information. It also shows the total order value, delivery method and address, billing address, payment terms, currency, and the current order status. Related references such as a quote ID or contract number may be included to document the progression from quotation to order.

The lifecycle of a salgsordr typically spans entry and validation, potential credit checks, and confirmation to the customer. Once confirmed, inventory is allocated, goods are picked and shipped, and an invoice is generated according to the agreed terms. The order status is updated as it moves through fulfillment to completion.

In practice, salgsordrer are managed within ERP or CRM systems, often tying together sales, inventory, logistics, and accounting. In e-commerce, orders may be created automatically at checkout and synchronized with back-office processes.

A salgsordr differs from a tilbud (offer) in that it represents an agreed and binding arrangement, while a kontrakt (contract) may carry broader legal implications. Modifications usually require an amendment. Overall, the salgsordr provides a traceable record for revenue recognition, fulfillment, and customer history.
