What is a Sales Order?

What is a Sales Order?

A sales order is your record of what a customer is buying from you. Every time you sell a firearm, ammunition, accessories, or a service, you create a sales order to track the transaction.

A sales order records:

  • Who is buying (the customer)
  • What they are buying (products and quantities)
  • How much they are paying
  • When the sale happened
  • The status of the order (draft, confirmed, delivered, invoiced)

Why Use Sales Orders?

Instead of just ringing up a sale and handing over a receipt, CloudFFL's sales orders give you:

  • Automatic inventory updates — When you deliver the product, stock counts go down
  • Linked invoices — The invoice is created directly from the sales order, so amounts always match
  • Complete history — Look up any past sale by customer, date, or product
  • Reporting — See your total sales, top products, and revenue trends

Tip: All sales tools are under Sales → Orders in the top menu.
