SalesOrderID - identify transactions
AdaptAccounts applications involve processing and summarizing transactions. One of the first requirements in such a system is the need to uniquely identify transactions. Although many transactions may have some external information that can identify them, for reliability it's necessary to have the system ensure that these transactions are identified uniquely. In practice this means transactions must be serialized by the system.
Each Sales Order transaction is uniquely identified by a system generated number called its SalesOrderID.
For example, assume you have a Sales Order transaction whose SalesOrderID is 37093. It will be the only Sales Order transaction whose SalesOrderID is 37093. No other Sales Order transaction will have that same SalesOrderID. If you delete that Sales Order that SalesOrderID will not be reused.
SalesOrderType - transaction type
There are two different types of transactions in Sales. The type is specified in the SalesOrderTypeID field. A Quote may subsequently be changed to an Order.
1 Order Sales Order
2 Quote Sales Quotation
