Order Item

What is an Order Item?

An order item specifies the quantity of a product or product number in the context of a sales order. In this context, it is important to know that the term order item refers to only one of the items in an order. The order items can also contain texts that are displayed to the picking personnel. But they can also be aimed at the assembly department - especially if additional services must be performed on an order item.
