How to: Create Orders for Opportunities

You can make sales orders from the sales quotes that you have created for your opportunities.

Before you can create sales orders for your contacts, you must create the contact as a customer. For more information, see How to: Create Contacts as Customers, Vendors, or Bank Accounts.
