What does a sales order confirm?

• A. Items, quantities, and delivery details
• B. Payment terms only
• C. Customer credit history
• D. Delivery address and expected delivery date

Answer: (A)

A sales order is a document that records exactly what the customer has agreed to buy and how it will be delivered. It confirms the items and the quantities to be supplied, plus the delivery details such as where the goods should go and when they are expected to arrive. This combination ensures everyone is clear on what’s being fulfilled and when, so stock, picking, packing, and shipping can proceed smoothly.

Payment terms or the customer’s credit history aren’t part of the order’s core content about fulfilling the sale; they relate to payment and credit assessment rather than the item details and delivery. A delivery address and date are important parts of the delivery details, but focusing on them alone misses the essential items and quantities that are being ordered.
