In some industries, customers commonly place orders for a certain volume of product and ask for regular
9
deliveries from an order up to the total amount on it. This principle, called open orders, is managed
10
by the :mod:`sale_delivery` module in Open ERP.
12
Open ERP handles open orders easily. An open order is an order for a
13
certain quantity of products but whose deliveries are planned for various dates over a period of
16
To do that you must install the :mod:`sale_delivery` module (in ``addons-extra`` at the time of writing).
17
A Sales Order is entered as a normal order
18
but you also set the total quantity that will be delivered on each order line.
20
Then you can use the new tab :guilabel:`Deliveries` on the order to plan the quantities sold and enter your
21
delivery planning there.

*Managing open orders, planning forecasts*
29
In the order lines, Open ERP shows you the quantity planned in addition to the quantity sold so you
30
can verify that the quantities sold equal the quantities to be delivered. When you confirm the
31
order, Open ERP no longer generates a single delivery order but plans scheduled despatches.
33
.. tip:: Invoicing Mode
35
If you work with Open Orders, you should set the order into the mode :guilabel:`Invoice from the Packing`.
36
Then the storesperson will be able to replan and change the quantities of the forecast deliveries
