A customer order is a formal order from the customer which provides details of the amount and due date for a customer’s requirement of products. It is a legal document specifying the orders made by the customer. In addition, it states the amount of money to be paid, the due date on which the funds can be expected, and the quantity of the product delivered.

Once a purchasing contract between a customer and a supplier has been signed, one or multiple purchases can be done by the customer based on this contract. A purchase order is created on the customer side, which documents to the supplier that he is ordered to deliver goods based on the contract conditions. This purchase order by the customer creates the customer order object on the suppliers side. Based on this order the suppliers takes all actions, like fulfillment, production or procurement with sub-suppliers to fulfill the customer order.

A customer-order is an immutable object on which each change has to create a new customer-order which eventually references to the old customer order. If the order at the moment of change has been partially fulfilled or billed, all corresponding objects have to become re-associated with the new customer-order.

Lifecycle of a Customer Order

Customer orders can be created by manual creation in the suppliers identity or through digital interaction on the b-op network.
