You can activate an Order by following any of the below-mentioned procedures:
By selecting Auto-Activate Order check box on the Quote/Proposal page: If you choose this option, once you accept a Quote/Proposal, the Order is created and activated simultaneously.
By manually entering an Order-Activation Date: If you choose this option, you have to manually enter a Date and Time in the Order Activation Date field on the Quote/Proposal page.
Once activated, you can see the status of the Asset Line Items and Order Line Items is changed to Activated. See Managing Assets for more details.
