Billing on Order Activation
As soon as you accept a Quote/Proposal, an order is generated. Assets and billing schedules are created when you activate that order.
You can activate an order by entering Ready for Activation date. You can also auto-activate an order on order generation. To auto-activate an order, on the Proposal page, select the Auto Activate Order checkbox. You can also customize order activation based on your business needs.
The order detail page displays key information that is carried forward from the quote/proposal or agreement object. The following table describes the key fields on the order line item.
