# Create Order

Orders allow you to represent won offers. They enable you to track costs and create invoices or credit notes.

An order can only be created from a **won offer**. To create an order, first set the status of an offer to *Won*. After doing so, the **Generate Order** button appears in the offer overview.  
Clicking this button takes you directly to the **Order Editor**, where you can manage the new order.

When creating an order, **all positions are automatically transferred from the won offer**. This ensures that the calculation and the positions defined in the offer are correctly carried over into the order.

**Invoices** can later be generated from an order. All details about editing options within the order—such as adjusting quantities, prices, positions, or performing other operational steps—can be found in the [Order Editor](https://academy.surface-solutions.com/books/user-manual-en/page/order-editor "Order Editor") chapter.

Through the automatic transfer of offer positions and the direct connection to invoices, the system ensures consistent and traceable billing.
