When the buyer has selected the most suitable quotation, they place an order. An order is a request for goods or services to be supplied.
An order can be completed in hardcopy and sent to the seller, although it may be quicker to place the order online. Once this is done, the buyer will receive confirmation that the order has been received and is being processed.
It is wise to keep a copy of an order for future reference. Example
Zone Fitness looks at different quotations and decides that Gym Supply offers the best value for money. Zone Fitness sends an order to Gym Supply.
