	<AimSection><Paragraph>On a sales order or sales quotation, you can indicate whether you want the sold goods to be <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#DirectDelive.td" role="glossary" Update="No">directly delivered</Link>. In case of a direct delivery, a sales order results in a purchase order.
