Writing an order: What to consider
Why should you create an order?
The offer is written and found good by the customer. You have already received his positive response by e-mail or phone. Then the next step can come and you can write the order to record the whole project and also the customer’s commitment in writing once again.
Find out here what content to consider and why you should create an order in the first place.
Writing an order brings legal certainty
After the written order confirmation, you can start writing the order itself. Here you record once again all the important details that you have agreed with your customer.
The order itself is thus an official document that is used in daily communication with the customer. And this has very clear advantages for both sides. Because both sides gain legal certainty through the clear formulation of the framework conditions.
Information on an order
Although there are no strict formal requirements for the document itself, you should nevertheless adhere to some specifications. This way, not only will everything be correct, but you will also make a professional impression.
The following information should be included:
- Full name and address of the client/customer
- Your full contact details including e-mail address, telephone and fax number (if applicable)
- Your tax number
- Customer number
- Order number
- Date
- Description of the products
- Prices for individual items
- Shipping conditions
- Shipping country
- Tax country

Write order: The step saves time
