sales order we can also add items that represent a product bundle a product bundle is essentially an item group with multiple items under it bundling items makes it easier to list items that are usually grouped together in sales transactions if the item stable in a sales order contains a product bundle then all the items included in that product bundle will be listed in the packing list table we can also select the appropriate tax category and sales tax template to calculate taxes automatically next we can even select the shipping rule to calculate the shipping cost if we want to offer additional discounts to our customer then we can define that discount as a percentage or a lump sum here in the additional discount section based on this discount the grand total of the sales order will be calculated we can select a payments term template to add information in the sales order about payment schedule for this order any further terms and conditions can be added in the terms and conditions section by selecting a template or typing them out we will learn more about adding sales team and sales partner details in the next chapter once we have filled in all the details in our
