# Manually generate a sales order from a standing order

You can use a standing order to generate a sales order. The information on the standing order's header and lines is copied to the corresponding fields on the new sales order.

Set up a standing order before performing this activity.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If a standing order has been [assigned to a delivery route](/business-central/docs/bc-assign-standing-orders-to-delivery-routes), you cannot use it to manually generate sales orders.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Standing Sales Orders**, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the relevant standing sales order.
3. On the **General** FastTab, in the **Next Order Date** field, enter the order date you want to assign to the new sales order.
4. On the **Actions** tab, in the **General** group, choose **Make Order**, and then choose **Yes**.

A message appears informing you that a new sales order has been created. You can see the new sales order in the sales order list. The standing order is not deleted.
