## Item tracking

To support item tracking in all pre-configured processes, modify existing item tracking codes. [See more](/business-central/docs/bc-item-tracking-processes-prerequisites).

## Sales order

In this demo script, a released sales order is shipped. Create this released sales order before using the Sales Order Shipment pre-configured process.

> [!NOTE]
> **Tip**
> 
> Instead of entering a sales order, you can execute the demo script "Create Sales Order" to create a new sales order for location BLUE. Make sure you order items that are in inventory at the location. Do not forget to release the sales order in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to make it eligible for use in this process.

### Steps

Execute the following steps before running this demo process.

1. Go to the **Sales Orders** page.
2. Create a new order for customer 10000, The Cannon Group PLC.

| Type | No. | Location Code | Quantity |

| Item | FF-100 | BLUE | 10 |
| Item | 80216-T | BLUE | 10 |
| Item | 80102-T | BLUE | 3 |
3. Add the following lines with the exact items and quantities shown below.
