When you create a document, you can always refer to one or more documents that you created
earlier (except for quotations). A sales order will remain open until you have transferred all the
items to a follow-on document (Delivery or Invoice), or until you manually close or reverse them.
The following graphic shows the various sales documents and their properties.
