An order is an agreement between a company and a customer to provision services or deliver products with a known quantity, price, and date. Your Salesforce admin determines whether you add orders to contracts or accounts.

For example, an Internet service provider probably requires customers to commit to a year of service. That company requires contracts as a reference for every order. But a company that sells clothing probably sells products in a single transaction. That company associates each order with an account.
