What is the "Direct order" for?

Hi, what is the « Direct Order » for? In what situations should it be used?

Hi @marty

Declare a specific direct order stock location, by checking the direct order location checkbox.

Configure the company via the Stock Config button, with this direct order default stock location.

When the direct order checkbox of Sale Order is activated the Stock location field is populated with direct order stock location

Hope this can help you

Thank you very much. This is undoubtedly explaining how it works. However, any chance you could explain in simple language:
(a) what « Direct order » is?
(b) what are the typical real-life use examples?
