What is the difference between the types of orders?

Different orders can be created in the module Purchase. 

 A  purchase order  allows you to order products from stock. Free order lines are used if the product is not available from module Inventory. 

 A  local purchase order  is the same as a product order, with the exception that a different purchase process can be configured. A local purchase order offers the crew the opportunity to purchase local products and register them in MXSuite. 

 A  service order  allows you to request a service. In this case, it is not possible to add products from stock. 

 You can configure the process for all orders, but product orders may differ from service orders.
