what makes a sales order a cash sale

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

A Sales Order becomes a Cash Sale in NetSuite when the sale of goods or services is recorded and payment is received immediately at the time of delivery. This is in contrast to an Invoice transaction, which records the sale of goods and services when payment is not received at the time of delivery. In the context of NetSuite, a Sales Order is a non-posting transaction, meaning it does not have an accounting impact until items are shipped and an Invoice or Cash Sale is created from the Sales Order to bill the customer for the items. If you want to create a future Cash Sale record, you could create a Sales Order and then use a custom workflow or script to convert it into a Cash Sale on the desired date. If you have a credit card attached and process it using a merchant in NetSuite, the customer would be charged at the time of the Cash Sale. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
