Question: 1 / 400

In what case do sales orders not impact accounts immediately?

When items are fulfilled

Before items are shipped or services rendered

Sales orders typically do not impact accounts immediately because they are recorded as a commitment to deliver goods or services, not as an actual sale until the items are fulfilled or the services are rendered. This means that the financial impact on accounts receivable and revenue recognition only occurs when the items are shipped or the services are performed.

In the case of sales orders, the transaction remains on the books without altering financial statements until the fulfillment process takes place. Before this fulfillment—when the order has simply been created and recorded—the financial accounts are not yet affected.

Once the items are fulfilled or shipped, the corresponding financial impact occurs, such as an increase in accounts receivable and revenue. Therefore, option B accurately describes the situation where sales orders do not immediately impact accounts.
