How to create a Order Product in Salesforce

Order Products are the line-item details on an Order — what was actually shipped or delivered, in what quantity, at what price. They're the link from "Customer agreed to buy" (Opportunity / Quote) to "Fulfillment knows what to ship" (Order Products).

Order Products are the line-item details on an Order — what was actually shipped or delivered, in what quantity, at what price. They're the link from "Customer agreed to buy" (Opportunity / Quote) to "Fulfillment knows what to ship" (Order Products).

  1. Open the parent Order

    Add products from the Order Products related list. The Order needs an Account and a Price Book first.

  2. Confirm the Order has a Price Book

    If not, set Price Book on the Order header. Without one, the Add Products picker is empty.

  3. Open Order Products related list → Add Products

    Multi-select picker filtered by the Order's Price Book.

  4. Set Quantity, Unit Price, Service Date

    Unit Price defaults to List Price. Service Date is when fulfillment happens (drives revenue recognition reporting).

  5. (Optional) set Description and Original Order Product

    Original Order Product links a Reduction Order Product back to its parent — used when reducing an activated order.

  6. Save

    Order Product is created. Order header amounts recalculate from line items.

Mandatory fields

Gotchas
  • An Order without a Price Book can't have products. Set Price Book on the Order header first — common stumble for admins coming from non-Order workflows.
  • Activated Orders are read-only at the header level, but Order Products can still be added (with Order Settings → Allow Order Products to Be Added to Activated Orders). Reduction Orders are how you subtract from an activated order.
  • Service Date drives revenue recognition reports if your finance team uses them. Default is the Order Effective Date — adjust per line if products ship at different times.
