With the acceptance of a quote, you can send an order confirmation to your customers. First, the quote is accepted, preferably on the quote record itself via the "Order" button:
When the order is received, the products are copied to the opportunity and the quote is marked as primary (checkbox "current quote" sf42_quotefx__SF42_QuoIsPrimary__c).
But even if you only set the opportunity to "Closed Won", you can generate an order confirmation afterwards, provided you have saved your products to the opportunity.
An order confirmation can be created only starting from an opportunity in Closed Won status.
Create new order confirmation
You can find the action "Create new order confirmation" at your opportunity. If the button is not visible, please add it to your page layout:
Clicking the button opens the basic dialog for creating an order confirmation:
In the individual sections you can make the following settings

Explanation
Selection of a quote template
Quote templates can also be created of the "Order confirmation" type.
They differ from quote templates by the active checkbox "Order confirmation" SF42_QuoOrderConfirmation__c
Display of the accepted quote with the corresponding quote number
The quote on which the order entry was activated, i.e. the one that was last synced into the opportunity.
Differentiation from other quotes of the opportunity is the checkbox "active quote" SF42_QuoIsPrimary__c
As an alternative to taking the quote positions from the primary quote, the opportunity products can also be used as the basis of an order confirmation.
In the editor itself, depending on your admin settings, you have the same options as in a normal quote. You can sync the products in your order confirmation - should you have edited them again - back into the opportunity and send them by email from the editor.
Unlike normal quotes, an order confirmation is not assigned its own quote number. The name of the order confirmation is defined via the ordersavename setting. Here, the underlying quote can be referenced via variables, e.g. "Orderentry No. {AcceptedQuoteNumber}-{AcceptedQuoteName}".
