If Microsoft Dynamics NAV is set up to integrate with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, then you can create sales orders in Microsoft Dynamics NAV from sales orders in Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

You can only create sales orders from incoming sales orders in Microsoft Dynamics CRM that have been submitted. When a sales order is created in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, it is populated with data from the Microsoft Dynamics CRM sales order. It is also coupled to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM sales order which enables you to navigate to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM sales order from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV. When the sales order in Microsoft Dynamics NAV is posted, the status of the coupled Microsoft Dynamics CRM sales order changes to Invoiced.

Note
After you create a sales order in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you cannot synchronize its data with the data in the coupled Microsoft Dynamics CRM sales order. This means that you cannot update the Microsoft Dynamics NAV sales order to future changes that were made to the coupled sales order in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and vice versa.

For more information about integrating Microsoft Dynamics CRM sales orders, see About Dynamics CRM Sales Order Integration.
