Topic: cancel order vs delete order

in sales_order_entry.php i think more appropriate is for

$cancelorder = _("Cancel Order");  to be
$cancelorder = _("Delete this Order");

since that's exactly what it dose. It delete the order/quotation from your system.

"Cancel" mean that if you edit some items but then decide that you don't want the changes to apply (yet), you'll click cancel order (because that's how windows works) and you end up with deleting your file... It happened to me a few times. wink

Re: cancel order vs delete order

I see that this text has different meanings, depending on creating a new invoice or editing an existing.

If creating a new sales order, the button cancels the Changes and if an existing order it means deleting a sales order.

If you Place your mouse pointer over the button, you will see an explaning text about what is going to happen.

This is the reason for Calling it Cancel Order.
