# 2. Sending your first order

Sending an order with only minimal data to Tradecloud is quite simple. But first, we need to choose a format for the requested deliveries:

1. [Delivery schedule](/api/guide/sending-my-first-order/sending-my-first-order.md) — multiple scheduled deliveries per order line
2. [Single delivery](/api/guide/sending-my-first-order/sending-my-first-order-1.md) — one scheduled delivery per order line

ERP system compatibility is an important consideration when choosing between delivery methods:

* **Multiple deliveries support**: Some ERP systems (like SAP) natively support multiple deliveries per order line, making them fully compatible with Tradecloud's *delivery schedule* approach.
* **Single delivery limitation**: Other ERP systems can only handle one delivery per order line. If your ERP system has this limitation, the *single delivery* method is recommended for seamless integration.
