# Orders with payment terms no longer always include an `OrderTransaction` when created from a Draft Order

Orders with payment terms no longer always include an `OrderTransaction` when created from a Draft Order. Going forward, the `transactions` field on these Orders will be treated as an output that provides specific information about payments and other financial events related to the order, rather than as an implicit signal or side effect of creating an order from a draft.

If your app depends on implicit `OrderTransactions` that are added by creating an order from a draft, then you will need to switch to alternative options, for example recording payments or payment methods on an order to create an `OrderTransaction`.
