What you stage a record file, you have the option of saying "this is an order
record". This is how Koha knows if file is an order file and not a standard
marc record file.

The difference is how an order file is set up. In a traditional marc record,
you have items in 952, one for each item. In an order file, you have simply
have a field for quantity, a field for budget code, etc. These are defined in
MarcFieldsToOrder. This pref can also be used for regular marc files. The
difference is that order records have not for loan, home and holding branch,
and itemtype preset as well.

So basically, order records have more data preset and are less "editable"
compared to regular marc records.

The workflow goes something like this:
1) You place an order with your vendor from their website
2) You download the order record and stage in in Koha
3) You create a basket and import the order records, which automatically have
the data pre-set to match the order you placed on the vendor's website.
