NOTES: New orders, as reported in the monthly Manufacturers Shipments, Inventories, and Orders (M3) survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, are net of order cancellations and include orders received and filled during the month as well as orders received for future delivery. Orders are defined to include those supported by binding legal documents such as signed contracts, letters of award, or letters of intent, although in some industries this definition may not be strictly applicable. See more details at http://www.census.gov/indicator/www/m3/m3desc.htm.
The Census Bureau released revised historical new orders data on May 21, 2001. This report reflects those revisions.
