While -ât is originally an Arabic plural suffix, in formal, business, or bureaucratic Farsi, it is sometimes attached to native Persian words like sefâresh to make them sound more official. You will often hear and see sefâreshât (orders) in business contexts instead of the standard Persian plural sefâresh-hâ.

Is mahsulât (products) another example of this formal plural suffix?

Yes! Mahsul (product) is an Arabic loanword, so it naturally takes the -ât suffix to form the plural mahsulât. Unlike sefâresh, this is the standard and most common way to make this specific word plural in Farsi.

How is 'their orders' formed in sefâreshât-eshân? Where exactly does the possessive suffix go?

The possessive suffix -eshân (their) is attached directly to the very end of the plural word. The order of word parts is root + plural suffix + possessive suffix: sefâresh (order) + -ât (plural) + -eshân (their).

Why is the direct object marker râ placed after jadid instead of right after the orders?

The word râ must come at the very end of the entire noun phrase that is receiving the action. The complete direct object here is 'their orders for the new products' (sefâreshât-eshân barâye mahsulât-e jadid), so waits until after the adjective to close the phrase.
