  • Add Order: Opens the Add Sales Order page, from where you can create a new Sales Order from scratch.

You can also drag and drop column headers into the grey space above the other column headers to group Sales Orders by that column's detail, in an expandable format.

After customizing your column layout, save it for future use:

  1. Click on the Show Toolbar tab.

  2. Select New.

Edits can be made to your custom grid layout at any time; just click Save in the Show Toolbar options after you've made the necessary adjustments. Similarly, custom grid layouts can be removed by clicking Delete in the Show Toolbar tab.

Default grid layouts

Initially, whenever you navigate to the View Sales Orders page, the default grid layout "None" will be displayed.

To make one of your own custom grid layouts the default view:

  1. Click on the Show Toolbar tab.

  2. Select the layout from the Grid Layout drop-down menu

  3. Tick the Shared checkbox.

Manage Sales Orders from View Sales Orders

Whilst the View Sales Orders page can be used to provide an overview of sales made to date, use the actions and functions available in the View Sales Orders page to progress them through your selling processes. The updates that can be made to Sales Orders via the View Sales Orders page depend on whether it's a bulk action, for multiple Sales Orders, or not.

Print Documents

Select Print Documents in the View Sales Orders' bulk action cog to generate PDF documents for your selected Sales Orders, using the Doc Designer's templates selected in the Sales Order, Shipment or Invoice, for the following options:

  • Combined Picklist

  • Orders

  • Invoices

  • Packing Slips

  • Ship Notes

  • Commercial Invoices

  • Labels

Complete Orders and Complete and Print Invoices

Both the "Complete Orders" and "Complete and Print Invoices" actions in the bulk action cog will attempt to complete the selected Sales Orders, creating, completing and dispatching any outstanding Invoices and Shipments for them. The only difference in these actions is that "Complete and Print Invoices" will also generate a single PDF document of all invoices for the selected Sales Orders too.

Change Status

To change multiple Sales Orders to the same status:

  1. In View Sales Orders, tick the checkbox for each appropriate open Sales Order.

  2. Hover over the action cog icon in the grid's header.

  3. Select Charge Status.

  4. Use the Update Status' drop-down menu to select a new status for the orders.

  5. Select Change Status.

You can click on the "New Status" link in the Update Status window to open the custom Sales Order Status page and manage the statuses that are available.

Email Orders or Invoices

Send multiple Sales Orders or Invoices to the appropriate customer contacts by "Email Orders" or "Email Invoices" in the bulk action cog.

By default, the Sales Order's customer's primary contact, "Ordering" or "Invoicing" contact, and default cc email address will populate in the email window. Each order or invoice will show as a tile in the email window and you can click on the To and Cc fields to edit the recipients. The email's Subject and Body will populate from your account's email templates body of the email, in the Message field. Tick the "Send me a copy" checkbox to include yourself as a recipient for each email, then click Send to deliver them to your recipients.

Export to 3PL

Select the "Export to 3pl" option in the bulk action's menu, to email your third-party logistics team one of your Data Exporter templates, pre-populated with the selected Sales Orders' data:

  2. Hover over the action cog icon in the grid's header.

  5. Confirm or update the recipients in the To and Cc fields.

  6. Enter a Subject and Message for the email.

  7. Click Send.
