Orders

The Network order overview provides an overview of all orders across the fulfillment network. What actions you can perform and what you can see, will depend on your user role and permission.

Below is what an Administrator role will see:

The search bar can be used to find orders. You can search by tenant order ID, end customer, address, stickers and labels, article name and ID, order custom attributes, facilities, carrier track-and-trace ID, and custom service names.

You can also use filters to find relevant orders:

  • Order date: Filters orders by order date.

  • Facilities: Filters orders by the facility where fulfillment occurs.

  • Facility countries: Filters orders by the country where fulfillment occurs.

  • Delivery countries: Filters orders by the country of the delivery address.

  • Type: Filters orders by order typearrow-up-right.

  • Carrier: Filter orders by the carrier.

  • Process status: Filters by the aggregated status of the process. Note: Finished can represent any state marking the process as complete, such as Delivered, Picked Up, or Pickup Canceled.

  • Completion by: Filters by the time when the pick job should be completed.

  • Brands: Filters orders containing items from specific brands.

  • Routing: Filters orders by their routed status, whether routed to a facility or unroutable.

  • Lock: Filters orders by their locked or unlocked status.

  • Delivery progress: Filters orders by their delivery status sent from the carrier.

Orders are sorted by order date in descending order by default. To change the sorting, click the arrow on any column to sort the table by that column.

Use the customize icon at the end of the table to change which columns are shown in the table and in which order. Alternatively, use the more icon on each column to change it's position.

FAQ

chevron-rightHow can I effectively search for a specific order?hashtag

The search feature in the Order Overview is used to locate specific orders. The search supports various fields, such as Tenant Order ID, End Customer Name, Delivery Address, Article Name and ID, and Carrier information. Filters can also be applied to narrow down the results.

To perform a search:

  • Enter relevant criteria into the search bar.

  • Apply filters to refine the search further.

  • Review the results list, which will display orders matching the criteria.

By utilizing these tools, the process of finding specific orders is streamlined, enhancing workflow efficiency.

chevron-rightHow to determine the status of each order?hashtag

The status column displays the aggregated status of each respective order. For example, with an order split where one facility has completed its part while another has not yet started, the order will be marked as in progress. Only once all locations have finished their part and the goods have been delivered to the customer will the order status be updated to delivered. All status definitions are described in the Order process states section.

chevron-rightHow can I utilize the order view to prioritize orders based on urgency or specific criteria?hashtag

The sort feature can be used to organize orders by Preferred Date or Target Time, ensuring urgent orders appear at the top. Filtering out finished orders helps focus only on pending tasks. This streamlines operations and ensures timely processing of priority orders.

chevron-rightHow can I update or change the status of an order?hashtag

The order status is primarily determined by the processes occurring at the facility and updates received from the carrier, thus allowing minimal manual intervention. However, certain operational aspects can be influenced, such as canceling the order or restarting the picking process to update the order's progression status. This ensures that the status reflects the most accurate state of the order within the fulfillment process.
