Order overview

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 a role with full permissions will see:

The search bar can be used to find orders. You can search by tenant order ID, consumer, 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.

  • Creation date: Filters orders by the date they were created in fulfillmenttools.

  • 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 type.

  • 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.

  • Article: Filters orders by their included article.

By default, orders are shown from the last 12 months. They are sorted by order date in ascending order. 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.
