• Ordered - means the distributor accepted the order and is busy preparing the order.
• Shipped - means the order has been processed and is currently being delivered to the ship to location.

2. Released
3. Ordered
4. Shipped
5. Invoiced
   

Section 4 - Order Building and Tracking¶

These buttons are useful to build an order from usage or track the progression of an order.

Add from Usage button¶

The Add from Usage button brings up the screen below.



The screenshot above doesnt suggest any items, because this login to OrderLinx doesn't process orders constantly.

The Usage History Length and Order Days Supply always default to 45 and 15 respectively.

The user can do the following:

• Select individual items to add to the order
• Select or deselect all of the items
• Adjust the order amounts
• Search for particular part numbers
  

Once the user has specified all of the items they would like on the order and the quantity of each, they will have to select the Add Selected button. All of the selected items on the window will appear in the item grid, section 7, with the specified quantity and the Usage History window will disappear.

View History button¶

This button allows the user to see the history of the order. It will display the status of the OrderLinx order and all of the related documents. Below is a example of an OrderLinx order that has been processed to Invoice.

Section 5 - Action Buttons¶

These buttons allow the user to do many things to the order.

Submit button¶

The submit button finalizes the order. This should only be selected with the OrderLinx user is completed with the order and wants to send it to the disributor.

Cancel button¶

The cancel button will cancel the order. This should only be used if the OrderLinx user does want the order anymore. There is no way to reopen the order. The only way to salvage the items on the order is to clone the order to a new order.

Save button¶

This button allows the user to save all of the pending changes on the order. This will only save the order. It will not send it to the distributor.

Print button¶

The print button allows the user to print the order. It is recommended to save the order first.

Section 6 - Pending Items¶

The pending item section allows the user to add items two different ways.

• Manually type an item
• Item Lookup
  

If you know the item code or part of the item code the fastest way to add an item is to manually enter it. In the Item Code / UOM field type the item code. A dropdown will appear with part numbers close to what you typed. If you only know a part of the item (example: You only know 1487 and you want to find SG1487/QT), type % before the part you know. The dropdown will find all part numbers with 1487 in it.

Item Lookup¶

Item lookup should only be used if you are unsure of the item part number.
