Orders in the top navigation is your brand's order book — every order across all products, from early forecasts to placed production, in one table. Each order ties a product's articles and sizes to a supplier, carries its own dates and status, and moves through its statuses as it goes from planning to delivery.
The orders table
The module is a table — one row per order. The left of each row identifies the order: a picture, the order number, the product name with its article colors, the supplier, the season, and the order type. The scrollable columns to the right hold its status, quantities, dates, mode of transport, comments and files.
There are two ways to fill in or change an order, and both work whether you're creating a new order or updating an existing one:
Open the whole order — click the cell on the far left of the row (the one with the order's image and number), or right click on the row somewhere, or the arrow on the far right to open the detail flyout where you set everything for that order in one place.
Edit one value inline — click any other cell in the row to change just that value in direct in the table.
Right-click anywhere on the row and select a product from the list to go directly to its product page.
Work with the columns the same way as elsewhere in the PLM:
Reorder — grab the dots on a header and drag it into place.
Right-click a header to Hide the column, Pin / Unpin it so it stays in view as you scroll sideways, or Reset columns to default.
The columns
Reading the row left to right:
Image — a picture of the article on the order, or one of them if the order covers several articles.
Order number — shown as #…, generated automatically; it's how the order is identified.
Product and articles — the product the order is for, with its article colors.
Supplier — the supplier the order is placed with.
Season — the season the order belongs to.
Type — the order type, set up in Admin.
Status — where the order sits in its lifecycle. Statuses are configured in Admin. Click the status pill, on the row or in the flyout, to change it. When an order is set to Arrived, tags and quantities are locked for editing.
Tags — labels for categorizing and filtering orders, set up in Admin.
Quantity — the total units on the order, and where you add the articles the order is for. Click the cell to open the quantity popper. Add articles by searching across all available products — scroll the list, type in the search box, or filter — and tick the ones to include; they're added to the popper. The order's total shows at the top. With articles in place, type a quantity into the total and it's distributed across them, or fill in each article and the total sums up. A link icon at the bottom right shows that the articles' quantities are tied to the total — click it to break the link and set the article quantities and the total independently.
Order placement — when the order is placed, with a separate planned and actual date.
Shipment — when the order ships, with a planned and an actual date.
MOT — the mode of transport. Can be configured in Admin.
Arrival — when the order arrives, with a planned and an actual date.
Comment — a free-text note on the order.
Files — Add your own files to the order by dropping or uploading them. To produce an order sheet, export the order by selecting one or more orders, choose Export order sheet, and Resourced generates it as both Excel and PDF and saves the file onto the order's row. The order sheet uses a default template, which can be customised for your brand in Admin — see Excel templates.
The order detail flyout
Click the cell on the far left of the row, or right click on the row somewhere, or on the arrow on the far right to open the detail flyout — the same fields, gathered for one order in one place, so you can set up or review the whole order at once. It's deep-linkable: the order number sits in the URL, so the view survives a refresh and can be shared.
Editing articles, quantities and prices. The article table is where the order's quantities and prices live: articles grouped under their product, a table per size system, with columns for the article, color, gender, principal material, a total quantity, the article's price, and a cell per size.
You can edit the quantity at three levels, and the numbers redistribute as you type:
Size cell — edit for one size directly.
Article total — splits proportionally across that article's sizes.
Product total — splits across the product's articles, then across their sizes.
Enter (or clicking away) commits an edit; Esc reverts the cell. Use Add article to bring more of the product's articles, or another product, into the order.
The article's price shows in the table alongside its total quantity. Flip the table from Quantities to Prices to see and set the price per SKU — each size's price is the same as the article's price unless a specific per-size price is set. The price is the article or SKU cost price pulled onto the order; editing it here stays on the order and leaves the article's and SKU's own cost price untouched.
Currency. The order takes the supplier's currency as its base. If an article's cost price is in a different currency, that article keeps its own currency on the order. Switching the order's currency asks how to handle the prices already there — convert them at the current exchange rate, or re-enter them yourself.
Creating an order
Add order adds a fresh, empty order at the top of the table; fill it in using either path above — open its flyout, or edit its cells inline. You can also start an order straight from a product, by entering a quantity, date, and order type on the article; it lands here in the Orders module, ready to fill in further.
Filtering and finding orders
The Filter bar on the left narrows the table — by hierarchy, season, status, supplier, and tag. The search box takes free text. The gear at the top of the Filter bar opens Configure Filters, where you choose which filters show and which stay hidden.
Importing and exporting
From the three-dot (⋮) menu next to Add order, you can bulk-import multiple orders from a file, and export one or more orders' information as an Excel file. Order sheets exports here too.
How Orders connects to the rest of Resourced
Orders sit downstream of the rest of the catalogue. They draw their articles and sizes from products — and an order can be started straight from a product's article. They're placed with a supplier, whose details ride along in the order export.
