A drop down box in the section header provides access to these functions:

• PDF, prints a standard format (.PDF) of the customer order summary for you.
• Email, sends an email ,with subject of this order and with the order (.PDF) attached, to any addressee of your choosing. The standard confirmation email button,which uses a pre-configured template letter, is located in the "Contact Information" section.

Note: If you need to cancel an order, click on [Edit or Add Items] in the "Order Items"
section below, and the [Cancel all Items] button will cancel the whole order for you. You can
alternately cancel individual items one by one, to rebuild the order content without canceling

Note: An order is considered "modifiable" if it has not been canceled, completed, or
rejected.

• Invoiced - The number of units that have been invoiced to the customer.

Each order line item section will also display the quantity per ship group if you have allowed shipping items in the order as separate ship groups.

Each line item section also displays inventory details about that product, including:

• Required for SO - This tells you how many units are currently required for existing orders.
• In Inventory QOH - This is the total number of units in your warehouse.
• On Order - This tells you how many units you have ordered from a supplier.
• In Production - This is how many units you are currently being manufactured internally.
• Unplanned - This tells you how many units you must either manufacture or order, given your requirements for existing orders and your inventory (factoring in units currently on order from a supplier or in production internally).

Edit Order Item Buttons

There are three buttons in the "Order Items" section:

• [Edit or Add Items] - This button takes you to the Edit Purchase Order Screen.
• [Estimated Delivery Date] refer to Edit Delivery Dates Screen
• [Create as New Order] - This will use the current purchase order information to create a new order. Clicking the [Create as New Order] button will take you to the Review Order Screen where the newly crafted order will be displayed.

Notes

In this section you can make private or public notes about an order. Clicking the [Create New] button will take you to the "Add Note" screen, where you can enter the note into an information section and select whether the note is an internal or a public note from the drop down menu. An internal note is absent on printed documents and unavailable to anyone not logged in as the user who created the note. Click the [Save] button to save the note and return to the "View Order Screen" or click the [Go Back] button to return to the screen without saving.

If a note is labeled "internal", you have the option of clicking the [Make Public] button from the "View Order" screen to change its status. Similarly, if a note is not labeled "internal" you have the option of clicking the [Make Private] button to change its status.
