The Order details page allows you to view and manage all of the details associated with a processing or shipped order. This includes the order's items, shipments, returns, and more.
Available Actions
A number of actions can be performed on this tab, including:
Menu: This menu contains a couple of tools that can help quickly manage the order:
Delay order: This allows you to change the status of the order to Delayed, which indicates to all users that the order should not be fulfilled immediately.
Cancel order: This allows you to change the status of the order to Cancelled, which moves the order to the Archived tab and indicates to all users that the order no longer needs to be fulfilled.
Reset order: This allows you to reset the order status to Not Started and clear all picking and shipping progress that has been made so far.
Stop order: This allows you to change the status of the order to Partially Cleared, which indicates to all users that the order's picking process is still in progress and should be resumed soon.
Force clear order: This allows you to skip the item verification process and change the status of the order to Cleared, which indicates to all users that the order has been picked and is ready for shipment. Note: this is not necessary if you wish to skip picking and ship the order right away - it is simply a way to communicate to other users that this order is ready to be shipped even though the items were not verified in SKULabs.
Edit order: This allows you to make changes to the order's address, customer information, items and more. Note: Editing an order from a sales channel will convert it to a manual order after the changes are saved. Manual orders aren't connected to any sales channels, so they will no longer communicate order changes to or from your stores.
Revert order: This allows you to revert the order to its original state. This is useful if you had previously edited the order (see above) and wish to reconnect it to its sales channel.
Ship order: This allows you to create a shipment and print shipping labels for the order. Any memorized or rule-based shipment settings will automatically be applied.
Mark as shipped: This allows you to mark the order as shipped on its sales channel. Depending on your sales channel configuration, this may send an order shipment notification to the customer without any tracking information, since a shipment was not created when the order was marked as shipped.
Add manual shipment: This allows you to create a manual shipment for the order. A manual shipment is one that does not involve getting rates and paying postage within SKULabs. This is commonly used for carriers that SKULabs doesn't support, such as freight or LTL couriers. Note: In most cases, you'll want to adjust the item Quantity fields to make sure that the order items are deducted from inventory.
Inventory overview: This tool allows you to see the inventory status of each item in the order. You can see at a glance if an item can be fulfilled based on your current on hand inventory, as well as the fulfillment and shipping progress of each item.
Reconcile inventory: This tool allows you to quickly deduct an item's on hand inventory from the item's first available location. This is useful if you encounter an inventory discrepancy during your order fulfillment process.
Scan history: This allows you to see some data on the item scans that have occurred on this order so far. You'll see which items were scanned, which users scanned the items, and when each scan occurred.
Send e-mail: This allows you to quickly send an email to the customer. You can use templates such as shipment notifications, backorder alerts, and more.
View customer history: This allows you to quickly see previous orders from the customer. To see more details of a given order, select its order number from the list.
Convert to manual order: This allows you to quickly convert the order to a manual order. Note: Manual orders aren't connected to any sales channels, so they will no longer communicate order changes to or from your stores.
Print packing slip: This allows you to quickly print a packing slip for the order. You can customize the packing slip template per sales channel on the store's settings page.
Select the dropdown icon on this button to see the other order printing options:
Print combined documents: This allows you to quickly print a packing slip and a shipping label for the order from the same printer. This is handy if you use a label printer for the packing slip as you do the shipping label, as it saves you the extra steps involved in printing each document separately.
Print commercial invoice: This allows you to quickly print a commercial invoice document, which has fields for each item's weight, tariff, origin, and more. This is especially useful in certain international shipping situations since it provides important information for customs and for freight forwarders.
Print item barcodes: This allows you to quickly print out barcode labels for each item in the order. In the printing dialog that appears, you can choose the quantity of each barcode that you wish to print, as well as the barcode and label templates to print with.
Print order barcode: This allows you to quickly print out a barcode label for the order. When this barcode is scanned on the Processing Orders tab, the order details page will be opened automatically. In the printing dialog that appears, you can choose the quantity of the barcode that you wish to print, as well as the barcode and label templates to print with.
Print invoice: This allows you to quickly print a sales invoice for the order. You can customize the invoice template per sales channel on the store's settings page.
Print address label: This allows you to quickly print out an address label for the order. This is the preferred way to ship parcels for many local postal services around the world.
Previous order: This will move to the previous order in the Processing Orders table as it was configured before you entered this order.
Next order: This will move to the next order in the Processing Orders table as it was configured before you entered this order.
