Primary purpose

The Orders view provides a unified interface for managing all types of orders across your business, from sales and rentals to buybacks and services.
Browse and manage all in one place, regardless of type or channel.Read more: Order Lifecycle · Save a daily view · Find overdue orders · Show saved views
Type in the Search all orders box to find an order. The search matches:
  • The order reference. A partial reference such as 63 matches too.
  • A customer name. Any customer on the order matches, the main contact included.
  • A stock item code or name. Type the registration number from a key tag to find the order the unit went out on. The search reads the code and name recorded on the order, so a unit you have since renamed, recoded or deleted still finds its orders.
The search does not match company names or order status. Use the column filters to narrow by status.Read more: Mark items returned
The Purchase Types column shows which types of line items each order contains — Booking, Subscription, Sale, or Buyback — displayed as chips. Filter the column to find all orders that include a specific purchase type.Read more: Order Types
The Layout control to the left of the search box opens a menu of layouts — the grid, and a calendar of pickups and returns. It is disabled while the table is grouped, so clear the grouping to switch layouts.The calendar plots the orders currently loaded in the table, which means your filters and the page you are on decide what appears on it. It opens on Grid Week; Grid Month, Grid Day, List Day, List Week and List Month are the other views, and Today with the arrows beside it moves the range.Each event groups the pickups or returns falling in the same slot, and its title counts the orders and stock items behind it. Pickups carry a purple up arrow, returns a blue down arrow.Clicking an event opens a popup that lists one row per order and time:
  • Order reference · customer name on the top line. An order with no customer shows the reference alone.
  • Pickup or Return, the time, and the number of stock items on the second line.
  • A chevron marks the row as a link. Click it, or press Enter or Space, to open that order.
Scrolling the calendar or clicking outside the popup closes it.

Archiving takes an order out of the table without deleting it, and is separate from closing.Archiving an open order closes it first, so the confirmation asks you to acknowledge that:
  • Checkout links stop working.
  • Scheduled payment collections stop.
  • Subscriptions are cancelled.
  • The order becomes read-only.
A selection mixing open and closed orders lets you archive only the closed ones instead.Archiving also revokes the order’s still-active checkout links: they move to Revoked on the Payment tab and tell the customer the link has been cancelled. A link that had already expired or been used keeps that state. Unarchiving returns an order to closed, but does not restore its links — issue a new one to collect again.Nothing is archived automatically. Review and restore archived orders in Settings → Archived assets.Read more: Archiving and Deletion · Archive an order · Unarchive an order

Table Columns

The Date filter on Created, Start date, and End date offers the operators described in Tables, including the relative-day operators that need no date picker. The table adds one column for every order attribute, global or not. The column header is the attribute name. An order that never captured the attribute shows an empty cell. Attribute columns cannot be used for grouping. Here are a few key concepts of TWICE Commerce that relate to order management.
