Quotes, sales orders and purchase orders
What it does
Orders holds your quotes, sales orders and purchase orders, with a tab and a list for each.
| Order type | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Quote | Prices an offer to a customer. You mark it won or lost once the customer decides. |
| Sales order | Work you owe a customer. You fulfil it and collect payment against it. |
| Purchase order | What you have ordered from a vendor. You receive it into a location. |
The figures above each list cover the last 30 days, compared with the 30 days before.
- On quotes, the strip counts quotes, their value, the conversion rate, and how many were marked won and lost.
- Sales orders lead with the order count and the revenue.
- Purchase orders lead with the purchase order count and the spend.
- The figures after those depend on whether your organisation sells goods, services or both. They include Fulfilled, Paid, Received and Outstanding. If your organisation sells services only, Completed takes the place of Fulfilled.
Ticked rows bring up a bar at the top of the list. Bulk actions on orders lists what it does. The Actions menu beside the create button holds Export.
A saved view keeps the filters, search, sort and columns it was saved with. Work boards and tasks covers filters, saved views and selecting rows.
A bulk action, an export or an import runs as a job. Bulk Activity under Settings lists each one with what happened to every record.
- You can have three jobs in progress at once, counting bulk actions and exports together.
- You can’t start a fourth until one finishes or you cancel one in Bulk Activity.
- Imports don’t count toward the three. One import runs at a time in an organisation.
Before you start
You can keep up to 50 saved views of your own on each list.
How to use it
- Select Quotes, Sales Orders or Purchase Orders at the top of the page. If your organisation sells services only, the second tab reads Invoices, and its orders are called invoices throughout.
- Select the view’s name at the left of the list’s toolbar, then choose a view to filter the list.
- Select a row to open that order.
- Select the create button at the top right to start an order of the type you are looking at.
A list opens on its Open view the first time, then on the view you last used, All included.
| List | Views |
|---|---|
| Quotes | Open (draft, sent and viewed), Draft, Sent, Won, Lost and All |
| Sales orders | Open, Paid, Unpaid, Unfulfilled, Partially Fulfilled, Fulfilled, Closed and All |
| Purchase orders | Open, Draft, Sent, Not Received, Partially Received, Received, Late, Closed and All |
All lists every order of its type, including quotes marked as won or lost, and closed and cancelled orders.
| List | The search box filters by |
|---|---|
| Quotes | Status, Tags, Created, Total, Customer, Assignee or Team |

| Purchase orders | Status, Payment Status, Received Status, Tags, Created, Expected Date, Due Date, Total, Amount Owed, Vendor, Receiving Location, Assignee or Team |
Troubleshooting
A cancelled order is missing from the views. There is no Cancelled view. On sales orders and purchase orders, Closed also lists cancelled orders. Read the status badge on the row to tell the two apart.
The figures strip shows a message instead of numbers. Lucrii could not read them for that period.
