Orders: Overview


An order is a type of transaction initiated to request/move materials from one entity to another. There are primarily 3 types of orders 

  • Purchase order: raised by a customer to a vendor, requesting for materials
  • Sales order: raised by a vendor, to send materials to a customer
  • Transfer order: raised by an admin/manager, to transfer stock between entities

From the time of creation to fulfilment, an order progresses through different statuses, depending on its movement through supply chain. The different statuses are

  • Pending: newly created orders which are yet to confirmed by the vendor
  • Confirmed: orders acknowledged by the vendor
  • Shipped: orders dispatched by the vendor
  • Fulfilled: orders physically received by the customer
  • Backordered: orders partially dispatched by the vendor
  • Cancelled: order cancelled by a vendor or a customer
