Inventory Orders Overview
Inventory orders in Boulevard can have a Status of Open, Placed, or Received, representing the process the order goes through before you add the items to an invoice to sell. When you submit an order to the company, you can then import or manually enter it into Boulevard. Once a new order has been created (1) and saved, its status will automatically be set to Open. After you have compared the totals with your Order Details from the InTouch website and confirmed that they match, you will set the order status to Placed (3) in Boulevard. The items you ordered will be added to the On Order field to display what is in your shipment.
Once you have physically received the order, you will go to the order in Boulevard and set the status to Received (4). The amounts from the On Order field will then be added to what is currently in the On Hand field (view specific information from the product list or product profile).
To access inventory orders, from the sidebar navigation, clickProducts, then Inventory Orders.
