Order Building
The Complete Ordering Process
Once a selection of desired items is made, usually by making use of the Favorites feature, the ordering process can start.
It includes three main phases:
Order Sharing
Each of these phases is explained in a separate chapter. We will start with Order Building here.
What Is Order Building
Order building is all about adding the items viewed and discussed to your cart and getting them in the right quantities, variations and delivery windows.
In this chapter we will get into the most important steps and how to's of this process.
How To Build Your Order
The first phase of the full ordering process is Order Building.
It includes three steps:
Quantifying The Order
Order Building begins with quantifying. Start from the Product Detail Page of the item you wish to order. If you scroll down, or click the button 'GO TO ORDER GRID', you will see the Order Grid.
If you click inside one of the blank fields in the Order Grid, you can enter the desired quantity of that item in that variation.
To make it faster and easier to add quantities in different variations and sizes, there is the option to copy the amounts entered and pasting them in the next variation of the item. To do so, click the copy icon on the right side of the size chart in the order grid.
The word 'COPIED' will appear where previously the copy icon was. In the next variation lines of the order grid, the word 'PASTE' appears. If you click it, the amounts entered will be pasted.
As soon as you have entered all the amounts, you click 'ADD TO CART'. A pop up screen will appear confirming your items are added to your basket. You can choose whether or not you wish to receive this pop up message each time you add to cart.
The menu offers you the option to go to your cart or to continue shopping. Choose whichever option you prefer and continue your process.
Stock And Future Stock
The Stock & Future Stock functionality allows you to order items that will be in stock later in the season (or the next). With the color code system in the Order Grid, you will see the stock status of the item of your choice at first glance
Start from the Product Detail Page of the item you wish to stock order. If you scroll down, you will see the Order Grid.
Above the Order Grid there is a small overview of different colors and their meanings, corresponding to stock information:
Red = no stock available
Yellow = limited stock
Green = stock available
Blue = future stock
The colors are used in the Order Grid itself right under the space where you can fill out the number of items desired of a specific product variation.
If you click the date window in the top left corner of the order grid, a calendar pops up.
You can use this calendar to check the stock status of an item at a different moment in time. Simply choose the date of your choice and see whether or not the colors representing the stock status change.
If you wish to change the date in the calendar, all the fields need to be empty. You cannot change the date if you have already chosen a certain numbers of item variations in the order grid.
Future Stock
Future stock means ordering items that are not currently in stock yet, but will be as of a certain date. Items with this status have a blue marking in the order grid.
If you wish to order future stock items and see blue in your order grid, simply type in the number of items you wish to receive as of the date mentioned in the calendar.
Continue by clicking 'ADD TO CART'. In your cart you will once more see the expected delivery date for these future stock items.
Pre-packs
Pre-packs are (digital) packages containing a pre-defined set of items in several colors, fabrics and/or sizes. It is an easy way to expand orders and save time building them.
