Pack Orders

Re-order from suppliers

This is where Flow earns its keep. The Re-order list (under Packing → Re-order list) takes everything you’ve flagged Awaiting stock, groups it by supplier, and walks it through to a placed order and a tracked delivery. It has two sections: To order (shortfalls you haven’t ordered yet) and On order (orders you’ve placed, waiting to arrive).

To order — grouped by supplier

Each supplier gets a card. The header carries the contact details you saved — email, phone, account number — and the total units to order, so whoever places the order has everything to hand. Below it, every awaiting product for that supplier with its SKU, total quantity and the orders waiting on it.

The To order section of the Re-order list, with Download all (CSV) and Print all buttons. Three supplier cards — Brookline Leather (1 unit: Belt, order #542), Capworks Co (3 units: Cap, #541) and Northwind Apparel (2 units: Polo, #544) — each showing the supplier's email, phone and account number, a units badge, a Mark ordered button and CSV / email / print icons.
To order: awaiting items grouped by supplier, with contacts, totals and per-supplier order actions.

For each supplier you can:

  • Mark ordered — files that supplier’s items as a placed order and moves them down to On order.
  • Email — opens a pre-addressed message to the supplier (using their saved email).
  • CSV and Print — export or print that supplier’s list to send however you order.
  • Or use Download all (CSV) / Print all at the top to grab every supplier at once.

Products you haven’t assigned to a supplier still appear here — gathered under an Unassigned group — so nothing slips through.

On order — track it to the shelf

Once you mark a supplier ordered, its items become a tracked order batch in the On order section, badged Ordered. As deliveries arrive you resolve each line:

The On order section showing a Northwind Apparel batch badged Ordered, with two Hoodie with Logo lines (qty 2 for order #539 and qty 1 for #540). Each line has Received, Move to next and Remove action buttons, and the card has a print icon.
On order: a placed batch, badged Ordered, with per-line Received / Move to next / Remove.
  • Received — the stock arrived. The line clears off the awaiting list, ready to pack.
  • Move to next — it didn’t come this time; carry it forward so it lands in the next order to that supplier.
  • Remove — take the line off this batch (e.g. you cancelled it).

When every line is received the batch is done. Back on the order, the item is no longer awaiting — so you can finish packing it and ship.
