The Nettailer order section will provide you with a list of orders that are ready to be handled. The order list contains useful and detailed information such as the order number, who placed the order, and much more. Once you are ready to start processing your orders, you will first need to click on an order to begin the process. The Nettailer order section also provides you with a comprehensive filter system, should you wish to search for a different order status or filter orders by other means.
USEFUL TIP You can save your search filter settings. On future searches, you can just select a preconfigured search instead of having to select and configure all the filter details every time.
Status | What it means |
---|---|
All | Every order irrespective of what status it has. |
Uncommitted | Orders where user didn't complete checkout. |
Order received | Orders which have been received but are waiting to be processed. |
Wait finance | Orders which are waiting for confirmation of payment. |
Await bank | Orders which are waiting for confirmation of payment. |
Payment denied | Orders that have been put together & payment attempted, but payment was unsuccessful. |
Processing | Orders that are awaiting dispatch. |
Partially dispatched | Orders where some lines have been dispatched, but others have not. This could also mean that some lines have not been fully dispatched (E.G. 5 hard disks ordered, but only 3 dispatched). |

Delivered | Orders which have been delivered to the customer. |
Cancelled | Orders which have been cancelled. |
The orders section is the first page you will see from the admin section when you are logged in as a store administrator. To view your orders pending in the store you will first of all need to click on “orders”. Once you have clicked onto an order you will be able to see all the items within the order and the customer content.
For those of you that use more than one distributor you can click on the online quantity in stock button which will provide you with information on which distributors sell the items within each order placed. This feature will allow you to make quick and informed business decisions on where to order items from as you will know if the items are in stock, the ETA date, the price and your margin.
The next step of the order process would be to use the drop down box next to each product line within the order and select a distributor to order the goods from. Once you have completed this process and providing you have a credit account with your integrated distributors you can now select “send online”. This will send your order direct to the distributors you have selected for processing. If you do not have a credit account or the distributor does not provide an online XML version you will need to place the order manually and directly with the distributors.
If you have sent your order / orders by using the “send order online” functionality, Nettailer will display a pop up box in the centre of your screen to confirm if you want to send the order. Once you have confirmed to send the Nettailer system will show you a confirmation pop up box that the order has been sent to the distributors EDI system.
If you need to amend an order you can do this up before you send the order. You can select “log in as customer” and amend the order as if you were the customer. Once you have processed an order you can save changes by clicking “Save & Close” Once you have submitted the order at distributor level further information such as the “Order Number”, “Distributor”, Tracking” etc will be stored on the Tab line and added to the order.
Throughout the order process the order status changes; Nettailer will update the customer with the status of their order by email.
