Overview
In this article, you can see where you can find a list of submission errors, all orders, and each order's details page.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Submission Errors
Any invalid orders (bad data) sent to your account are listed here. This section allows the errors to be fixed and resubmitted if required. You can create a notification for submission errors in the Setup > Triggers section.
All Orders
Here, you will see a list of valid orders that have been set to your account.
Each order has a Status (see below for details), several shipments (collections of things to be shipped), several Line Items (things to be produced), and a due date. NOTE: Find the documentation on submitting orders in the API Reference section.
Brands can send orders to your account by using your account name as the order “destination”. Your account name is shown at the top right of your screen.
The SLA counter at the top right of the screen shows how many dispatches you are due to complete today and how far along that process you are.
What does the status column mean?
Every order goes through a life cycle once received and this is indicated by the Order Status:
Processing Statuses | Pending | A brand has submitted an order but has not cleared it for processing yet. At this time, your SLA has not begun, and the order cannot be processed |
DataReady | This indicates that we’ve received the order and are in the process of fetching the appropriate files. At this point, your SLA has not begun, and the order cannot be processed. | |
Live Statuses | PrintReady | We have fetched all the files for the order, and it is now ready to produce. At this time, your SLA has begun, and the order items will appear in your Production section Complete - All production items have been completed and the order can now be shipped. |
Finished Statuses | Shipped | This order has been shipped and the Brand has been notified. |
Cancelled | Either you or the brand has cancelled the order. The date/person will be recorded in the orders logs on the details page | |
Exception Statuses | Error | There was a problem fetching the files associated with an order. See the order details for more information. |
You can use the filters on this page to view orders by status as well as by the date they were submitted.
Clicking an order or scanning a barcode while viewing the orders list will open the order details page.
Order Details
As you select and click on an order, you see this page which shows you the contents of a given order.
A panel on the right holds the order details, a log of order actions, and all postbacks associated with this order, as sent by triggers.
In the center, see each shipment for the order displayed with a list of Line items within.
You can expand or collapse Shipments and Line Items to limit the data in your view.
What are Attributes?
Attributes are a custom list of production details submitted by the brand for each item component. Typically, these will describe the Product substrate, finish, and binding. You should agree with your brand and what attributes and values you intend to use.
