Orders - Create/Edit/Copy/Delete

Differences between Order and Job

An “Order” can consist of a single job, a single estimate or it can contain multiple jobs and estimates, we have taken this approach for a couple of reasons...
  • When creating an order that may have multiple parts in PrintJobManger, it will hold the organization settings so all you need to do is select a new product engine and answer the prompts
  • Most online storefront solutions use a checkout cart that can contain multiple items and each item may have different production workflow. Here is an example:
    • ​Order # 100 - 4 items
      • ​100-1 May be for 500 Pocket Folder
      • 100-2 May be for 500 Business Cards
      • 100-3 May be for 500 Brochures
      • 100-4 May be for 2 Banner
