Orders

Orders represent customer or internal requests for products. Each order contains one or more order lines (items) specifying a product and quantity.

Order Fields

Field	Description
ID	Auto-generated unique identifier (e.g., order-001)
Customer	Optional customer name or reference
Status	Pending — not yet assigned to a wave, InWave — assigned to a wave
Created	Timestamp when the order was created

Creating an Order

1. Navigate to Orders in the dashboard.
2. Click Create Order.
3. Optionally enter a customer reference.
4. Add items: select a product and enter the quantity.
5. Click Save.

Adding Items to an Order

Each order item links a product with a quantity:

• Product — select from the product catalog
• Quantity — how many units are needed

You can add multiple items to a single order. Duplicate products within an order are not allowed — if you need more quantity, edit the existing item.

Order Status

Status	Description
Pending	Order is created but not yet assigned to a wave
InWave	Order is part of a wave and awaiting or in progress
Picked	All items in the order have been picked (determined by wave completion)

Order Lifecycle

1. Created → status is Pending
2. Assigned to a wave → status changes to InWave
3. Wave starts → items are consolidated into pick tasks by product
4. Wave completes → all items in the order are considered picked
5. If the wave is cancelled, orders return to Pending status

Multiple Orders in One Wave

A wave can contain multiple orders. When the wave starts, all items across all orders are consolidated by product. This means pickers pick each unique product once, regardless of which order it belongs to. The system tracks per-order quantities internally.
