Introduction to Customer Order
Customer Order (CO) is a new type of order for LS Central. The orders are created through a web-request from the POS or from LS eCommerce, and appear in BackOffice and on the POS. Items in orders can then be picked, collected, or put back. The cashier can open a list of orders on the POS that have items in one of these statuses: To Pick, To Receive, To Collect, or To Put Back.
Lines in a single Customer Order can have different statuses at any time. Each item line can be processed individually, depending on item availability. This will leave lines in the order with different statuses during the processing of the whole Customer Order. The Customer Order is only finalized and posted when all items in the order have been processed, either by delivering the items through collect or shipment or by canceling individual items or even the whole order.
The table lists available statuses:
