Adding Orders to a Scenario

Once Orders are in the Orders Store, they can be selected and added to a Scenario. To add Orders to a Scenario, you fist need to create or select an existing Scenario.

Once a Scenario is Opened, you will be taken to the Scheduling Screen:

Clicking the "Add Orders" button on top of the scheduler will take you to the Orders Store where all orders for your Location are stored, managed and updated.\

Orders are visible and can be filtered using the Shopping Cart style filtering. This allows you to only select the relevant Orders you want to add to a Scenario.

For example, you can select a Due Date Range, Order Status, Order Priority or other attributes to ensure the correct orders are available for Scheduling.\

Once you have filtered and selected the required Orders, click the Add Button.

These Orders will be added to the Scheduling Screen as "Unscheduled Orders".

** Only Orders that are new, or have not been previously added to the Scenario are visible in the Orders Store. This makes it easy to see if you have new Orders available for Scheduling.
