Order overview

Find, filter and open all orders of your company and your clients, and process several orders at once.

The order overview is the central list of all orders of your company and your clients – no matter whether they came in through a sales channel, a file import or were created manually. From here you search and filter orders, open the order details, change several orders at once and put orders into a picking cart.

Before you start

  • Your user needs the permission Orders (Aufträge). Some buttons need additional permissions:
    • New order (Neuer Auftrag) – permission to create orders.
    • Checkboxes and Place in picking cart (In Pickwagen legen) – warehouse (WMS) permission.
    • Delete (Löschen) – permission to delete orders.
    • Status filter on the pick list (auf Pickliste) – only for logisticians with the pick list permission.
  • The client must be active. See Clients.
  • Only orders from sales channels and modules that are activated for the client are shown. Manually created and imported orders are always shown. If a channel is missing, contact X-Sitter support.

Ask your administrator if a button is missing for you.

Filter the list

  1. Calendar field – filters by order date. Choose a preset such as Today (Heute), Yesterday (Gestern), last 7 days (letzten 7 Tage), a custom range (Eigener Bereich) or All time periods (Alle Zeiträume).
  2. Truck field – filters by delivery date. If an order date is set, the delivery date filter is ignored.
  3. Select status (Status auswählen) – shows only orders in the chosen status. In addition to all order statuses you can choose Tracking enabled (Tracking gesetzt): orders that already have a tracking number and a shipping method.
  4. All clients (Alle Mandanten) – choose a single client (only shown if you have more than one client), then optionally a module (sales channel).
  5. Use the sort dropdown to sort by date, delivery date or status, e.g. Date (most recent first) (Datum (neueste zuerst)). By default the newest imported orders are on top.

Good to know / Troubleshooting

Message Cause Solution
No orders found (Keine Bestellungen gefunden) The filters are too narrow, or the channel is not activated for the client. Reset the filters. If a channel is missing, contact X-Sitter support.
Error loading orders (Fehler beim Laden der Aufträge) The list could not be loaded. Reload the page. If it happens again, contact X-Sitter support.

New orders reach the overview automatically from your connected sales channels, from file imports or when you create an order manually.
