Navigating Orders
Where to find your orders
In the portal, go to the Orders tab on the left side, here you will see all orders in all different statuses. The most recent order will be up top.
Difference between ID# and Reference Number
- ID# - unique identifier assigned by Logicbroker to that specific document *Olivela doesn’t reference the ID# at all unless in special cases
- Reference # - Typically the PO Number or PartnerPO. This is the reference number you would use in your internal systems. This number ties all the order documents together (acknowledgments and shipments) *an Olivela reference number will always begin with ‘SO’
Customizing and filtering your document view
Users can customize visible columns by clicking on the three vertical lines in the top right corner
- Source Key - specifies the source of the document based on the key
- Requested Ship Date - displayed only if the date is on the order (requested by the retailer)
- Sender - name of the partner who sent the document
- Receiver - name of the receiver of the document
- SubStatus -
- System - the system (portal, EDI, Workflow, etc.) where the document was generated
* Olivela recommends that you expand on the visible columns by adding the Requested Ship Date” + include definition of RSD
You can also filter your results by clicking on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner. This will allow you to select a certain date, system, status of a specific document and more. This is useful if you only want to see orders in a Ready to Ship Status or Shipments in a Complete status, etc.
