When an order has been created for an item in the Product Catalog, the order is added to the lab's shopping list where users can track its progress through the procurement cycle.
Orders are sorted according to their status into the following pages:
- Pending Orders – orders that have been submitted and are awaiting purchase
- Ordered – orders that have been purchased and are en route to the lab
- Received Orders - orders that have been received by the lab
- Completed Orders - archive of all past orders that have been completed
The lab shopping list shows items that have run out of stock and that should be ordered, are ordered or have been received.
eLabTip: In the Completed Orders tab, users will find an archive of all previously ordered items
Use the Filters in the Shopping List to browse through different lists.
Use the Export button to export selected products to an Excel file.
Note: when no products are selected, all pending orders will be exported to an Excel file
To update the status of a product or products, tick the boxes, then choose in the Shopping List Actions drop-down menu to Update Order Status.
eLabTip: the search bar can be used to search for products within Pending Orders
