Overview

The order overview (1) provides you with a list of all orders placed by your customers.
With the button Add order (6) you can call up the module for creating an order. More information about creating an order can be found here.
In the overview, you have the option to hide/show individual columns (4) using the drop down menu (2) or to use a compact mode (3), which summarizes the displayed table a bit more.
You can also manually define the sorting of the individual columns (5) to adjust them according to your wishes.
To the right of the overview, you will find tools (7) to update the displayed orders or to filter them further and thus narrow them down more precisely. 

Filters

If you click on the Filter Button, the following list of options appears.

You can combine options within the filter to reduce the list of results. The filter-options add up, so every additional entry reduces the list.

Order details

The order details can be opened by clicking on the order number (1) or the item View and deleted (3) within the context menu (2) of the order.
Here, you can view the selected order in detail and manage the items and the accounting or delete the order. 
However, once an invoice has been created, the option Delete can no longer be selected.

General

In the General tab, you will find the most important information and the order items.

Info

In the info area, you will find the most important information about the order as well as the current payment, delivery and order status. 
You can cancel the respective order there if necessary.

Summary (1): Here, you can see a summary of the order number, the customer, the exact order time and the selected payment and delivery method. 
Order total (2): Here you can see the current order total and when it was last changed.  
Status (3): Here, you can view and change the status of the payment, delivery and order.
Tags (4): The tags allow you to store keywords for your product. These keywords can then be used within the rules, for example. If you click in the field, the keywords already stored for other products, media or customers will be displayed. To add a new word, you can simply write it in the field and confirm with Enter.

Status

If you change a status via the respective drop-down menu, a modal opens which you can use to send an email to the customer about the new status.
You can also attach documents already generated for the order (e.g. delivery bill or invoice) to the email.

You can select the documents to be sent from the list (1). If you do not want to send an email, set the Send email to customer (2) switch to inactive before updating the status (3).
 

The email is filled with a template of the corresponding type.
If no corresponding template has yet been assigned to the sales channel in which the order was placed, you will first receive a selection window in which you can then assign the template.

An X means that the receipt has not yet been sent. With a √, the receipt has already been sent.

In the overview, you can select from existing templates (1). If no or no suitable template is available, you can directly open the editor to create a template (2). You can confirm your selection by clicking the Assign email template button (3), after which the new status is set.
If you want to change the status without assigning an email template, you can do this by clicking the Don´t assign an email template button (4).

In Flowbuilder, you can specify which email template is to be used for which status. You can find out how to use the Flowbuilder here.

 

Cancelation

As mentioned above, you can cancel an order via the order status.  

This is done by setting the order status to “Canceled”. You can also set the delivery status and the payment status to “Canceled”, but only setting the order status will reset the stock level and thus effectively cancel the order.

 

Items

Here you have the possibility to see the individual items of this order, as well as the calculation of the sum of the items.
You can also add new products as positions, edit existing ones or remove them. The price, the quantity and the tax rate can be customized.

Delete (1): To remove items, select on the left-hand side. A Delete button will then appear above the table to remove the selected items. 
Add product (2): Here, you have the option of adding an existing product via a drop-down menu. 
Add empty item (3): Here, you can add an item. Instead of the drop-down menu, you can enter a name for the item yourself and then enter your own price and tax rate. 
Add credit note (4): Here, you also add an empty item and give it a name yourself. However, you enter a negative amount as the gross price. The tax rate is initially automatically based on the tax rates that already exist in the order. If there are products with different tax rates in the order, auto is entered here and the tax rate is taken from the product that was added first. 
Show product (5): This takes you to the configuration page of the respective product.

Depending on your configurations, the items in the order can also have different taxes and are calculated here individually to form a total price.
This allows you to offer mixed baskets for your customers.

Documents

The document templates are managed within the document module, in your settings.

After you have clicked on Create New you can select which type of document you want to create for this order. To create the document you have to make the following settings:

Number and date (1): Enter here the number of the document and the date, which should be entered on the document. This information is necessary if you create the documents with Shopware. By default, the next number from the respective number range is selected as the number.
Upload custom document (2): If you don't want to create the documents like invoices or delivery bills with Shopware but the documents are already available as PDF, activate this option. In a further step you have the possibility to upload this PDF. In this case, the input number and date will not be reproduced on the document.
Comment (3): The comment is noted in the standard at the bottom of the document. 
Preview (4): With this button you can see in the browser how the document created by Shopware would look like. Own documents are not considered here.

Bulk edit

 

Bulk edit offers you an easy and quick way to change multiple orders at the same time.

You can select individual orders (1) or all orders that are displayed on this page (2), you have the option to select orders on multiple pages. The maximum orders that can be selected at once are 1000. The number of currently selected orders (3) is displayed in above the orders. The option to deselect all orders (4) is only shown if you have selected products from multiple pages. To edit the selected orders click bulk edit (5).

After clicking bulk edit, a modal will popup will show you the orders you have selected.

In this overview, you have the option to remove orders from your current selection. Once you are satisfied with your selection click start bulk edit.

Status

If this option is deactivated, no more emails will be sent. This is relevant if you have defined a flow that sends emails and is triggered, for example, by the bulk edit of a status. In general: If the option is deactivated, no more emails will be sent via the flow, even if it can still be executed.

(5) Send: Documents: This option is available as soon as the previous option (4) is activated.
Here you can now select whether the customer should also receive a document in addition to the status e-mail. If documents already exist, they are automatically sent to the customer as an attachment in the status e-mail. However, it is important that only the most recent receipt is used. So, if you create a receipt by changing the Merfach, this is the one that will be sent. Regardless of whether there is already another receipt.
You can use the checkbox "Skip already sent documents" to prevent the customer from receiving a duplicate document.

Please note that you can only change the order status to a status that is valid for all selected orders.
e.g. An order with the status open can be changed to in progress and cancelled, an order with the status in progress can be changed to done and cancelled. If you select an open and in progress order you can only change these to cancelled since this is the only status that is valid for both orders.

In addition, the value of the corresponding number range is increased when the invoice is created. This happens automatically, so you do not have to make any further entries here.

In the case of a cancellation invoice, the value of the corresponding number range is also automatically increased. Here, too, you do not have to enter a manual invoice number because the last reference invoice number is always used.

A popup will show you the number of items that are about to be changed, confirm this by clicking apply changes.

Trigger Flows with this bulk edit
If you send status emails with your multiple changes, it can happen that all triggers created in the Flow Builder are executed for all changes of this multiple change. Under certain circumstances, this can lead to flows being executed twice.  You can prevent this with the Trigger Flows option (1).
