Create an order

Manage all Creatio orders in the Orders section, from registration to successful delivery. You can add installment plans, product lists, discounts and other data to your orders.

The section includes multiple quick filters.

• By order issue date (the Date field). Displays orders created within the specified period. To view the orders created on a specific day, set the day as both the start and end date.

• By status (the Status field). Displays orders that have the specified status.

• By owner (the Owner field). Displays orders whose owner is the specified contact.

Create an order from the Orders section

1. Open the Orders section.

2. Click New. This opens the order page.

3. Specify the order recipient in the Contact and Account fields.

   1. Click to open the product selection page.

   2. Click New at the bottom of the list.

      If necessary, add a discount on specific products in the Discount,% field. Learn more in the “Add products to an invoice or an order” article.

      As a result, the total cost of the order will be calculated in the Total, $ label.

6. Add an order installment plan on the Payment & delivery tab. Learn more: Add an order installment plan.

You can submit orders for approval to other Creatio users, for example, managers, using out-of-the-box approval function. Approvals are available for orders on Confirmation and In progress stages. To do this use the Send for approval button on the order page. The action opens an additional page where you set approval parameters.  Learn more: Approvals.
