Supplier orders list

Learn how to list, search and manage the orders you have placed with suppliers, and how to close and fulfill them in Logzi.

Feature overview

This page is the list of Supplier orders: here you see all the orders you have placed with your suppliers. A supplier order records what you order from a supplier; procurement starts here: closing the order, handing it over to the supplier, fulfilling it, and then recording the receipt of goods with a warehouse receipt or an incoming delivery note. This guide shows you how to search among the orders, how to manage them, and how to carry them on into the next document.

  • Search and filtering: you can filter the orders by partner, document number, confirmation number, currency, status, date, employee, item number, project, job number and department number; you can also save the search.
  • Life cycle: on the Actions tab you can close the selected order, mark it as fulfilled, delete it or copy it.
  • Carrying on: from a closed order you can start a warehouse receipt, an incoming invoice, an incoming delivery note, a worksheet or a delivery note with the Document management menu.
  • Handing over to the supplier: with the Issue for fulfillment menu you can send the order to the supplier Logzi system, or hand it over to a fulfillment provider.
  • Confirmation: on the Additional functions tab you can record the date of the supplier confirmation.
  • Preview window: the items of the selected order are shown right below the list, without opening the order.

The Status filter offers nine statuses: Draft, Closed, Cancellation, Cancelled, Fulfilled, Finalized, Approved, Partially fulfilled and Ready to ship. A new order always starts as Draft, and on this page it moves along the Draft – Closed – Fulfilled path with the Close and Fulfilled buttons. The restrictions that belong to the statuses are described in the Frequently asked questions section.

Step by step

1. Opening the list and the Actions tab

Click Main menu / Procurement / Supplier orders / List to open the list of orders. At the top of the page you find the Actions, Search, View and layout and Additional functions tabs, and on the right the Analytics link and an icon for copying the table to the clipboard. Below the list the Preview window of the selected order is shown. The screenshots in this guide are taken from the Hungarian user interface; the Hungarian label is given in parentheses in the captions.

The buttons of the Actions tab apply to the order you selected by clicking a row of the list:

  • New: starts a new supplier order; in the dropdown menu of the button, besides New you also find New based on PDF. Filling in the order is described in the Supplier order document guide.
  • Open: opens the selected order for editing or viewing.
  • Close: closes a Draft order. In the dropdown menu, Close and print or Close and download also produces the printout right after closing.
  • Delete: deletes the order; the Delete and copy option of the dropdown menu also creates a copy next to the deletion, while Permanent deletion removes the order permanently.
  • Cloning: starts a new order based on the selected one; it is available for an order in any status.
  • History: shows the history related to the selected order.
  • Fulfilled: marks a closed order as fulfilled (see the next step).
  • Send email: lets you send the order by email.
  • Download: in the List operation group the whole list can be downloaded (XLSX list, XLSX item list, XLSX item list grouped), in the Document operation group the selected order (XLSX items, XLSX items grouped, PDF, PDF preview, Download attachments, PDF items grouped).
  • Print: Document prints the order, Product label prints the labels of the items.
  • Document management: creates a new, related document from the order (see step 3).
  • Issue for fulfillment: hands the order over to the supplier (see step 4).
  • Transport organization: New parcel label creates a new parcel label, Parcel labels opens the list of the labels already recorded.

2. Closing, fulfilling and deleting

Select an order in the list, then use the buttons of the Actions tab:

  • Close: active only for a Draft order. After closing, the order becomes Closed. If a Logzi application ID (APP ID) is available for the partner of the order, the system asks in a pop-up whether it should send the automatic order to the supplier (see step 4); if you choose No, the list is reloaded after the closing.
  • Fulfilled: available for a Closed or higher status. After confirmation (the question Biztosan teljesíteni szeretné a bizonylatot?, meaning Are you sure you want to fulfill the document?, is shown in Hungarian in every language) the order and all its items become Fulfilled, the fulfilled quantity equals the ordered quantity, the system processes the fulfillment, and an automatic note is added to the order.
  • Delete: possible for an order in Draft, Closed, Fulfilled, Finalized, Approved or Partially fulfilled status.

Between Close and Fulfilled therefore come the documents that record the receipt (warehouse receipt, incoming delivery note): mark the order as fulfilled when the supplier has delivered the whole order.

3. Creating a new document from the order

With the Document management menu you can start a new, related document from the selected order that is closed (or in a higher status). The items of the menu: Warehouse receipt, Incoming invoices, Incoming delivery note, Worksheets, Delivery note, and Cloning. The selected item opens a new, prefilled document; nothing is created until you save it.

4. Handing over to the supplier

The Issue for fulfillment menu has two items, both available for a closed (or higher status) order:

  • Transfer between Logzi systems: if your supplier is also a Logzi user and an APP ID belongs to the partner, the order can be sent to the supplier Logzi system, where it appears as a customer order. The system matches the products by item number; if an item number is not found at the supplier, you get an error message. The same question appears when you close an order: Igen (Yes) sends the order, Igen, lezárással (Yes, with closing) sends it and also closes it on the receiving side, Nem (No) sends nothing. The label Igen, lezárással is shown in Hungarian in every language.
  • Fulfillment handover: opens a window where you confirm by saving that the order is handed over to a fulfillment provider.

5. Search and filtering

On the Search tab, fill in the filter fields and refresh the list with the Search button. The Expand button opens further filter fields. Next to the search there are two icons: the save icon saves the current search (after that the list is always loaded according to the saved filter), and the delete icon deletes the saved search and restores the full list. The filters are described in the Field descriptions section.

The labels Oszlopok and Sorok are shown in Hungarian in every language. These settings are saved for your user.

7. Preview window and Additional functions

The Preview window below the list shows the Items tab of the selected order (depending on the settings, the Related documents, Location codes and List of serial numbers tabs may also appear); with the pin icon you can pin or release the height of the panel. On the Additional functions tab you find the following:

  • Sent items: viewing the emails sent for the order.
  • New email: opens the External mail client or the Internal mail client for a new email.
  • New task: creates a task for the order.
  • Partner card: the data sheet of the partner of the order.
  • Confirmation: opens a window with a single date field in which you can enter the date of the supplier confirmation. Save records the date on all items of the order and also sets the Performance date of the order to it; Close closes the window without saving. The label of the field in the interface is Payment status date. It is available for an order in Closed or a higher status.

Tip


If you regularly look at the same orders (for example only the Draft ones), set the filters and save the search with the save icon: the list will then always load with this filter. The Expand button hides the less frequently used filters.

To create a new supplier order and edit its items, see the Supplier order document guide. You can record the arriving goods following the Warehouse receipt document or the Incoming delivery note document guide.

Frequently asked questions

Close is available only for a Draft order. If no order is selected, or the selected order is already closed, the button cannot be used.

Delete is possible for an order in Draft, Closed, Fulfilled, Finalized, Approved and Partially fulfilled status. For Cancellation, Cancelled and Ready to ship the deletion is not allowed. If you find an incorrect piece of data on a closed order, you can delete and recreate it in one step with the Delete and copy option.

These functions are available only for an order in Closed or a higher status, so they are gray for a Draft order. The same applies to Send email, PDF, PDF items grouped and Confirmation. Close the order with the Close button and they become available. PDF preview and the XLSX downloads can be used even for a saved Draft order.

After you accept the confirmation question, the order and all its items become Fulfilled, and the system regards the whole ordered quantity as fulfilled for every item. Use it only if the supplier has delivered the whole order; to record the receipt, use the Warehouse receipt or Incoming delivery note item of the Document management menu.

If an APP ID is available for the partner of the order, that is, your supplier also uses a Logzi system, the system asks at closing whether it should send the automatic order. Igen (Yes) creates a customer order in the supplier system by matching the products by item number (if an item number is missing at the supplier, you get an error message); Igen, lezárással (Yes, with closing) also closes it on the receiving side; Nem (No) sends nothing. The same transfer can be started later with the Transfer between Logzi systems item of the Issue for fulfillment menu.

The Confirmation button of the Additional functions tab records the date that the supplier gave as the confirmation of the order. In the window that opens you choose a single date (the label of the field in the interface is Payment status date), and Save carries it over to the items of the order and to the Performance date of the order as well. You can search for a recorded confirmation with the Confirmation number filter of the list.

Select the closed order, then in the Document management menu choose Warehouse receipt or Incoming delivery note; the system opens a prefilled new document. You can read about editing the warehouse receipt in the Warehouse receipt document guide, and about the incoming delivery note in the Incoming delivery note document guide.

Click the New button on the Actions tab, or choose the Main menu / Procurement / Supplier orders / New menu item. Filling in the order is described in the Supplier order document guide. You can also start a new one based on an existing order with the Cloning button.

It may be that no supplier order has been recorded yet; in that case you can add one with the New button. It is also possible that the active filter or a previously saved search returns no results: change the filters, or delete the saved search with the delete icon so that the full list is loaded. If the list has several pages, also check the first page.

The module appears in the menu only if it is assigned to your user. If it is missing, ask the system administrator of your company to check the module assignment of your user.
