Overview
Nory allows you to create supplier orders from a single ordering workspace. You can browse items across suppliers, compare prices, build orders, save drafts, and send orders directly to your suppliers.
This guide walks you through the ordering process from start to finish.
Create an Order
To start placing an order:
1. Navigate to Purchases
2. Place an order
3. Select Create Order.
You'll be taken to the ordering workspace, where you can browse products and build orders for one or multiple suppliers.
Find and Add Items
The ordering workspace displays all available items across your suppliers in a single view.
You can:
Search for specific products
2. Browse items by category
3. Compare the same item across different suppliers
4. View item pricing before adding products to your order
This makes it easier to find the products you need and choose the supplier that offers the best value.
Add Items to Your Order
Enter the quantity required for each item you want to purchase.
As you build your order, items are automatically grouped by supplier, allowing you to place orders with multiple suppliers at the same time.
Review Your Orders
Once you've added all required items, select Review Orders.
The review screen allows you to:
- See orders grouped by supplier.
- Review quantities before sending.
- View supplier notes.
- Confirm delivery dates.
- Make final adjustments to your order.
Reviewing your orders helps ensure all details are correct before submission.
Update Delivery Dates
Each supplier order includes a delivery date.
If required, you can adjust the delivery date during the review process before sending the order.
Save an Order as a Draft
If you're not ready to send an order, you can save your progress as a draft.
Drafts are useful when:
- You're still confirming quantities.
- You're waiting for inventory counts.
- Multiple team members contribute to ordering.
- You want to complete the order later.
To save a draft:
1. Select Save Draft.
2. Exit the ordering workflow if needed.
Please note that drafts aren’t automatically saved.
Continue Editing a Draft
To reopen a saved draft:
1. Navigate to Draft Orders.
2. Select the draft you want to continue working on.
3. Choose Edit.
You can:
- Add additional items.
- Update quantities.
- Remove products.
- Continue ordering from other suppliers.
Once your changes are complete, return to the review screen.
Send Orders
When you're ready to place your orders:
1. Open Review Orders.
2. Confirm all order details.
3. Select Send Orders.
Nory will send each supplier order separately while keeping them organized within a single ordering workflow.
After submission, the orders will appear in your Orders section where you can track and manage them.
Tips for Efficient Ordering
- Use search to quickly find products across suppliers.
- Compare supplier pricing before adding items to your order.
- Review delivery dates before sending orders.
- Save drafts when you're not ready to submit.
- Use categories to speed up product selection.
By combining all suppliers into a single ordering workspace, Nory helps you create, review, and send orders more efficiently.
FAQ
