In some cases, you may need to specify additional information for a particular order line, by accessing the Order Lines form. This section describes how to open the Order Lines form and the type of information it stores.
The tabs that appear on the Order Lines form varies depending on the order line's product type. For example, the Order Lines form for a Meetings product includes a Meetings tab that is not available for a general product. This section describes the Order Lines form characteristics that are applicable to all products. For information on the Order Lines for a specific product type, refer to that type's user documentation, as described in "Ordering Other Types of Products" on page 111. |
Follow these steps to open and edit the Order Lines form:
- Double-click within a field of the order line that does not allow typing to open the Order Lines form.

- Modify the order line's Quantity, Price, and Discount percentage, as needed.
- Modify the Inventory Location from which the product will be shipped, if necessary.
- If an organization is tracking inventory for the selected product, Aptify automatically identifies an inventory location from which inventory will be shipped for the product.
- The system first tries to use the product's Default Inventory Location, as specified on the product's Inventory > General tab. If that location does not have enough inventory for the order line's quantity, the system attempt to identify another location that allows direct fulfillment and has sufficient inventory on hand to fill the order.
- If modifying the Inventory Location, enter only a location that allows direct -fulfillment and that has sufficient inventory available to accommodate the order line's quantity. You will be unable to ship the order line if these requirements are not met.
- To specify a marketing campaign at the order line level, enter the campaign in the Campaign Code field.
- When you enter a campaign at the order line level and tab out of the Campaign Code field, the system automatically updates the Discount field with any applicable discount percentage.
- See the Applying a Campaign to an Order section in the "Campaigns and Orders" chapter of the Aptify Campaign Management Guide for more information.
By default, the product's description appears in the order line's Description field. You can modify this description as necessary.
The Not Returned To Stock check box is only applicable for cancellation order lines. The Chapter field is applicable only when the system has Aptify's Chapter Management add-on module installed
- If this order line is being shipped to a location that is different from the Ship To address specified on the main order, click the Ship To tab and enter the shipment information.
