         Fields on Order Activity for a description of the fields on the Order Activity page.

Sort the Order Activity

You can sort on any column in the Order Activity table by clicking on the column name. An arrow pointing up displays next to the field when the values for the field display in ascending sequence; an arrow pointing down displays next to the field when the values for the field display in descending sequence.

Order activity first displays on this page in descending activity date and time sequence.

Filter the Order Activity

The Order Activity page displays the first 15 order activity records for the order.

The page provides an entry field below the Order Activity panel with the message Type to filter. You can further refine the activities displayed in the Order Activity Table by entering one or more search terms found in any of the fields displayed in that table.

Example:                    Enter pick. The displayed activities include Pick Slip Generated as well as those with descriptions that include the word "pick" Next, enter a pick control number. Displayed results are now further restricted to activities that include both “pick” and the entered pick control number in any of the fields displayed in the Order Activity Table.

Matching records need to contain the search term, but do not need to start with the search term. For example, both 123.45 and 23.45 are matches for a search term of 23.

Filtering is across all results: The filtering is not restricted to the activities displayed on the first page of results. For example, if the only activity matching your entry is on the third page of results, this activity is displayed.

Additional information on filtering: 

         Only fields displayed at the Order Activity Table are available for filtering. For example, you can filter based on the description of an activity that took place for an order line, because the activity is displayed, but you cannot filter based on the item number.

         Filtering is not case-sensitive. For example, you can enter shipment or SHIPMENT to display shipments for the order.

         To filter based on activity date, include the date delimiters. For example, enter 8/27 rather than 827 to filter for an activity that took place on August 27.

         You can filter based on numeric fields to display partial matches. For example, if the pick control number includes 123, all activities that include 123 are included in the search results.

Removing a search term: Optionally, click the X next to a search term to remove it from the filter criteria.
