See Order Entry for additional required system control values and other settings. The Create Registry Order option is also not available if you currently have order entry open in another tab, regardless of whether the order is for the currently displayed customer.

When would you create a registry order? You might create a registry order if:

  • A customer wants to purchase items on their own wish list. For example, a customer might create a wish list for items needed for the first semester at college.

  • A customer wants to purchase items remaining on a registry after the event occurs. For example, after a baby shower, the customer might want to purchase additional remaining items that were not given as gifts at the shower.

Sort Listed Items

You can sort on any column in the Items 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.

Filter Displayed Items

The page provides an entry field below the Items panel with the message Filter results. You can further refine the orders displayed in the Items Table by entering one or more search terms found in any of the fields displayed in that table.

Example: Enter PEN. The displayed results include order lines for items whose descriptions include “pen,” as well as any items that include “pen” in the item code. Next, enter held. Displayed results are now further restricted to order lines that are in Held status, provided the order lines also include “pen.”

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 order lines displayed on the first page of results. For example, if the only order line matching your entry is on the third page of results, this order line is displayed.

Additional information on filtering:

  • Only fields displayed at the Items Table are available for filtering. For example, you can filter based on the order line status, unit price, or purchase status, because this information displayed, but you cannot filter based an order total or special handling instructions.
  • Filtering is not case-sensitive. For example, you can enter closed or CLOSED to display closed order lines.
  • To filter based on order date, include the date delimiters. For example, enter 8/27 rather than 827 to filter for an order date of August 27.
  • You can filter based on numeric fields to display partial matches. For example, if the unit price is 11.95, you can enter 11 or 95 to include the order in the search results.

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