Order symbols

What do the order symbols mean?

Using inFlow, you may notice symbols next to products on orders. Please take a look below to see what they mean.

Web

Red exclamation

If you see a red exclamation mark, you do not have enough stock in the specified location to fulfill this current order.

Yellow exclamation

If you see a yellow exclamation mark, you have enough stock for this order only but not enough for any other open orders for this item. It’s a good idea to reorder if you see this icon.

Clock symbol

If you see a clock symbol on the order screen, that means that you’ve already ordered this item from your vendor and you’re just waiting to receive/complete the order, so you’ll have enough stock. You should not need to reorder again if you see this icon (otherwise, you’ll end up with double the amount).

Arrow/save symbol

If you see an arrow symbol, it means a change was made to an order. Clicking on this symbol allows you to save the changes back to the original record.

Example:

  • The product ¾” Gates Valve – Brass has a unit price of $15.
  • On sales order SO-000013, the unit price was changed from $15 to $17.
  • After the price change, the save-back icon will be available on the sales order.
  • If you select the save back symbol, inFlow will update the unit price on the product record for ¾” Gates Valve to $17.
  • If you don’t select the save back symbol, the unit price on the product record will remain $15, and the price on sales order SO-000013 will be $17.

Manufacture order statuses (Web)

On a manufacture order (MO), there are a few different statuses next to assemblies. Take a look below to learn about the different statues and the bullet points that explain why you’d see them on the MO.

Please note: Manufacture orders are only available on inFlow plans with the BOM + Manufacturing add-on

Blocked

  • This is shown at the top-level subassemblies when there aren’t enough raw materials in stock.

Start

  • Subassemblies are ready to build. 
  • Prior subassemblies have been made, and they’re ready to be used in the next assembly. 
  • Raw materials/components are in stock and ready for picking and assembly.

Continue

  • For assemblies in progress. 
  • Some of the raw materials have been picked.
  • The assembly process has started but hasn’t been marked as done.

Assemble

  • Subassemblies will have this status when there aren’t any raw materials left to pick. 
  • This stage means you have everything ready to start building.

Done

  • When all raw materials have been picked, operations and subassemblies are completed. 

Not enough

  • This status is for raw materials that aren’t in stock. 
  • Click on Not enough to reorder stock. 

Low stock

  • This is shown for products that are on multiple orders, but there isn’t enough stock to complete/fulfill them all.    
  • Click on Low stock to reorder. 

Waiting 

  • This status is for products you don’t have in stock but are waiting on an incoming order.
  • Products can be reordered from a purchase order, stock transfer, or manufacture order. 

Windows

Red exclamation

If you see a red exclamation mark, it means you do not have enough stock in the specified location to fulfill this current order.

Yellow exclamation

If you see a yellow exclamation mark, it means that you do have enough stock for this order only but not enough for any other open orders for this item. It’s a good idea to reorder if you see this icon.

Clock symbol

If you see a clock symbol on the order screen, that means that you’ve already ordered this item from your vendor and you’re just waiting to receive/complete the order, so you’ll have enough stock. You should not need to reorder again if you see this icon (otherwise, you’ll end up with double the amount).

Arrow/save symbol

If you see a black save symbol, it means a change was made to an order. Clicking on this symbol allows you to save the changes back to the original record.

Example:

  • The product ¾” Gates Valve – Brass has a unit price of $15.
  • On sales order SO-000013, the unit price was changed from $15 to $17.
  • After the price change, the save-back icon will be available on the sales order.
  • If you select the save back symbol, inFlow will update the unit price on the product record for ¾” Gates Valve to $17.
  • If you don’t select the save back symbol, the unit price on the product record will remain $15, and the price on sales order SO-000013 will be $17.
