Table · reads order
Orders
Purchases and fulfillment.
Rows and columns, sortable and filterable.
What it does
Behaviours, not fields. Choosing between two modules is choosing between these.
The fulfilment state is the working column. Sorting by it is how the morning starts, which a list of what was sold cannot support.
Payment pending is a state rather than an absence, so an unpaid order is visible instead of quietly sitting in the queue.
Recording an order decrements Inventory where it exists, so the two never need reconciling.
Answers "where is my order" from the row, and hands off to Deliveries once there is a tracking reference.
How it works
- 1
An order is recorded from a conversation, a form or a shop.
- 2
The state drives the day — sorting by it is how packing starts.
- 3
Recording an order decrements Inventory where it exists.
- 4
A tracking reference moves it to Deliveries without re-entering anything.
Best for
Comparing many records across many fields.
Not the right choice for
A phone. A table is the first thing that stops working narrow.
What a row holds
Every field, and what the agent listens for to fill it — which is the difference between a page you type into and one that fills itself.
| Field | Type | Filled from |
|---|---|---|
| Orderrequired | text | The order number, generated if not given. |
| Customerrequired | text | Who bought, matched against Contacts or Companies. |
| Itemsrequired | text | What was bought and how many, as the customer described it. |
| Totalrequired | money | What the order comes to, summed from the catalogue or stated outright. |
| Staterequired | text | Where fulfilment has got to. The working column, and how the morning is sorted. |
What it does not do
A module chosen for something it cannot do costs more than one that was never offered.
- No payment processing. Payment state is recorded, not taken.
- No partial fulfilment — an order half-shipped needs splitting.
- No returns or refunds workflow.
- Item detail is text, so nothing reconciles line items against stock automatically.
Before it works
What you have to provide, if anything.
- Nothing.
- Pair with Inventory and Deliveries, which are the two ends this sits between.
In practice
A maker shipping two or three orders a day, mostly agreed in messages.
“Bellevue want twelve of the 250g Guji, invoice them as usual.”
What the agent built
An order at 168 euros against the café, state To pack, payment marked invoiced rather than pending — the terms were already known from Companies.
What changed
The packing list became a filter rather than a memory. Two orders that had been unpaid for three weeks surfaced the first time it was sorted by state.
Better with
These do a different job on the same data. An agent can have all of them.
Stock runs out, reordering takes time, and selling something you do not have is a real cost.
Goods travel to customers and "where is my order" is a question the agent should answer without a person.
The agent bills clients or is billed by suppliers, and someone needs to see what is unpaid without opening the accounting tool.

Takes custom orders properly — date, size, colours, message — without a queue forming.
Questions
What data does the Orders page use?
It reads order records the agent has collected. Purchases and fulfillment. Nothing has to be imported first — the page appears once there is something to show.
Do I have to build or configure it?
No. You describe what you need in a sentence and the agent chooses the view and fills it. Custom pages exist for the cases no built-in view covers, and those are reviewed before they go live.
When is a table the wrong choice?
A phone. A table is the first thing that stops working narrow. It is best for: comparing many records across many fields.
Does it stay up to date?
Yes. The page is a view over the data rather than a copy of it, so anything the agent learns afterwards shows up without a rebuild or a re-import.
