The 'Line Items' Tab - Viewing Ordered Items

To view the details of an order, double-click on it in the order summary (or highlight it and press 'View Order').

The 'Line Items' tab is used to view and edit the items that have been ordered. The summary in this tab shows you the order lines with the prices, together with the number of each line that is shipped, cancelled or back ordered. The order lines in the summary can fall into one of three categories:

·      Standard Items - These are products that have been ordered online. They will appear at the top of the list.

·      Online Order Adjustments - These are any discounts that the customer has qualified for whilst shopping. For more details on discounts, see An Introduction To Discounts.

·      Offline Order Adjustments - These are any changes that have made to the order after it has been downloaded. This could be an adjustment or a new order line. For more details on editing order lines, see Editing The Content Of An Order.

The buttons along the bottom of the 'Line Items' tab are as follows:
