NuORDER’s Bulk Order feature allows you to use a single order to place separate orders against multiple doors. Bulk Orders can also be used as a way to indicate interest, if a brand chooses to make specifying sizes optional.
- Activate bulk orders on companies
- Require sizes on bulk orders
- Prevent entering quantities by location
Note: Sizing View (beta) supports bulk orders, and can be used by buyers when managing the product quantities and deliveries in their order. See how to place a bulk order with Ship to multiple doors with bulk ordering.
Activate bulk orders on companies
To get started, check if a company has multi-doors by navigating to Contacts, selecting a company, and then scrolling to the bottom of the screen to see if there’s multiple Billing & Shipping Addresses. Click Add Address to add more.
Next, you can enable the Allow Bulk Orders setting on companies with multi-doors in a couple of ways (for many companies or for one company).
Activate many companies
If you want to update many companies with multi-doors, then consider using our NuORDER API. The API attribute is allow_bulk and the accepted values are True, False.
Activate one company
To activate Bulk Orders on one company at a time, navigate to Contacts, select a company, and click Edit Company from the upper-right corner. Toggle Allow Bulk Orders to Yes and Save.
Note: If you don’t see the Allow Bulk Orders option on companies, contact our Support team.
Require sizes on bulk orders
When placing a Bulk Order, specifying sizes is optional. If your brand works with an ERP that requires sizes, you can choose to hide the Bulk Units field to ensure you have all of the necessary details on orders. To hide the Bulk Units field, brands can contact our Support team.
Prevent entering quantities by location
You can configure an Order Type to prevent the ability to specify the number of units per location on the Working Order.
If that configured Order Type is selected in the Order Details tab, then shipping address(es) can’t be specified and any entered order quantities are locked to All Locations Combined. A Bulk Units value can be entered and the Size & Quantities table is locked to only All Locations Combined.
Note: Start Order, Sizing View, and Order exports honor the selected Order Type. They match the Order Type's configuration for By Location or All Locations Combined.
Contact our Support team to enable this feature and specify an Order Type that should prevent entering quantities by location (examples: Order, Contract, etc. ).
