Send orders automatically or after review
Choose for each supplier whether Dropday sends its orders as soon as they come in, or holds them until you approve them.
Decide how each supplier gets its orders
Automatically: when an order comes in, Dropday sends the supplier the order lines assigned to it without waiting for you, through each of its active delivery methods. This is what happens unless you turn on Hold order for review.
After review: with Hold order for review on, Dropday holds the supplier's order lines instead of sending them. Nothing reaches the supplier until you approve.
The setting is per supplier. When an order has lines for several suppliers, the lines for suppliers that don't hold orders are sent, and only the lines for a supplier that holds orders wait for you.
Either way, a supplier only receives the order lines that your rules assign to it, and a supplier without an active delivery method receives nothing.
Turn review on or off for a supplier
When you add a supplier under Suppliers, turn on Hold order for review before you save.
To change it for a supplier you already added:
In the sidebar, click Suppliers.
Click View on the supplier.
Check or uncheck Hold order for review, then click Save.
What happens when you turn review on or off
When you turn it on: Dropday holds this supplier's order lines instead of sending them. They wait with the status Pending for review until you approve or decline the order.
When you turn it off: order lines that are already held aren't sent. They stay Pending for review until you open the order and click Approve order, or decline it.
Orders that come in after that are no longer held: Dropday sends this supplier its order lines through each of its active delivery methods, like any supplier that doesn't hold orders.
Approve or decline held orders
You approve or decline held orders from the order screen. Approving sends the held order lines through the supplier's delivery methods; declining sends nothing to the supplier.
Sending at a set time
Dropday can't collect a supplier's orders and send them at a fixed time or interval. If you want to choose when orders go out, hold them for review and approve them when it suits you, for example a few times a day. Each approved order is still sent to the supplier separately, not combined with other orders into one file.
Next, create a rule that assigns order lines to this supplier.
