CStoreOffice® Support & Learning

Merchandise Orders Dashboard

CStoreOffice® offers the Merchandise Orders dashboard — a convenient tool that can help you streamline and speed up the process of merchandise ordering. With the dashboard, you can get all required information about upcoming merchandise events in a convenient way, manage and generate new orders through a single interface. As a result, you can place new orders more quickly and save time and effort for other retail activities.

If you want to order items using the Merchandise Orders report, go to Reports > Store > Merchandise > Deliveries and Invoices > Merchandise Orders.

To access the Merchandise Orders dashboard:

  1. From the CStoreOffice® home page, go to InventoryOrders > Merchandise.
  2. In the left pane, select Merchandise Orders.

The dashboard provides data for a specific location. To display data for another location, at the top right corner of the CStoreOffice® window, select the necessary location from the locations list.

This feature is permission-based. You can access and work with the Merchandise Orders dashboard if the Dashboard > Dashboards/Merchandise Ordering component is enabled for the account. For details, see Granting Role Permissions to Roles and Users.
