Use order queues to replace the phone calls, faxes, and guesswork that accompany order processing. Every piece of information you need to move a transaction through the order process can be controlled and recorded within the Order Queue.
- Order Queues are used to capture and manage orders based on specific criteria. Order Queues ONLY display Orders, not invoices. Adding an Order Queue allows you to specify managers and rules for the Queue.
- Enter the basic order queue information
- Open the Order Queue Add screen. Go to Administration > Sales > Order Queues > Add Order Queue
-
Queue Name - Enter a name for the queue. For example, New Sales Orders, Orders to be Rescheduled, or Warehouse Orders.

Manager - Select the manager(s) for the queue. Managers are the only users allowed to remove orders from the queue. Managers can also see the new queue listed in My Queues in the toolbar at the top of the screen.

Open the Rules tab and select which orders appear in the queue. If you do not select any rules, users can add orders to the queue as needed.
