Orders & Transfers

The Orders and Transfers page (Orders & Returns > Orders & Transfers link in the menu) is the in-process queue for orders and transfers. Authorized users can view a list of all orders and transfers (inbound and outbound) that are currently in a processing stage, as well as create a new order or transfer. To sort orders/transfers based on a column header (i.e., order/transfer number, date, or status), click the column header.

To search for a specific order or transfer, first click on the correct tab (see below), then enter at least a few numbers (for the order number or order date) or characters (for sender or status, for example) into the Order Search field. The list narrows as text is entered into the search field. To return to the full list, delete the text in the search field.

View an Order/Transfer

To view an order or transfer, search for the organization/facility in the search bar first, if necessary, then click the Orders & Returns > Orders & Transfers link in the menu. The Orders and Transfers page opens.

If the item is an inbound order or transfer, click the Inbound Orders & Transfers tab (if necessary; it is the default tab when the page first opens). If the item is an outbound transfer or return, click the Outbound Transfers tab. Locate the order, transfer, or return number in the list. If necessary, you can use the browser's page search feature or sort the Number column by clicking on the column header to locate the item in the list more easily. You can also search for an order or transfer by entering a few characters of the order/transfer number (or keyword, such as "back" for "backordered") in the Search field on the page (where it says Order Search). The list narrows as you enter text. To view the entire list again, delete the text from the Search field.

Once the item has been located in the list, click the View button (View button). If the order has not yet been submitted, click the Continue button (Continue button).

The page that opens depends on whether the item is inbound or outbound, an order or a transfer. Example pages are:

The order/transfer number, organization/facility, order/transfer date, and status appear at the top of the page. If the item is an order, the organization/facility details, shipping information, and vaccine order details also appear on the page.
