The Order Summary screen provides a complete overview of an order. From this page, you can make edits, generate supplier purchase orders, and invoice your end customers. This guide explains each section of the Order Summary and how it functions.
Customer Order (Blue Band)
The first section, highlighted with a blue-colored band, represents the customer order.
This section is customer-facing and includes:
- Retail pricing
- Applicable taxes
- Order details that the downstream sections are based on
Once a purchase order (PO) or invoice has been generated, each subsequent section becomes independent of the customer order.
Customer Invoice (Blue Band)
The next section also features a blue band and represents the customer invoice.
This section is also available to the customer and allows you to:
- Invoice your customer
- Apply payments
- Include a payment link (available if your DistributorCentral account has a connected payment processor)
Supplier Purchase Order (Tan Band)
The PO section, highlighted with a tan-colored band, represents documents intended only for suppliers.
This section should not be shared with end users.
The supplier PO includes:
- NET pricing
- Instructions or notes for the supplier
- Shipping details, including options for split shipments or separate decoration suppliers
- Tools to submit the PO directly to the supplier
Supplier Invoice
The final section is the Supplier Invoice.
If a supplier uses DistributorCentral for billing, their invoice will appear here.
From this section, you can:
- View supplier-issued invoices
- Click a payment link (when provided) to pay the supplier directly
