Below are some of the features of archiving an order:

    Archiving an order resets both the Order Number and Estimate Number

    Order Numbers that are not in use can be un-archived

    Notes records document when an order is archived and un-archived

    An “A” icon displays next to all Order Numbers when archived

    The “A” icon is also displayed for archived order numbers in the Find Order for Redaction menu.

    Order Details shows the date the order was archived (as do the notes attached to the order)

    An Include Archived Orders flag is available in most Find dialogs. This flag allows you to include archived orders in your searches

    Orders with Recurring Billing records cannot be archived

    Revenue can be generated for archived orders

    Claims can be added to and processed under archived orders

    Users are unable to import or export data to archived orders

 

Using the Order Archive Tool

MoversSuite Administration > Administration > Order Archive

 

The Order Archive tool allows administrators to search using one or more parameters to build a list of orders to archive or un-archive. Use the parameters described in the table below and press Search to build the list. All parameters work together to produce a list. If Search is pressed without entering any parameters, then all orders are returned and are available to archive.

 

Information with solid fill

We recommend archiving on a year-by-year basis.

Once a list is generated,  select the orders you want to archive individually or by pressing Select All to include all orders in the list and press Save to archive.

The following table provides descriptions for the fields and functions available within this setup. All parameters work in unison to create the search results.

 

Field

Description

Order Number

Enter the beginning of or all of the Order Number you want to archive/un-archive. Use wildcards of “_” (underscore) to skip a single unknown character and “%” (percentage) to skip more than one unknown character. An implied “%” wildcard added automatically to the end of any entered value.

Order Status

If you wish to filter the search results by the Order Status, then select one from the available list (defined within Order Status Setup).

Created On Date

Filter the search results by one or more key move dates. Set the comparison operator to “equals” to match the date entered or set it to “on or before” to include all orders with a date matching or occurring before the entered date.

Use the date selector   to open the calendar menu. Close this menu by selecting a date or by pressing the ESC key.

All dates are visible for the order through the Move Information tab. For the Load Date and Delivery Date, the application checks the Actual date first and, if not set, references the spread defined within the Range tab.

Search Archived Orders (to un-archive orders)

Check this option to only include archived orders in the search. Use this option to un-archive one or more orders.

Archived On Date

Additionally, you can filter by the date the order was archived. Set the conditional operator to “equals” to search for a particular date or set it to “on or after” to include all archived orders that were archived on or after the entered dates.

Use the date selector   to open the calendar menu. Close this menu by selecting a date or by pressing the ESC key.

Search

Press Search to build the list of records to archive/un-archive. A message dialog appears if no matches were found.

If the search is successful, a list of orders appears along with a count of orders found.

Archived

Place a check in this column to archive an order and uncheck it to un-archive the order. Optionally, use the Select All feature to check or uncheck all records in the search results.

Save

Pressing Save keeps the archive state of all the orders appearing in the search results listing. Save affects all order listed, so take care to ensure that the list accurately depicts what you want saved to the database.

Cancel

Cancel restores the archive state the orders were in prior to any changes made and saved previously. If you select a few orders you want archived and then want to clear them, use the Cancel button to do so.
