Overview
Order templates allow users to save lists of products with quantity, price and any notes for use as a template for future orders. Items on an order template can be partially or completely copied to the user's cart at any time in the future. An order template can be stored at a company level, enabling all users associated with that Customer Code to view and use these templates.
Some examples of order templates could be:
- Products that a user orders on a regular basis;
- Products that a sales representative orders for a particular customer.
