# Order Settings
Order Settings in Supply’d allow you to customise and streamline your ordering processes with flexible controls. You can set defaults, automate certain tasks, and adjust options to match how your business operates. This helps reduce manual work, prevent errors, and save time, while ensuring that every order follows the rules and preferences you’ve set - resulting in a smoother, more efficient ordering process tailored to your specific needs.
In **Order Settings** you can set defaults for:
* [#cart-settings](#cart-settings "mention")
* [#sales-order-settings](#sales-order-settings "mention")
* [#standing-orders](#standing-orders "mention")
* [#quotes](#quotes "mention")
* [#receiving-orders](#receiving-orders "mention")

### Cart Settings
Choose your settings for your cart and how you would like it to behave.
**Cart Mode**
Select the mode to use for the cart when checking out.
* **Standard:** Useful for most businesses looking to order from multiple suppliers at once.
* **Supplier:** A list of suppliers is shown without products and pricing for efficient loading when dealing with a large amount of suppliers. Each supplier order can be viewed and ordered individually.
**Universal Cart**
Choose whether or not to enable Universal Cart, allowing all users to share a single cart.
* **Yes:** Items added to cart by any user will appear for all users.
* **No:** Each user will have their own isolated cart.
**Cart Supplier Order**
Select the sort order to use for suppliers on the cart.
* **First to Last:** Suppliers with items added to the cart first will show at the top.
* **Last to First:** Suppliers with items added to the cart last will show at the top.
**Order By Department**
Choose how to handle department tracking in your Purchase Orders.
* **Yes:** Each department places a separate order to each supplier.
* **No:** Orders for the same supplier are merged together with no department tracking.
{% hint style="info" %}
To order by departments, they must first be set up in your Location settings.
👉 See the [#departments](https://help.supplyd.co/configuring-supplyd/locations#departments "mention") section in the [locations](https://help.supplyd.co/configuring-supplyd/settings/locations "mention") document.
{% endhint %}
**Enable Send Later Option**
Choose whether to show a "Send Now" or "Send Later" option on Purchase Orders to delay when supplier's are notified.
{% hint style="success" %}
The **Enable Send Later** option is especially useful when you want to create all your purchase orders on one day but have suppliers receive them on specific days. This helps you control delivery timing -for example, avoiding all deliveries arriving on the same day.
{% endhint %}

### Sales Order Settings
Choose your settings for your sales orders.
**Default Warehouse**
Select the warehouse that Supply’d orders are mapped to by default for pick and pack from your list of [locations](https://help.supplyd.co/configuring-supplyd/settings/locations "mention").

Choose whether or not to show a overdue flag next to paid orders on the sales orders screen.

{% hint style="info" %}
This will show only when viewing a specific sales order.
{% endhint %}
**Order Date Display**
Select which date - either **Order Date** or **Delivery Date** - you would like to display on the sales orders screen.
**Autofill Delivery Date**
Choose whether or not to automatically fill the next available delivery date when creating or modifying an order. This will autofill the next delivery date according to the configured delivery schedule for the selected rule/zone. It will only be updated if a delivery date has not already been supplied.
**Recalculate Due Date From Delivery Date**
Choose whether or not to automatically recalculate the due date based on the delivery date.
If set to "**Yes**", the due date of an order will be recalculated from the delivery date when a delivery date is added or updated.
**Imported Orders Display Name**
Select which name to display on the sales order screen when orders are imported.
If "**Company Name**" is selected and no company name is provided, the relative first and last names will be displayed.

{% step %}
### Standing Orders

**Create Orders With Status**
Select the status - either **Draft** or **Order Placed** - that you would like standing orders to be created as.
* **Draft:** If you wish to review each order before placing.
* **Order Placed:** Have the order automatically approved ready to go.

### Quotes
Configure your settings for quotes.
**Terms & Conditions**
Add your company’s standard terms, such as payment or delivery details. These will automatically appear on all quotes sent through Supply’d.
**Default Quote Message**
Add a **Default Quote Message** to set a standard message that will automatically appear on all quotes sent to suppliers. You can customise this message to suit your business needs, saving time by automatically applying it to every new quote.
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Receiving Orders
Choose your settings for receiving orders.
**Auto Next**
Select whether, when receiving an order, the system should automatically move to the next item if the exact quantity is received.
* **All Items:** Once the exact quantity of items has been received, it will jump to the next item to be received for all items.
* **Items More Than 1 Qty:** Once the exact quantity of items has been received it will jump to the next item to be received for any items with a quantity greater than 1.
* **Never:** The next item will never be automatically jumped to. You will need to manually select or scan each item.
**Allow Receive All**
Choose whether or not to show the **Receive All** option when receiving an order.
**Receive All** allows you to receive all items on an order without scanning or selecting each individual item.
**Enable QC Check**
Choose whether or not to show the quality control check when creating batches while receiving. Result will be stored against the batch.
**Enable Temperature Check**
Choose whether or not to display the temperature check for refrigerated or frozen products when creating batches during receiving. The result will be recorded against the batch.
**Auto Receive Transfers**
Choose whether or not to auto-receive transfers within the same location.
This is ideal for single-user transfers (eg. stock from back-of-house to storefront) where you want the stock to auto-receive once picked.
Transfers from other locations will still need to be received manually.
**Price-Embedded Barcode Price**
Select which price should be used by default to convert price-embedded barcodes into a weight for inventory.
