Send a production order to a maker

The maker gets the order by email with a secure link, and a date to reply by.

Before you start

  • You have a draft production order with a maker and at least one line. See “Create a production order from a run”.

Send the order

  1. 1In Production → Production Orders, open the draft and click Send to maker. In the panel, keep Order in Send as. If you do not know the sewing price yet, choose Request for quote instead. See “Ask a maker for a quote”.
  2. 2Check Recipients and Reply by. The maker's primary contact is ticked. To add another person, click Add contact.
    WarningSend order emails the maker a secure link. After that, each change goes out as a new revision, and the maker confirms again.
    • Click Send order. The message reads “Order sent to 1 contact”.
    Check that the right contact is ticked and the reply date works for you.

Check the result

The order shows Awaiting reply and the label Rev 1 · sent with today's date. A notice gives the date the maker should reply by.

Other situations

Check whether the maker opened the order

Use this when you are waiting for the maker's reply.

  1. 1On the order card, find Partner access and read Opened. It shows “Sent, not opened yet” until the maker opens the link.
Next
  • Confirm a maker's reply — the maker confirms the order or proposes changes.
  • Change a sent production order — every later change goes out as a new revision.
