Delivery Date Forward Ordering
This report shows orders that have already been placed for a future delivery date, rather than today`s orders. It`s a handy way to see what`s booked ahead so you`re not just reacting to same-day order volume.
What you can do here
- View orders booked in for future delivery dates
- Plan stock purchasing around known busy periods
- Roster staff based on what`s already on the books
- Get ahead of major occasions like Valentine`s Day or Mother`s Day
Step by step
- Go to Dashboard > Orders > Delivery run sheet
- Look for the Forward Orders view
- Review the orders listed by their future delivery date
- Use this to plan your stock and staffing ahead of time
Tips
- Check this regularly in the lead-up to major occasions so you`re not caught short on stock
- Use it alongside your same-day orders to get a full picture of what`s coming up
- Share the forward view with your team so everyone knows what`s ahead
Ask the assistant
You can also ask the assistant to pull this information up for you, for example:
- "Show me forward orders for the next two weeks"
- "How many orders do we have booked in for Mother`s Day?"
- "What`s on the delivery run sheet for next Friday?"
