# How does the Quick order window work?

With **Quick order** you order everything you need for a project, a quotation, an order or your stock in one go. Robaws suggests per item how much you need to order and from which supplier, and creates a [supply order](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/supply-orders-general-explanation-1gxeocy/) per supplier. You open the window with the shopping trolley.

*Navigate quickly to:*
* [where you open Quick order](#2-where-do-you-open-quick-order)
* the [window](#2-the-quick-order-window) and its columns
* [from a project](#2-from-a-project)
* [from a quotation or change order](#2-from-a-quotation-or-change-order)
* [creating the supply orders](#2-creating-the-supply-orders)

## Where do you open Quick order?

| From | What Robaws suggests |
| ---- |
| A [project](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/projects-general-explanation-9z0uyr/) | The items from the quotations that are active on the project, according to their project supply route. See [From a project](#2-from-a-project). |
| A [quotation](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/quotations-18y2inr/) or change order | The lines of the quotation or change order. See [From a quotation or change order](#2-from-a-quotation-or-change-order). |
| An [order](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/order-vrftnu/) | The lines of the order, or only the lines you select. |
| The [items](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/items-general-rkvihx/) | The items you tick in the overview, or from an item file via the plus sign next to 'Supply orders' in the **Overview** block. See also [Reordering items for your stock](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/reordering-items-for-your-stock-wunn19/). |
| A [stock location](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/creating-a-stock-location-uc9d9b/) | What you need to reorder to bring the stock at that location up to the desired stock. The supply order comes in at that location. |
| An [internal supply order](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/internal-supply-order-v47ip0/) | The lines of the internal supply order, to order them from your suppliers. |
| The overview of your supply orders | Nothing: you look up the items you want to order yourself. |

## The Quick order window

At the top of the window you choose the **Cost type** (material by default), the **Template** and, if applicable, a **Reference** for the supply orders. From a project you do not choose a template: Robaws uses the **Supply order template** from the project supply route. If you switch cost type, Robaws reloads the lines and your changes are lost.

Per line you see:

| Column | Explanation |
| ---- |
| Item, Description | What you order. |
| Quantity | How much you order. From a project, this column is called **To order**. Robaws takes the minimum order quantity of the supplier into account and warns you if an item is delivered per package. |
| Unit Type | The unit of the line. |
| Stock | Your stock of the item. Hover over the number with your mouse for the details: total, available and reserved stock, what is in backorder, and your minimum and desired stock. If you click the backorder, you see which supply orders are still open. |
| Supplier | From whom you order the item. Choose a supplier from all your suppliers. |
| Item Supplier | The supplier and their price from the item file. Robaws fills in the preferred supplier. |

Click a column title to sort. Tick the lines you want to order.

## From a project

Via the shopping trolley at the top of the project you only see the items:

* that are in a quotation that is active on the project
* of the cost type you choose at the top
* that have not been ordered before for this project

Identical items are added together. Lines without an item are not included: the project supply route needs an item. Per line you see the [project supply route](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/project-supply-routes-l7l8t1/), which you can still change here, and in the **To order** and **To reserve** columns how much you order and how much you reserve from your stock.

Click **Process**. For the items with the route 'to order', Robaws creates a supply order per supplier. Items from your stock end up on a [reservation list](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/stockreservations-q7v0lf/) or an internal supply order.

## From a quotation or change order

Via the shopping trolley at the top of a quotation or change order you order straight from your lines. You see that action button as soon as **Make supply order** is switched on in the [quotation settings](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/quotations-settings-1emzmmi/). Which lines are included depends on the cost type you choose at the top:

* In a **calculated quotation**, the cost type of each line in the substructure counts.
* In a **simple quotation**, the cost type on the item file determines which type a line belongs to. A line without an item, a composite item and a post count as material.

There are three differences with a project:

* There is no project supply route. All lines end up on a supply order. Per line, you can still choose an **Order** and a **Project**.
* Identical items are not added together.
* Lines without an item, with only a description, are included as well.

## Creating the supply orders

1. Choose the **Template** at the top, if that has not been done yet. From a project you skip this step. The template determines the type of supply order: a supply order, an internal supply order, a rental order, a subcontractor or a transport supply order. Without a template you cannot create anything: first create one in the [settings](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/supply-orders-settings-zcmha1/#2-templates).
2. Click **Make supply order** (or **Process** from a project).
3. Robaws creates one supply order per supplier. Lines without a supplier end up together on one supply order. If you choose a template of the Intern type, everything ends up on one internal supply order, without a supplier.

How Robaws fills in the description and the price of the lines is set in the [supply order settings](https://support.robaws.com/en/article/supply-orders-settings-zcmha1/#2-settings): whether the item name is added to the reference of the supplier, whether you see the supplier discount separately and whether Robaws uses the cost price from your calculation.
