Creating a New Order

Using AOM add-on you can create new orders and input every order detail manually. This feature is especially useful if your store accepts telephone ordering or other forms of offline order placement along with online sales, and you would like to use the same powerful LiteCommerce mechanism to manage all kinds of orders at your store. To create an order, select the 'Create order' section from the 'Management' menu. Alternatively you can click on the 'create a new order' link in the 'Search orders' form.

The new order is assigned its own unique order number and you are redirected to the 'Ordered products' page of the order (Figure 15). Complete the required order information in the 'Ordered products', 'Customer information' and 'Order totals' pages.

Next switch to the 'Review and save order' tab where you will specify the initial status of an order and save order details by clicking on the 'Save changes' button (Figure 16).

You can then choose the 'Order info' tab to process the order in a regular way and use the 'Order history' tab (Figure 17) to view order history.
