Order
The Order section within a claim provides a direct link to the specific order associated with the issue. This creates a clear connection between the claim and the original transaction, which is essential for traceability, accountability, and efficient resolution.
When a claim is created from an order, this section is populated with the order's key details. This gives all stakeholders immediate context, allowing them to see crucial information such as the factory, agent, and pricing without needing to navigate away from the claim.
Quick Check - Before You Start
- Create or open a claim that was raised from an order; this section is populated for order-linked claims.
- If you need full order context, confirm you are viewing the correct linked Order reference before relying on ETD, factory, or pricing shown here.

Helpful Tips

- Enhance Reporting: By linking claims to orders, you can generate powerful reports to identify trends, such as which factories or styles are associated with the most claims.

Troubleshooting
Why is the Order section empty on my claim?
This section is filled when the claim is created from an order. For manually created claims with no order link, order fields will not appear. Create a new claim from the order or add the relationship if your workflow supports it.
The factory or agent shown does not match what I expect—why?
Values reflect the linked order’s data at the time of the link. Open the order record to verify Factory, Agent, and Department; update the order if your organisation’s source of truth has changed.
How do I use this section for reporting or trends?
Linked claims carry order metadata (factory, style, buy price, etc.) for analysis. Use reporting or exports that include claim–order links to spot patterns such as repeated issues by factory or style.
