Undo (Ctrl+Z) (order check only)

If you want to undo a change or deletion, click on that row and press Ctrl + Z. You can select and undo several rows at once by holding down Ctrl or Shift and clicking.

  • The menu command is only available in the order check, but Ctrl + Z works in all controls.

  • Rows marked for deletion can also be undone using the Delete key.

Copy (Ctrl+C)

(order check only)

Copies a row or a cell in the order list. If you want to copy an entire row, click on the far left of the row to select the whole row. If you click in a cell, only that cell will be copied.

  • You can copy multiple rows or cells by holding down the Ctrl or Shift key and clicking. If you select several rows or cells that are not adjacent to one another (e.g. rows 1 and 7), blank rows will be inserted into the gap (i.e. 5 blank rows between 1 and 7).

  • Some information cannot be copied, for example the columns First loaded status, Most recent unloaded status, Status and Invoice OCR number.

Paste (Ctrl+V) (order check only)

Paste copied rows or cells. It is possible to copy an entire row and then paste it into a cell on another row (for example, in column Distance), but the result will be unpredictable. Just paste row by row and cell by cell.

Export to Excel (Ctrl+E) (only the assignment review and the cost review)

Exports the entire filtered list to Excel.

  • The command is available in the order check menu Options.

  • In the groupage check and consolidation check, it is not possible to export to Excel.

The order list and the consolidation list

(missing or bad snippet)

For more information, see Consolidation settings (window)

If you filter by any of the columns, they will appear as buttons just above the list. You can also use these buttons to disable the filters.

At the bottom of the window, the sum of the values in the columns is displayed.

If you have applied a column filter and sorted the search results, the list will not refresh if you change a value, such as the number of parcels. This also applies once you have saved the new number of packages. The search results will not be updated until you filter or re-sort the list.

The above applies only to columns containing free-text values, not to columns that retrieve values from a register (for example, Resource), or when you use the special filters under Filter show rows with value that.

Orders

This section displays the orders that match the search criteria and are not yet included in any consolidation. Use button Auto consolidate orders to create consolidation orders in accordance with the settings for the consolidation type.

Consolidations

The consolidation orders are displayed here. If you select a consolidation, the original orders – that is, the orders included in it – will appear in the list above. The Clear selected rows (Escape) button above the list deselects the consolidation and displays all orders in the order list.
