Order and invoice history in Classic

Optimizely B2B Commerce provides a variety of information about Orders and Invoices. The website provides access to both Order and Invoice information, the Admin Console only provides access to Order information. B2B Commerce does not manage invoicing and therefore displays only what the customer's ERP system provides to our database, which is then displayed to the user.

Viewing history information via the website

On the website, the Order History and Invoice History pages provide the following data points:

Order History Invoice History
Date Date
Order # Invoice #
Ship To Due Date
Status Ship To
Web Order # PO #
PO # Terms
Total Total

Select the Date of the order to view the Order Detail page, which displays additional information, such as the shipping method, order notes, and order lines. The Shipping Method field displays the shipping description if it exists. In the case where it does not exist, the ship code will be displayed instead.

By default, the table will sort using the following order:

  • Order History: First by Date (newest first) and then by Order Number (highest number first)
  • Invoice History: First by Date (newest first) and then by Invoice Number (highest number first)

The Order History Details and the Invoice History Details pages provide the following information and options:

  • View the details of an order or invoice
  • Print order or invoice details (website only)
  • Email the order or invoice details (website only)
  • Cancel an order

The option to cancel or reorder from order history involves updating specific settings and the configuration of an integration job. Refer to the setup article for configuration instructions: Setting up Order Cancel and Reorder
