Find orders with available BOL documents
Navigate to the Orders page to view a summary of your orders across one or more Lineage facilities.
Before looking up order documents, ensure the Documents column is displayed. Selecting the 3-dots icon will allow you to see which columns are displayed (checked). Note: To prioritize a column in your list view, drag and drop a column header left or right.
The outline below provides examples of how to filter for one or more orders with an associated bill of lading (BOL) attached.
Filter by document type
To view all orders, that currently have a BOL attached, select the Filters icon, locate the Document(s) filter, select Has, and choose Bill of lading (Type), then click Apply.
Once the “Has” and “Bill of lading” document type filter criteria are selected, see examples below for common criteria you can add on, as needed, to help narrow down specific orders with BOL documents.
- Filter for BOL documents uploaded within a specific time frame.
- Filter for BOL documents at a specific Lineage location.
- Filter for BOL documents by reference number (e.g., SO, PO).
Pro-tip! Save the filter criteria you select the most often to quickly re-apply later. For more information, check out the Using filters to quickly find information article.
Once you have chosen the filter criteria you need and applied it to the Orders page, you can see which orders have associated documentation within the Documents column. Note: Select an order to view more information and download a BOL from the Documents tab.
