# Create order by supplier

In some restaurants, **Ordering** starts directly with supplier selection. You can also use this flow from **Ordering** > **Order** > **New order** > **Create order by supplier**.

This flow is useful when you already know which supplier you want to order from and prefer to prepare the order supplier by supplier.

## Create the order

1. Go to **Ordering**.
2. Search for the **supplier** and select it.
3. Search for the **products** you want to order.
4. Add the **quantity** for each product.
5. Review the **estimated total** at the bottom.
6. Click **Continue**.

Orders are available for raw materials, drinks, cleaning supplies, and consumables suppliers.

If no products appear when you open a supplier, upload invoices or delivery notes from that supplier first so haddock can link products and formats.

## Edit the delivery date

Before finishing the order, you can change the delivery date from **Delivery on**.

From there, you can change:

* Delivery date.
* Order cutoff time.
* Number of days until delivery.
* Days of the week when delivery takes place.

If you change this data, the configuration is saved for that supplier and reused in future orders.

## Confirm details

After clicking **Continue**, review the **Confirm details** screen.

There, you can check:

* **Your restaurant details**: name and address are required. Email is optional.
* **Your supplier details**: supplier name, email, and contact person.
* **Your order details**: comments or notes for the supplier.

## Share and finish

In **Complete order**, you can:

* Download the order as a PDF.
* Share it from your device, including WhatsApp if your device offers it in the share options.
* Send it directly to the supplier, if the supplier has a purchasing contact with an email address.

WhatsApp does not appear as a separate button in this supplier-first screen.

When you have downloaded, shared, or sent it, click **Complete and mark as shared**.

When you mark it as shared:

* The order can no longer be edited.
* It moves to **Order history**.
* You can share it again or download it from history.
* You can review it when the goods arrive.
