How to use order and line indicators as a buyer

Order & line indicators

You can set indicators on both order and line levels. Line indicators have precedence over (overrule) order indicators.

When working with the single delivery per order line feature, these indicators behave slightly different, check the single delivery order line behavior.

Confirmed by buyer

confirmed: all goods of this order or line are confirmed by the supplier, according to the buyer.

The order or line must have process status Issued and will become Confirmed. This indicator is only intended for onboarding or migration of order lines which are already confirmed.

Reconfirmation request by buyer

requestReconfirmation: the supplier is requested to reconfirm the order line. The supplier either reconfirms the order line with requested values or alternatively does a reopen request with different values.

The order or line must have process status Confirmed and will become InProgress. The inProgressStatus will become OpenBuyerReconfirmationRequest

Shipped by supplier

shipped: all goods of this order or line are completely shipped by the supplier, according to the buyer.

The order or line having logistics status Open, Produced, ReadyToShip will become Shipped.

Delivered at buyer

delivered: all goods of the order or line are completely delivered at the buyer.

The order or line having logistics status Open, Produced, ReadyToShip or Shipped will become Delivered.

Completed at buyer

completed: the order or line is completed at the buyer. Usually this indicator is set when the invoice is received and approved by buyer.

Single delivery order line behavior

The /order/indicators endpoint is not supported when using the single delivery feature. Let support know when you need this endpoint for single delivery.

When using the single delivery per order line feature, Tradecloud manages related lines through the originalPosition reference. This affects how indicators behave:
