Overview

The Orders Module in VirtoCommerce is a document based flexible orders management system with possibility to add unlimited number of documents related to customer order.

The Orders Module main purpose is to store order details and manage orders created by users on client side. This module is not designed to be a full order processing system like ERP but serves as storage for customer orders details and can be synchronized with different external processing systems.

The order itself contains minimum details, when the documents present additional order details, like payment, shipment, etc. and display the order management life cycle.

The Order Management process in VitroCommerce OMS is not coded and not pre-determined. This system is designed as an Order Details Editor with no validation logics available. The system is implied to be an additional storage for customer orders details.
