Project Basics: Placing Orders
Learn how to place orders directly from your Project and give yourself a powerful way to manage your items.
Keep Track of Everything in One Place
When you're working on a home improvement project, it's important to stay organized. One of the best ways to do this is to order directly from your Project so the order is also saved. This allows you at-a-glance visibility into what has been purchased, what has shipped, and what still needs to be ordered.
Ordering Individual Items
The best way to accurately keep track of what Project items have been purchased, check on tracking and set up returns is to place orders directly from your Project. This will ensure items are not duplicated and make sure your order is saved directly to your Project from the start.
- To order just a few items at once, you can simply click the Add to Cart button on each product tile in your Project Shopping List
- To bulk add items, select the check boxes in the top left-hand corner of the product tiles or groups, and click the Add to Cart button in the Project Toolbar.
- To add all items from your Project to the cart at once, click the Add All to Cart button at the bottom of your Project Shopping List, by the Project Totals.
Associating the Project from the Cart
If you want to start a Project directly from your shopping cart before you check out, click the Cart Tools dropdown, found below your last item in the cart
- Click the Save to Project option.
- Selecting an existing Project or creating a new Project will save that order into your Project and mark the items as purchased.
Be aware, if the items in your cart are already in your Project, they will be added again, so make sure to check your quantities.
Purchased Items & Order Details
Once your order is saved to your Project, all items from that order will be marked as purchased in your Project. If items on the order weren’t in your Project, they will be added to your Project and marked as purchased. You can view the details of that order and access quick order actions from either the "Orders" section of the "Project Management Tools" section on the right-hand side of your project, or by clicking "Order Details" directly from the product tile of your purchased item.
