Order and invoice history in Spire

Optimizely B2B Commerce provides a variety of information about Orders and Invoices. The website provides access to both Order and Invoice information, while the Admin Console only provides access to Order information. B2B Commerce does not manage invoicing and therefore displays only what the customer's ERP system provides to our database, which is then displayed to the user.

Configure displayed columns for Order History and Invoice History

Spire CMS allows you to select which columns to show or hide in both the Order History and Invoice History tables on the website. The following columns are available for each table. Each of these columns can be shown or hidden, with one exception for each table: Order # is always shown in in the Order History table, and Invoice # is always shown in the Invoice History table.

Order History Invoice History
Order # (always shown) Invoice # (always shown)
Date Invoice Date
Order Total Terms
Status Due Date
Ship To/Pick Up Ship To/Pick Up
PO# PO#
  Status
  Invoice Total
  Current Balance

  3. Select which website to edit, if necessary.

View history information via the website

On the website, the Order History and Invoice History pages provide information on previous orders and invoices, respectively.

Select Order # of the order to view the Order Details page, which displays additional information, such as the shipping method, order notes, and order lines. The Shipping Method field displays the shipping description if it exists. In the case where it does not exist, the ship code will be displayed instead.

By default, the table will sort using the following order:

  • Order History: First by Date (newest first) and then by Order Number (highest number first)
  • Invoice History: First by Date (newest first) and then by Invoice Number (highest number first)

The Order History Details and the Invoice History Details pages provide the following information and options:

  • View the details of an order or invoice
  • Print order or invoice details (website only)
  • Email the order or invoice details (website only)
  • Cancel an order
  • Reorder all items (website only)

The option to cancel or reorder from order history involves updating specific settings and the configuration of an integration job. Refer to the setup article for configuration instructions: Setting up Order Cancel and Reorder
