# Item ordering

**Item Ordering** is used to create suggested orders for further processing by the back-office solution.

Item orders can be handled per supplier, which makes it easier for the user to verify that the items are being ordered from the right supplier in line with purchasing procedures:

- **One supplier** – A supplier number can be specified that ensures that all the items registered must be linked to this supplier number.
- **Multiple suppliers** – This is used if you want to order items without checking them against a supplier.

#### Start Item ordering

Tap the **Item ordering** menu. The start screen for Item ordering will open.
