What is an order, and what has to happen before you place one?
An order is the vendor purchase order issued after the field measure and selections lock, which then drives delivery and install scheduling.
Start free→An order is the purchase order a contractor issues to a vendor to buy material for a project, usually custom-fabricated material like cabinets or countertops. It is not the first step; it is a gated one. The order comes after the customer's selections are locked and after the room is field-measured, because the order has to reflect both the chosen finish and the room's real dimensions.
The order sits in the middle of a physical sequence, and placing it out of order is expensive. Order before the field measure and you are buying against an estimate that may not match the built room. Order before selections lock and you may buy the wrong finish. Once the order is right, it drives the rest: delivery is scheduled behind it, and install is scheduled behind delivery. A wrong or premature order ripples into scrapped material and a crew with nothing to set.
Scaftra models the order as the gated middle of the cabinet and countertop trade lifecycle: measure, then order, then deliver, then install, with each step a physical gate on the next. Procurement is also fed from the design side: an approved, procurement-required selection drives a draft budget commitment kept in lockstep with the selection's supplier and amount, so the order obligation traces to the customer's actual choice rather than a guess.
