The Mission
Orders marked as hot may, or may not need updates. A buyer may mark an item as hot for several reasons:
- This is an important order and they want to ensure you have extra eyes on it
- There may have been a change that needs your attention
- The buyer may need you to expedite the order
Orders that have been marked as hot will display a flame icon under the Flags column. You will also see any items that are hot with the flame icon under updates when there are buyer changes that need to be addressed.
Understanding the View
When you are on the Tasks view, you can look at all orders that have a hot status under the Hot tab.
You can click through each PO line (in the middle column) which will change the PO details and actions that are displayed in the column on the right.
