# Saved Orders
Lets the cashier save an in-progress order and resume it later. Loads the saved-orders list filtered by current location (or all locations) and the active user, with optional column customisation. Includes navigation guards that block tab close / page navigation when an unsaved order is in progress.
## Available in
* Order Form modules **only**
## When to use
* Cashier registers where a customer steps away mid-sale and the cashier needs to handle other customers in the meantime.
* Multi-shift workflows where one cashier starts an order and another finishes it.
* Anywhere "save this for later" is part of the natural flow.
## Settings
| Setting | Description |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Configure** | Opens the configuration modal — button labels, column selection, location scope. |
The configuration modal supports:
* **Saved Orders Button Label** — text on the *open saved orders* button. Default: *Saved Orders*.
* **New Button Label** — text on the *new order* button. Default: *New*.
* **Save Button Label** — text on the *save current order* button. Default: *Save*.
* **Columns** — which columns to show in the saved-orders list. Available: Order Name, Order Number, Date, Customer Name, Logged-in User, Authorized User, Quantity, Total. All enabled by default.
* **Show All Location Orders** — show saved orders from all locations (Yes) or only the current location (No). Default: No.
## How it works
1. Loads saved orders via SuiteQL, filtered by:
* Current location (or all locations if Show All Location Orders = Yes).
* Subsidiary.
* Module name (so the list is workflow-specific).
2. Parses each order's `custrecord_brm_order_items` JSON to compute item count and total.
3. The user clicks *Save* — a modal appears asking for an optional order name.
4. The user clicks *Saved Orders* — sees the list, picks one to load.
5. **Loading** clears the current order state, then populates customer + line items (marks line items as `source: 'savedOrder'`).
6. **Deleting** soft-inactivates the saved-order record (no hard delete).
7. **Navigation guard** — if the user has an in-progress order with unsaved changes, navigation is blocked (with a confirm prompt) via `beforeunload` + the TanStack Router blocker.
{% hint style="info" %}
Use **Show All Location Orders = Yes** in environments where cashiers move between registers and need to pick up where they left off regardless of which physical location they're at.
{% endhint %}
## Examples
**Standard cashier hand-off.** Saved Orders with default settings. Cashier saves a sale, walks away, another cashier opens the saved orders list, picks it up, and completes the transaction.
**Multi-location warehouse.** Saved Orders with Show All Location Orders = Yes. Pick from any saved order across all warehouses.
**Compact saved-list view.** Columns trimmed to just Order Name, Customer Name, Total — for a tighter list on small screens.
