The Track Orders option allows you to look up specific order numbers, or look up orders that meet a certain criteria. You must provide either an order number or date range for exp.o® to search by. Upon a successful search, exp.o will return basic information for one or multiple orders (depending on the search criteria) that you may view in detail. By viewing order details, you can determine such information as what items are associated to the order, the quantity, and whether the order has been received or shipped.

About the 'Average Weighted Days' Column Order Management Help>About the 'Average Weighted Days' Column

The Average Weighted Days Column is visible in the results of a Vendor Performance Summary Report. The numbers in the Average Weighted Days Column are created from the following equation:

(Sum of Qty Non-Compliant * Days Early or Late) / Total Items Ordered

How to Calculate the Average Weighted Days

Your Vendor Performance Summary will show data similar to the following:

Figure 1. View of the Average Weighted Days column.

To find the Sum of 'Qty Non-Compliant' and 'Days Early/Late', you will have to select the row to drill down to its details. After doing so, you will need to extract the data to Excel and calculate the sum of the 'Qty Non-Compliant' and 'Days Early/Late' columns.

Note: By extracting the data to Excel, you can use Excel to perform the calculations for you. In the image below, Excel is multiplying the 'Qty Non-Compliant' and 'Days Early/Late' columns.

Figure 2. View of the data extracted to Excel. Notice the two columns being multiplied.

Now that you have the value for (Sum of Qty Non-Compliant * Days Early/Late), you can complete the equation:
