# Orders

Reference

An Order is a list of items and quantities to be produced. To be nestable, an order must at least contain one line. It can contain multiple kits and/or parts made of the same or different materials. When an order is sent to be nested, one nest job per unique material in the order is created. An order is editable while it is as a draft status. As soon as the order is queued to be nested, it cannot be modified.

# Orders Module

From the Orders module, you can create, copy, import, edit, and delete orders. This is also where you send them for nesting using the dedicated actions.

The **Orders **module can be accessed from the View tab, and the Modules drop down.
