The supplier receives an email with a link and a passkey. Sending the request again reuses the existing link while it is active.

What the recipient sees

    The page View Order Sheet asks for the passkey from the email.

    The View Order Sheet page asking the recipient for the passkey from the email

  2. Enter the passkey and click "View Order Sheet"

    If the passkey is wrong, the page shows Invalid passkey. Please check the passkey from your email and try again.

The recipient sees the Sample order sheet with the brand, supplier, request details, status history and comments marked for the order sheet. If the sample is linked to a measurement or a tech pack, those pages follow. The gear icon offers Order sheet layout (Portrait or Landscape) and Tech pack layout (Landscape compact, Landscape or Portrait), and the print icon prints the page. The recipient does not need a Vestis account.

In Sample Details, click Other Actions → Revoke Order Sheet Link, then confirm with Revoke Link. Anyone who still has the link and passkey loses access straight away. Sending the request again creates a new link. If someone opens a revoked link, the page shows Your session has expired or this link has been revoked. Please re-enter the passkey.

Warning

Revoke Order Sheet Link is greyed out when the sample has no active link.
