The order opens in a dialog titled with the order number, with the description "Production order details and tracking information". Beside the title you see the order's status, its health (when one is calculated) and its priority. The dialog has six tabs: **Overview**, **Items & Details**, **Production Status**, **Purchase Order**, **Communication** and **Shipping**.

## Overview

The **Overview** tab is a read-only summary in cards:

- **Order Information** – **Order Number**, **Order Type**, **Order Date**, **Priority**, **Total Quantity** (in units) and **Total Value**.
- **Factory Information** – The supplier name, address, contact and email.
- **Delivery & Terms** – **Shipping Method** and **Payment Terms**.
- **Agreed Dates** – **Production Start**, **Production End** and **Ex Factory**.
- **Actual Dates** – The same three dates as they really happened. Users with the **Update actual production date** permission see an **Edit** button on this card.
- **Supplier Confirmation** – Appears once a confirmation was requested from the supplier. See [Request supplier confirmation](https://docs.vestislabs.com/production/production-order-supplier-confirmation/).
- **Production Notes** – The notes entered on the order.

On the Overview Page, Users can update the Factory Information by selecting **Update**.

Update the information as needed in the update supplier page. Click **Save** to save the changes.

## Items & details

On the Item & Details page, users can review the Order Items. The card is titled **Order Items (n styles)**, with the description "Detailed breakdown of all items in this production order". Each style shows its picture, name, style code, total units and total value. Under it, every colour shows its **FOB Price** per unit, its total units and value, and a table with the quantity for each size. A colour that has since been made inactive on the style is marked **Inactive**.
