After creating a new order, you will see a glowing**Create order item** button on the bottom left. Click on it. A new window will open, allowing you to manage the Order Item's settings. 

- Select the product to manufacture. You can learn how to add a product[here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhrBh0Hm77w).
- In title, you can name this order item, for example, Product 1 January or Chair Model #45.
- You also have the option to make this order item a **prospect**. This means you can get the production plan of this order to get a realistic date when your company can complete it without scheduling. This option is generally used to support your company's sales team. 
- You can also make this order item have children dependency reversed.
- You can select the start day of this new job by clicking the**calendar icon** or skip this action and allow the AI to choose the best available day. 
- On Delivery day, select the date you want this order to be finished and ready to be shipped. 
- Next, choose the **Production Quantity**. This is the actual quantity you will produce. This option is helpful if you want to create some to store in the warehouse or have some in stock. 
- Order Quantity is the quantity the client ordered. 
- Then, you can add additional information like restrictions, warnings, and more. 
- You can share additional information about this order item in the attachment options, such as blueprints or instructions. 
- Finally, click**Save**. You will now see this new order edit panel.

- On your right, you will see the **Process Steps** for this item. You can edit each one by clicking on the **Gear Icon** or delete it by clicking the **Trash Can Icon**. 
- You can change the order of the steps by holding the left click of your mouse and moving the step selected with it. You can also add a new process step by clicking the **Add process step** at the bottom.

- You will notice, too, that your new order item has yet to be scheduled. Click on the glowing button **Schedule to production**.
- Now click the **View in Timeline** button.
- You will be redirected to the **GANTT Timeline**. Here, you will see your new order in blue, which means this job is still a draft. Click **Accept**to schedule and make this job appear in your employees' timeline, or **Discard ** it if you don't approve.
