# Retail | Assigning an Order

## There are a couple of ways to Assign A Driver to an order. You can Assign A Driver when creating an order or Re-route an existing order. Assigning the Order Video Walkthrough

#### **New Order**

To create an order, navigate to **Dispatch** and either **Find Member** or create a **New Member**. 

- Select the existing member by clicking into the Member box. 

**Note:** Clicking on the Member's name will take you to the **Member Profile**.

The **Delivery Details Method** defaults to **Delivery**. 

- You are able to set up a delivery window by clicking on the **Edit Time** button.

After your order is completely entered, click **Assign A Driver**.

![Assigning an Order 3](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Assigning%20an%20Order%203.png?width=571&height=373&name=Assigning%20an%20Order%203.png)

**Note**: Click here to skip to the [**Re-route Driver**](https://blaze-6831432.hs-sites.com/hc/en-us/articles/retail-how-do-i-assign-an-order-to-a-driver-in-the-blaze-delivery-app?hsLang=en) window. 

#### **Existing Order**

You are also able to **Re-Route** existing orders in **Dispatch **while in the **Unassigned, In Progress, **and** Scheduled **queues.  ![Assigning an Order 4](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Assigning%20an%20Order%204.png?width=575&height=377&name=Assigning%20an%20Order%204.png)

 

On the right side of the order, you have 4 square icon options.

1. **Edit: **Will take you to the Cart Order

2. **Re-route: This will** allow you to assign or re-assign the Order/Task

3. **Packed By**: Allows you to see or assign who packed the order.

4. **The 3 Dot Icon** 

- **Send to [Onfleet](https://blaze-6831432.hs-sites.com/hc/en-us/articles/retail-blaze-x-onfleet-faq?hsLang=en): **Allows you to assign to Onfleet if the options are enabled
- **Delivery Address: **Allows you to update the Delivery Address

#### In the **Re-Route Driver** window, there is a **Drivers** column that lists all drivers that are signed in.

Under **Inventory,** you see the 1/1 and 0/1.  

- 1/1 indicates that there is 1 item in this order and 1 item that the driver has in their inventory.
- 0/1 indicates that the driver does not have that product in their inventory 

There is also a column for** Estimated Distance** for the delivery and how many **Orders** each driver is assigned.

We are going to assign Mary Jane to this order by clicking **Assign Driver**. 

 

![Assigning an Order 6](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Assigning%20an%20Order%206.png?width=571&height=321&name=Assigning%20an%20Order%206.png)

#### Packing an Order in the shop 

Another window will populate to **Re-Assign Employee**. You will see the driver's name defaulted.

**Packed By** (optional) - Packing an Order is the process of getting the ordered products ready to sell and packed into their packaging material in order to deliver to the customer.

- If this is Pizza Delivery Style then you more than likely have someone packing your orders before they leave the shop.  If orders get packed in the shop before leaving, select the person who packed the order.
- If this is an Ice Cream Truck model then, you will be packing the orders in the field as the orders come in. 
- We are leaving this **Unassigned** as it will be **Packed** by the driver in the field.

**Override Inventory (optional)**, Make sure to select the correct [inventory](https://blaze-6831432.hs-sites.com/hc/en-us/articles/retail-what-inventory-are-my-products-in-1?hsLang=en) this is being sold from. 

 

![Assigning an Order 7](https://support.blaze.me/hs-fs/hubfs/Assigning%20an%20Order%207.png?width=575&height=300&name=Assigning%20an%20Order%207.png)

 

Once the order is assigned, the order will proceed to **In Progress**.

Now the driver will be able to see this **Order** as a **Task** in the **App** as well.
