After a Quote & Cut order is placed, your team should review the order before production.
Quote & Cut provides useful job data and file downloads, but every order should still go through your normal production checks.
Recommended order workflow #
A typical workflow is:
- Open the WooCommerce order.
- Check payment status.
- Check customer details.
- Check delivery or collection method.
- Review the Quote & Cut Parts section.
- Download and review original DXFs.
- Download generated nesting files, if used.
- Check Secondary Processes, if used.
- Check customer order notes.
- Confirm the job is suitable for production.
- Move the order into your production workflow.
- Update the WooCommerce order status when appropriate.
Check payment status #
Before producing the order, confirm that payment has been received or that your business process allows production before payment.
Use your normal WooCommerce payment and order status workflow.
Check customer details #
Review:
- Customer name.
- Billing address.
- Shipping address.
- Email address.
- Phone number.
- Company name, if provided.
- Customer notes.
Check delivery or collection #
Review:
- Selected shipping method.
- Shipping cost.
- Delivery address.
- Local pickup or collection selection.
- Any delivery instructions.
Check Quote & Cut Parts #
Review each part:
- File name.
- Preview.
- Material.
- Thickness.
- Quantity.
- Weight.
- Per-part cost.
- Folding details.

Check original DXFs #
Open the original DXF files if you need to confirm:
- Geometry.

Check generated files #
If using generated nesting files, check:

Layout status notices #
If the order shows a simplified-layout or pricing-only notice, review it before production.
The customer may have been priced successfully even if some automated layout output was simplified or skipped.
Use your normal manual review process where needed.
Enterprise inventory note #
If Quote & Cut Enterprise is active, order statuses may affect inventory behaviour.
Review the Enterprise inventory documentation before changing your live order status workflow.
