Why can't I change an order's location?

Quotes and ordersUpdated 2 Nov 2026

Short answer

An order's location can change only while the record is editable and has an active Shopify draft.

Placement in Shopify, a purchase-order link, active sync or a locking status prevents the move. Hover over the app's location control for the specific reason.

POS keeps the order's existing location when saving edits.

Does restricting a template to one location hide it from the online store?

No. Who can add it controls staff and POS availability, while online publication has separate settings.

Set permitted brands or locations in the template's Organization card and save. Configure the template's online mode separately when you need to change what shoppers can see.

Does Home show figures for all my locations?

Yes. Home and Analytics cover all locations; the location picker in the header does not filter their totals. Reports have their own Store filter.

Check the reporting period and the report's filters before comparing a showroom's figures with the totals on Home.

Why is the location picker greyed out?

The location picker is greyed out when the current record cannot change location. Reasons include a placed Shopify order, a purchase-order link, an unfinished sync, a locking status or view-only access. Hover over the picker for the reason.

A purchase order keeps its own location; leave the record page to choose another working location.

Why does a new browser tab show All Locations again?

OrderPilot remembers the working location separately in each browser tab, so a new tab starts at All Locations. With brand grouping enabled, the label is All Brands. Choose the location again before starting a sale, and check the location filter when opening a list in another tab.
