Ticking 'Order Placed' records the order

The Order Placed checkpoint the builder already ticks is what marks the order as sent — however it was actually ordered.

What it is

On a materials stage, completing the 'Order Placed' checkpoint stamps the Ordered badge on the project card. Unticking it clears the badge.

Materials stage checklist with 'Order Placed' ticked, and the card's Ordered badge appearing — projectPipeline.ts handleCheckpointPm. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1The checkpoint handler watches for the mat_ordered checkpoint on materials stages
  2. 2Completed → badge stamped with 'Order Placed checkpoint completed'; cleared → badge removed with 'Order Placed checkpoint cleared'
  3. 3It runs on every checkpoint save and is idempotent
Why we built it

A builder asked how to mark an order as sent after he had phoned it in, and there was no answer. The badge was stamped only when an order was emailed out through the platform, so anyone who ordered by phone or straight from the supplier's own portal watched the card read 'Order not sent' forever with nothing to click, and the material tracking went back to memory. The checkpoint he already ticks on the schedule is the answer: ticking Order Placed is the statement that the order went out, recorded once, in the place he was already recording it.

The problem
  • Orders placed outside the platform being unrecordable
  • Cards permanently stuck on 'Order not sent'
Sound familiar?
What you get
One act recorded once, where the builder was already recording it
Works no matter how the order was actually placed
