2.Under Search for Orders, select the recipient for the order:

3.Click Search. A list of materials available for ordering appears.

4.Optional: To view comments about the order, expand the Comments panel (if available). The comments panel displays all the comments entered for an order in chronological order. Each comment includes information about who entered the comment and when.

7.Click Save Orders. A text box appears allowing you to enter additional comments.

8.Click Submit to submit your order. The Order Summary window appears to show you an overview of your order.
