Order Workspace Overview

New Order

New Order lets users create a new appraisal request by selecting the order type, entering basic property and contact details, and choosing or automatically assigning a vendor depending on their settings. After confirming fees, payment method, and any delivery requirements, the user submits the order, and the assigned vendor has 24 hours to accept before Mercury Network® reassigns or flags it for reassignment according to the organization’s Vendor Selection Settings.
