# Refining order quantities

## Adjust quantities after adding products to an order –– for seasonal demand, promos, or to hit a brand's minimum.

### Recalculate order quantities by adjusting your **desired days on hand**

When you add products to an order, their days on hand, lead time, and lookback period come from your **[All Products](https://knowledge.happycabbage.me/adding-individual-skus-to-your-cart?hsLang=en)** or [**Product Line settings**](https://knowledge.happycabbage.me/product-line-settings?hsLang=en).

To recalculate **Units to Order**, just change **Days on Hand** or **Lead Time**.

Quantities update instantly based on each product's units per day (sales velocity).

### **Manually override units to order**

To set a quantity yourself, type it into the **Units to Order** field. This overrides the days on hand and lead time settings.

A reset icon appears next to any quantity you've changed. Click it to clear your override and return to the calculated value.

### **Update unit cost on your order**

Edit the unit cost directly on your order to match your vendor's current cost. The estimated cost updates automatically and is optional to include on your shared orders.

### Product lines: **Include number of products to order**

For all product lines, you have the ability to add the number of products needed.

If you have a product line depth set, you strains needed will automatically be calculated for you, but you can also manually override the quantity. 

This quantity will be included when you send the order. 

 

### **Product line order notes**

Click the pencil icon to add notes for each product line. These notes will be include on your shared [**Order guide**](https://knowledge.happycabbage.me/product-line-order-guide?hsLang=en).

 

### **Estimated cost summary**

Changes made to your order quantities are instantly reflected on the right side of the screen in the summary panel so you see your final order at a glance when editing.

### **Save and send your order**

Once you are satisfied with your order, click **Save order**

From here, your order will live on the orders tab, where you can add or edit your order notes and email directly to a vendor. 

You can also use the **Actions tab to export a PDF or CSV** of your order after it has been saved.

**Note:** If you adjust order quantities in your cart and then navigate back to a product view in Happy Buyers, you will see the cart icon change to a reset icon. This indicates that the order quantities have been adjusted in your cart and differ from the current view. Clicking the **update cart qty** icon here will reset your cart to the originally calculated value.
