After you have submitted your Shopping Cart, it is routed through the Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition for approval and the creation of Orders to the various suppliers of items in the Shopping Cart.

At any time you can view the progress of your Shopping Cart in the Shopping Cart Status page.

If you left your Shopping Cart before submission, it can also be seen in the Shopping Cart Status page. However, it may be easier to locate by looking in the Open Shopping Cart page.

1. Go to the Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition Home page.
   
2. Click Shopping Carts in the Check Status menu.

   The browser displays the Shopping Cart Status page containing:

   • A group of fields used to select the Shopping Carts to be displayed and their order, by:
     • Entering free-form text, numbers, or wildcard characters
     • Selecting from drop-down menus
   • A list of Shopping Carts, information about them, and actions you can perform

Depending or your system role, your may see Shopping Carts for one or more Buyers or Buying Organizations, or just your own.

Shopping Cart List

By default, the list is sorted by Creation Date (column number five, in the list of Shopping Carts.)  with the most recent Shopping Cart at the top of the list.

If there are enough Shopping Carts for the list to fill several pages, use the VCR-style controls to move forward and backward through the pages.

Use the drop-down menus and text entry boxes, above the list,  to filter the list, and find the Shopping Cart that interests you.

The Shopping Cart List has seven columns, as follow:

	Click this icon to expand the Shopping Cart and view its contents, unit prices, and total cost (including tax.) Click to close up the Shopping Cart again and hide it's contents.
Organization Name	The Buying Organization to which the creator of this Shopping Cart belongs.  If that buyer belongs to more than one Buying Organization, then this shows which Buying Organization the buyer selected in the Choose your Organization drop-down menu before starting this Shopping Cart.
Shopping Cart Name	This is the unique identifier assigned to the Shopping Cart when created, unless the buyer chose to name the Shopping Cart.
Requester	This is the name of the buyer who created the Shopping Cart (the real name not a logon ID. For example, Doris Smith, not User28, or DSmth.)
Creation Date	This is the date on which the Shopping Cart was first created for a new item or from a template.
Status	The current status of the Shopping Cart, that can be: Open, if the buyer has not yet submitted the Shopping Cart Awaiting Approval, if the total cost exceeds the buyer's Spending Limit Pending Action, if there are unresolved issues, such as a special request, requiring action from an approver or administrator. Order Created, if the Shopping Cart satisfies the system workflow, is approved and Orders have been created. Cancelled by the Buyer Rejected by the Approver
Actions	Click an icon to perform an action on the selected item, such as:
		to view and edit the Shopping Cart in the Shopping Cart page
		to make a duplicate of this Shopping Cart (with a new unique identifier) and view it in Shopping Cart page, for submission as-is  or after making changes to the items and quantities. (This action creates a single copy; it does not create a template from which multiple copies can be made.)
		to prepare a version of the Shopping Cart and display it for printing.
		to cancel a submitted (Awaiting Approval or Pending Action) Shopping Cart and remove it from the workflow.
		to delete an un-submitted (Open)
		to view the Shopping Cart History Log of workflow steps  and actions
		to view the Shopping Cart Approval Map, showing all the workflow steps through which the Shopping Cart has passed with explanations and comments.
		to make a duplicate of this Shopping Cart and save it as a template for your personal use.
		to make a duplicate of this Shopping Cart and save it as a template for the use of members of your Buying Organization (you must be granted special permission to do this.)
	If you mouse-over an icon, the browser displays a tool tip containing a few words explaining the action represented by the icon. Icons are not displayed if the indicated action is not available. For example, is not shown beside a Shopping Cart with Order Created status, when it is too late to make changes.
