Why one order ranks above another

The board has one fixed order. You do not pick a sort. Hunter puts the orders that suit you at the top. A line above the list says so. It reads "At the top: parts you have won or said you can get". It ends with the ones that fit what you sell, or that fit your business profile.

What moves an order up

What moves an order down

• The order counts items in a pack, and you never supplied the part. The count is easy to get wrong.
• The unit or the quantity is missing.
• The order has no clear acquisition code. See Why price, unit, acquisition code, or history is unavailable.

Hunter lists complete orders first: those with a clear code and a price.

What the card says

Each card has a line that says why it is there. Examples:

• "You have supplied this exact part before."
• "You said you can get this one."
• "This is the kind of thing you sell."

Example

Two orders are for the same kind of filter. You supplied the first one last year. It ranks first. The second one has no price history, so it ranks lower.

What the ranking cannot know

• Hunter does not hide an order because of the rank. It only moves it.
• An order where you clicked No under Can you get this part? stays on the board. It goes to the bottom of your list, and the card says "You said you cannot get this one."
• The rank does not mean that DLA lets you quote. See Check whether DLA lets you quote an order.

✅ What to do next: Tell Hunter what you sell. See Tell Hunter which parts or product categories you sell.
