How to Limit Maximum Orders for a Vendor

✅ Purpose:

To control the number of active/in-progress orders a vendor can handle at a time, ensuring they are not overloaded and improving pickup success rates.

👥 Who’s Involved:

Ops Executive: Updates the max lead (order) limit for the vendor.
Vendor (indirectly): Will see only that many leads available at once.

🪜 Step-by-Step Process:

Step 1: Open All Vendors

Vendors → All Vendors

Use the search bar to find the specific vendor by name, email, or ID.

Step 2: Select the Vendor

Click the vendor’s name to open their profile.
On the right, you’ll see their full details — including:

- Name
- Phone & Email
- Credits
- Devices Assigned
- Area Coverage
- 🔢 Max Leads

Step 3: Update Max Leads Limit

Locate the “Max Leads” field (between Credits and Vendor Type).
Click the number (e.g., currently 2) and change it to the desired limit:

- 👉 Best practice: keep new/inactive vendors at 2–3
- 👉 High-performing vendors can handle 5–7

✅ The system auto-saves or provides a “Save”/“Update” button depending on your backend setup.

Step 4: Verify Limit

Ensure the updated value reflects in the field.
Vendor will now only be able to pick or be auto-assigned up to this many simultaneous orders.

🧠 Why This Matters:

Scenario	Max Leads
New vendor	2–3
Vendor with recent delays	1–2
Proven vendor	5–7
Under investigation	0 (Temporarily pause leads)
