Effective order management requires you to process a lot of information. The more information you can get from the order grid, the faster you can process orders without having to go to each order separately.
However, some information might be missing. And that's when you need to reindex the Magento 2 order grid.
When to Reindex Order Grid in Magento?
Sometimes, the actual order data and order data displayed in the grid are different. The billing company name is missing, the shipping address is incomplete or the order is not generated in the grid at all.
It confuses the store managers and slows down the process. They are not able to find relevant orders when filtering through them. So, the order fulfilment process becomes inefficient.
How to Reindex Magento 2 Order Grid?
To reindex the order grid, you need developers who can create a custom solution for you (unless you have some technical knowledge to do that on your own).
The simpler solution is to use the Better Magento 2 Admin Order Grid. It already comes with the Magento 2 reindex order grid feature.
So you can reindex the order grid directly from the grid, literally in one click. So just go to Sales > Orders and press the Reindex Grid button.
It will refresh the Magento order grid data, so the valid order information is displayed in the grid.
Magento order grid reindex takes only one click, with no technical knowledge required. So you can be sure all order data is valid and organized. However, that's not it.
Having all the necessary information in front of your eyes also ensures effective order management. So next try to add products to the order grid or set order status colours for any order.
