Deco Order - Refers to a transaction that was created using eXtendOrders, as opposed to those entered using native NetSuite or other order entry tools
Item / Deco [sub]tab - Refers to the subtab in NetSuite where you use the Order Configurator.
Order Imprint Configuration (OIC) - An OIC stores the item and decoration (imprint) details on a transaction or item record for a order configuration which has been entered and saved.
Main Item - Each OIC is associated with a Main Item or Blank Item. The Main Item for an OIC refers to which item it is associated with.
Add Items or Choose Multiple Button - Refers to the "Add Items" / "Edit Items" button on the Item / Deco subtab where you can pick multiple items at the same time.
Item Vendor or PO Vendor - The Vendor field on the Item / Deco subtab will map to NetSuite’s "PO Vendor" column field on the line items. Sometimes it is referenced regarding purchase order (PO) generation as a PO will not be generated if an Item Vendor / PO Vendor is not defined.

Save Configuration - The "Save Configuration" button will save any changes to your currently-selected OIC record. This button can be found on Order Configurator.
Add Deco Line - This button will add a new Decoration OIC to your currently-selected Main Item. (such as for adding a second imprint location to an item).
New Item - This button creates a new Item / Decoration line for configuring an additional Main Item.
Create Lines - This button processes all the configured OIC records on the Sales Order/Purchase Order and adds the appropriate line items to the item sublist in NetSuite. This process is often referred to as “spinning the lines” or “respinning the lines” since the process removes existing line items from the Sales Order/Purchase Order and then reprocesses and repopulates the data based on any updates to associated OIC records from the Item / Deco subtab.
V2C Shipping Information - Refers to shipment fields which are from the Vendor to the Customer (V2C). Vendor to Customer Ship Date, In Hands Date, Address, Shipping Method, Shipping Account.

“Spinning the Lines” or “Respinning the Lines” - Refers to the Create Lines button. The process removes existing line items from the Sales Order/Purchase Order and then reprocesses and repopulates the data based on any updates to associated OIC records from the Item / Deco subtab. This term is used when changes need to be made to an existing order. You would update the OIC records on the Item / Deco tab for the required changes, and the “respin” the lines (click the Create Line Items button) for your changes to be written to the line items.
“Preconfig” or "Preconfigured Item" - Refers to an item with predefined, specified decoration options, created to quickly capture configured Sales Order or Purchase Order item information. This saves time as you won't need to re-enter configuration details on every order and it can be automatically added to the order's OICs from the preconfigured item's OIC.
