Why can’t the parents change their order?

Updated over a week ago

If a parent reports that they cannot change or cancel an order, there are a few likely reasons — most of which can be diagnosed directly by you as an admin. Here’s how to handle it step by step.


Option 1: The deadline has passed

The most common reason parents cannot change their order is that the daily deadline has already passed.


For Glanmore, the deadline is typically 14:00 noon, Thursday the week before delivery.

After this time:

  • Parents cannot change or cancel orders in the app

  • The date will appear greyed out or locked

  • Only admins can make changes manually via the admin system

Option 2: Check if the order actually exists

Before escalating the issue, always start by checking if the child has an active order placed for the day in question.

How to check:

  1. Log in to admin.kanpla.io

  2. Go to the Overview in the left-sided panel

  3. Use the filters to narrow the search of the order:

    • Date

    • Module

    • Location

  4. Now use the Search bar to search for the name of the child whos order cannot be changed

  5. Check if an order is listed for the day the parent is referring to

If no order is found:

Inform the parent that no order was placed for that day — this is why they are unable to change it.

Option 3: If an order is found, but the parent still can’t see or edit It

Sometimes, the parent may have successfully placed an order, but it didn’t go through to the Coghead (Glanmore) system.

This can happen if there’s a sync issue or delay.

What to do:

  • Confirm that the order appears as active in Kanpla

  • Then, contact Kanpla Support to investigate if the order failed to transfer to Coghead
