Entering Your First Order

The purpose of this chapter is to show you how easy it can be to enter an order. Though you have many options, we’ve broken the process down into eight steps which will give you a good overview.

 

This example will use a method we call Standard Order which speeds you through the ordering process.  Even though we carry a large amount of products, the Standard Order always remembers which of the products you normally order for your customer. It’s a great tool not just for the purpose of making the ordering fast, but it also helps remind you of products that your customer normally orders, which you may have forgotten.

STEP 6. Enter the quantity ordered for each item. You can also use the up/down arrow icons to increase/decrease the quantity. As quantities are entered, the shopping cart to the right shows the ordered items.

STEP 7. Enter the Requested Delivery Date (or use the calendar tool) in the shopping cart area.

 

STEP 8. Click the Complete button in the shopping cart. The order is then sent into our main entrée software and you will receive an email confirming your ordered items.

 

Shopping Cart Options:

The System Administrator can turn on the Case Count option so the Total Cases quantity will be displayed in the shopping cart area.

 

The System Administrator can turn on the Gross Profit option so the GP dollars / percentage displays in the shopping cart area. This allows you to monitor these values in the top of the cart while you are creating an order.

 

The Edit Comment button in the shopping cart allows you to manage comments on the order. You can use the comment area to provide information about an item in your order, order delivery or any other information you need to communicate.

 

 

 

Warnings for Min/Max Weight and Min/Max Amount will be posted in the cart message area if the System Administrator has them enabled.

 

You will be prevented from completing an order only if your Min/Max Weight does not meet these restrictions.

 

Min/Max Amount restrictions will only posts a warning message and does not prevent an order from being completed.
