Order items

The orders section is the first page you will see from the admin section when you are logged in as a store administrator. To view your orders pending in the store you will first of all need to click on “orders”. Once you have clicked onto an order you will be able to see all the items within the order and the customer content.

For those of you that use more than one distributor you can click on the online quantity in stock button which will provide you with information on which distributors sell the items within each order placed. This feature will allow you to make quick and informed business decisions on where to order items from as you will know if the items are in stock, the ETA date, the price and your margin.

The next step of the order process would be to use the drop down box next to each product line within the order and select a distributor to order the goods from. Once you have completed this process and providing you have a credit account with your integrated distributors you can now select “send online”. This will send your order direct to the distributors you have selected for processing. If you do not have a credit account or the distributor does not provide an online XML version you will need to place the order manually and directly with the distributors.

If you have sent your order / orders by using the “send order online” functionality, Nettailer will display a pop up box in the centre of your screen to confirm if you want to send the order. Once you have confirmed to send the Nettailer system will show you a confirmation pop up box that the order has been sent to the distributors EDI system.

If you need to amend an order you can do this up before you send the order. You can select “log in as customer” and amend the order as if you were the customer. Once you have processed an order you can save changes by clicking “Save & Close” Once you have submitted the order at distributor level further information such as the “Order Number”, “Distributor”, Tracking” etc will be stored on the Tab line and added to the order.

Throughout the order process the order status changes; Nettailer will update the customer with the status of their order by email.
