Exporting Orders is easier if you have imported the order guide. Then you have the Vendor item codes for the order, which allows for a smoother transfer of data. For more information on importing Order Guides, click here.
You can send your orders to your Vendors in CostGuard. Sending orders electronically avoids miscommunications when you leave the order on a sheet of paper for sales representative, or call your order in. Sending electronically also helps to avoid substitutions for your key Inventory items, as you choose what you want to buy.
Before using the Order feature in Vendor Transport, talk to your Vendors. You need to know their preferences for canceling an order once it is in their system. You also need to know how they want you to handle add-ons, or additional items you wish to add after you have sent the main order. Have your sales rep show you how to access their confirmation screen. This screen will show you what items they are out of, and the suggested substitutes. Each wholesaler handles these crucial procedures differently.
