Quick Order Entry allows you to enter orders for up to ten different items at the same time. You start a new order by adding the first item.
For information on placing an order from a quote, see Ordering from Quotes.
To use Quick Order Entry, you must already know the specific part numbers you want to order - either manufacturer part number, customer part number, or catalog/model number. Items are added to order carts for the corresponding division and/or source location.
TIPS: Press <Tab> to navigate through the fields in Quick Order Entry. Pressing <Enter> has the same effect as (immediately) clicking the Add to Order button.
At any time, you can also add parts to your order cart from the Catalog Search screens. |
You can use the Save as Template feature to save an order cart, if you want to log out before submitting. For more information on using templates, see Saving Orders with Order Templates.
Click the Part Type arrow and select the type of part number to use when ordering.
This part type will be used for all (up to ten) items.
Type the number for the first product you want to order in the first Part box, then press <Tab>.
Type the quantity to order in the first Quantity box, then press <Tab>.
Order quantities may be rounded upward to coordinate with product box quantity, if applicable. For example, if you specify 19 in the Quantity box for a product sold in boxes of ten, the system will round your order quantity to 20 (two boxes of ten). You are notified immediately on the Place an Order screen, and later in the e-mail confirmation message, when this occurs.
Type the date you need the product in the first Request Date box.
TIP: If you want to use the same request date for several different items, type it in the Default Request Date box. PHconnect then uses this date for the Request Date boxes listed below. You can change the individual dates if necessary. |
NOTE: If you do not type a date in the Request Date box, PHconnect will use the date in the Default Request Date box if specified, or the system default date, for the item. |
To add more items, press <Tab> to navigate to the next item.
Type the number for the product to order in the next available Part box, then press <Tab>.
Type the quantity to order in the corresponding Quantity box, then press <Tab>.
Type the date you need the product in the corresponding Request Date box.
Click Add to Order.
The screen refreshes with your ordered items listed, by Parker division and/or source location, in the order cart area at the top of the screen. The Quick Order Entry section moves down, below the carts, so that you can order more items.
NOTES: If any of the part numbers you entered returns multiple matches, the system lists them and allows you to select which one you want. The default selection is the product that matches exactly.
You cannot add obsolete parts to the order. If a replacement part is available, the system will display the part number and you can enter it in the Part field.
The quantity displayed with the Order Cart link at the top of the page does not update until you click Update Order. |
