eoTablet Order Entry with explanations.

eoTablet Order Entry menu explanation.

The Order Entry option on EoTablet is used similarly to the order entry screens on both eoMobile and in the backend system. Here, it is possible to make a pre-sell order for the selected customer. This order is sent to the Order Tracker after a full sync.

In March 2010, changes were made so that it was possible to show retail UPC codes in a column. Changes were also made to highlight both Adds and Cuts in recent orders.

It is possible to Hold an order by taping the command button Hold on the menu bar. This ability, will not remove zero-quantity items on the invoice; but instead leave these items so that the user may return to the invoice and complete it at a later time. Held orders will show a red "On Hold" on the customer list, which can be tapped to re-open the order. It is also possible to reopen a held order by selecting the customer and tapping Pre-sell. The order may also be re-opened through the recap screen. The user may perform the upload-only operation even if there are orders on hold.

In July 2010, changes were made so that eoTablet could sort lines on an invoice. To sort the items on an invoice, click on either the Description or Prod # grid headers. Note lines stay below the item they were below before sorting, and a note line at the top of an invoice stays there when sorted.

In June 2012, changes were made allowing a scanner to be used for product entry.

Retail Prices

This page outlines how to show, hide, and edit the Retail Prices on the Pre-Sell handheld. This information is also available for Download Here.

Retail price lists can be created in the backend system and then attached to the customer through the Records>Customer>Records Retail Prices Panel; however, sometimes the selected customer may not have any retail prices populated in the column because a Retail Price List is not assigned to them.

As such, Retail prices can also be added and edited during a Pre-sell order. The edits are then sent to the backend system during a full sync and populate the Override column in Records>Customer>Records Retail Prices Panel. During the next order for the customer, the new retail prices will be shown. Pre-sell Users can only edit the retail prices if the permission “May Edit Retail Prices on Mobile Devices” on the Records>Employee>Records Permissions Panel and the checkbox “Allow Mobile Device Users To Maintain Retail Prices For This Customer” on the Records>Customer>Records Retail Prices Panel is checked.

Previously, the retail prices column was not color coded. Now, if the price is an overridden, it is displayed in red. If it is a price from a retail price list (not overridden) it is displayed in green. Also, if there is a retail listed price and the user clears the override, then the default list price will now display.

In December 2009, changes were made to add a retail prices override screen. For more information, see Handheld - Retail Prices.

Build-To Levels Sample

Added with the Build-to Plugin, the build-to levels are setup in the backend system through the Customer Records Build-To Panel. These levels may be edited through the pre-sell screen on the Salesperson handheld.

The Build-to plugin saves a pre-seller a considerable amount of time while entering orders using a handheld. Within eoStar, desired inventory quantities can be entered for each product. When a pre-seller enters a count for a customer via their handheld, the appropriate field will suggest an order quantity by using the build-to value that was entered for the product. For example, if the build-to value for product # 8764 is 5 and the customer has a count of 3, then the quantity field will be populated with a suggested order quantity of 2 when the Auto-Calc QTY menu option is selected. The suggested order quantity can be overridden.

Additionally, it is possible to edit the build-to levels. For example, if the count for product # 8764 is 3, and the quantity is 4, then the build-to level may be changed to 7 when the Auto-Calc Build-To menu option is selected.

With the creation of build-to levels in the backend, the build to column will be available to be viewed instantly on the handheld. To view this column, tap the star menu, and then Customize layout. Select the box labeled BLD.

Records>Products>Brand Families

This feature is added with the addition of the Beer/Wine Plugin. Brand families are a way of assigning territories based on large sets of brands in eoStar. Brand families are used in ION Reports where it is possible to isolate information based on both brand families and brands.

Product brands can be assigned to a Brand Family through the Brand's Beer Wine Panel. Multiple brands can be in a brand family. In order for a customer to purchase the products within the brand family, they should be assigned that brand family through the Customer Beverage Panel. This will affect the customer's list of available products for purchase on the Customer Records Can Buy Panel.
