You can immediately send an order to a vendor, directly from the Eclipse B2B Commerce screen. Send an order after you perform an inquiry, and are satisfied with the vendor's product availability and price. The system sends the order to the vendor using the document type appropriate for the B2B application you are running, Eclipse B2B Commerce, IDMS XML, or Business Connect XML.
Specify whether to ship the order direct to your customer or to your warehouse.
To send an order to a B2B vendor:
Display the character-based system.
Note: The B2B Commerce functionality has not been incorporated into Solar Eclipse as of this release.
From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry screen.
Verify that the desired product information displays on the Eclipse B2B Commerce screen.
Use the Send Order hot key to order the product procurement from the selected vendor.
The P/O Type list displays.
Indicate how you want the product shipped by selecting one of the following shipping methods:
