Reviewing Remote Order Entries

Use the Remote Order Entry Review Queue to track the orders your customers have placed remotely via telephone modem, portable device, e-mail, or Web browser.

When a customer is set up for ROE, your company can designate employees who will be notified whenever a customer logs in, or submits or edits a sales order. The orders are then reviewed in this queue, where they are cleared for processing.

To review remote order entries:

  1. From the Orders > Queues menu, select Remote Order Entry Review to display the Remote Order Entry Review Queue screen.

  2. In the Branch/Territory field, enter the branch or territory you want to review remote orders for. Enter ALL to review orders for all branches and territories.

  3. In the User ID field, enter the user ID of the employee who is assigned to monitor the orders, or leave the field blank to list all orders.

  4. In the Src field, enter the type of remote order you want to see (for example, enter ROE for Remote Order Entry).

  5. Review the following fields:
