10. Processing Status – it displays values defined in the ERP system. In order to change a processing status, the user needs to have relevant permissions. A status may be changed in unconfirmed, confirmed, and pending orders.

11. Pickup Point – it makes it possible to select the order’s pickup point from among the available options:

  • Store to Door Delivery – it contains the addresses of a customer selected in the document, with a possibility to add a new address with the use of the button [Add Address]. If there is a secondary customer different than the primary one selected in the document, displayed addresses are retrieved from the secondary customer’s form. After the confirmation of entered address details, the application returns to the order form, and the [Pickup Point] button displays the name of a customer whose pickup address has been selected. If the customer is changed or if the secondary customer is deleted, the [Pickup Point] button is cleared.
  • In-Warehouse Pickup – it contains the addresses of warehouses defined as pickup points available to the POS workstation. The application first presents addresses assigned to a center to which the POS workstation belongs.
  • In–Store Pickup – it contains the addresses of centers defined as pickup points available to the POS workstation. The application first presents addresses assigned to a center to which the POS workstation belongs.
  • Customer addresses defined as pickup points – selecting such a tile displays addresses defined as pickup points available to the POS workstation and associated with a customer whose name is displayed on the tile
Selecting a pickup point
Note
Pickup points can be defined in the ERP system.

The Select Pickup Point window contains a filter enabling the user to search by a pickup point’s name and address (city, street, zip code). The field Selected Pickup Point displays a currently selected pickup point. The [Clear] button allows the user to remove a selected pickup point. A pickup point may be changed until the order is confirmed.

12. Payment Status – it displays values defined in the ERP system. In order to change a payment status, the user needs to have relevant permissions. A status may be changed in unconfirmed, confirmed, and pending orders.

13. Form – it is set as the default payment form of a customer selected in the document, with a possibility to change it. If the customer’s default payment form is not available on the POS workstation, the application sets a payment form of the Cash type assigned to the workstation. The field is editable.

14. Due Date – it displays the default due date of a customer selected in the document. The field is editable.

15. Expected Date – it displays the order’s expected date

16. Processing at Pickup Point – it specifies whether the Process at pickup point parameter has been selected in the ERP system. Available options include:

  • No – the order is to be processed outside the POS center and the customer will collect the ordered package (together with a generated receipt/invoice) at the POS pickup point
  • Yes – the order is to be processed by the POS center. The order will be prepared based on items stored in a warehouse belonging to the POS center and relevant sales documents will be generated (processing the order will decrease the store’s stock levels)

If the Process at pickup point parameter is selected in a sales order, it is possible to:

  • Generate a receipt from the SO
  • Generate an invoice from the SO
  • Open or close the SO
  • Cancel the SO
  • Use a voucher
  • Pick the order
Note
It is possible to generate an advance sales invoice and change a delivery status or payment status regardless of whether the Process at pickup point parameter is selected or not.

17. Attributes – it displays attributes assigned to the document type

The form of a new sales order contains the following buttons:

  • [Park] – it saves the document as unconfirmed to enable its completion later or on another workstation
  • [Confirm] – it confirms the document
  • [Print] – it prints the document (hidden by default)
  • [Coupons] – it displays discount coupons
  • [Calculate Promotions]/[Promotions] – it calculates/deletes bundle promotions
  • [Confirm and Generate ASI] – it generates an advance invoice after confirming the order
Example
At a homeware store XYZ, a customer would like to buy a kitchen table from the display. At the point of sale, it turns out that there are no other available resources of this product in the store’s warehouse. The customer does not want to buy the product from the display, so she decides to order it from another store. In order to issue a sales order, the operator selects the buttons [Add] → [Order] on the list of sales orders and quotes. Next, he adds the item Kitchen table and defines the pickup point as Store to Door Delivery. Since the customer does not have an account in the store, the operator selects the buttons [Pickup Point] → [Store to Door Delivery] → [Add Address]. After filling in the address and saving changes, the operator fills in remaining fields in the document, without changing the Undefined customer.

Recording additional information about reservations

If a sales order contains subitems originating from a foreign warehouse, i.e. a warehouse unavailable within the center with the POS Agent service, additional information is recorded in the course of the following processes:

  • Opening and editing a sales order – if at least one subitem originates from a warehouse that is not available within a given center, the following notification is displayed on the POS workstation: “Note! Some of the warehouses defined for the order’s items are unavailable within this center. Saving changes after opening the order will automatically update the selected warehouse to those available in this store“.
  • Canceling or closing a sales order – all reservations for subitems in the warehouse available within the center that have been saved by the POS Agent service are released
  • Generating a receipt/sales invoice to a sales order document – if the document contains at least one subitem unavailable within the center, the following notification is displayed on the POS workstation: “Before starting to process the order, it is necessary to set available warehouses for all the order’s items. If warehouses are not modified manually, saving the document will automatically set appropriate warehouses for items. Would you like to open the selected order?“.
