How Do I Create an Electronic Purchase Order?

Online orders can be placed with Amazon, Dell, D&H, Ingram Micro and TD Synnex from within QuoteWerks. You can order items from a single order or combine items from multiple QuoteWerks orders into a single distributor order. After the order is placed electronically, the purchase order number, order date, and distributor sales order number will automatically be stored with your QuoteWerks order for reference.

When placing most distributor online orders electronically through QuoteWerks, there is an option that will let you flag the order for manual review and release by a sales rep. This will afford you an opportunity to review the order with your distributor rep and negotiate pricing without the time-consuming process of reading to your sales rep all the part numbers, quantities, ship to location, etc. You can also place a note in the order to ask the sales rep to call you to confirm pricing. No more calling your distributor sales rep only to reach voice mail (understandable - sales reps can't be on the phone with more than one customer at a time) and then have to remember try again later in the day to place the order - or wait for a call back! This is truly the best of both worlds — automation with sales rep service!

Once an order has been placed, order status updates are available under the Purchase Orders and Ordered Items tabs on the Purchasing window.

Users can check on real-time order statuses including line-item shipping status, estimated ship date, ship date, warehouse fulfillment locations, shipping tracking numbers, product serial numbers, and more - all on a single screen in QuoteWerks.
