Purchase Management (Continued)

View Shopping Cart will show a vendor the products they have selected and added to their cart but have not yet purchased. The vendor can proceed to the checkout part of the program, or they can continue to shop the supplier catalogues for more items.

From the View Shopping Cart page select Confirm These Quantities to continue to the checkout. If the quantities are correct select Create Order to view purchase order form.

Complete the purchase order form and select the Add Selected Items to This Order button. On the following page review the purchase order and select the Submit Order button to complete the order and send it to the supplier.

View Order Status is a tracking function that follows a purchase order from submission to receipt. It displays a chart that lists a vendor's purchase orders and shows whether the order has been submitted, approved, received by the supplier, shipped, received by the customer or if the purchase order is on back order.

The order status chart is color-coded. The green check mark indicates the successful completion of part of the order process, The red R means that the order has been rejected. This will sometimes happen if an order has incorrect information, or the buyer may not be approved to create that order. The gold P indicated a pending step in the order process. These are steps that may require correction, approval, or the step that is pending may not be complete yet. As soon as a pending step is completed or corrected the gold P will be replaced with a green check mark.
