Are you making temporary or permanent changes?
If you want to make permanent changes, we recommend you make them in the Master Standing Order.
For temporary or one-time changes, do it from a SO/Prebook.
Edit a Prebook from a Standing Order
Go to Prebooks & SOs and select Standing Order Summary.
Click Edit in the Actions column from the Standing Order you want to modify; this opens the Standing Order and the Prebooks associated with it.
Choose the Prebook you wish to modify from the date tabs at the top of the list and modify it.
Click on Save to store the changes.
Choose if you want to replicate the changes to other Prebooks or if you wish to modify only the selected Prebook.
Optional: If you want to replicate the changes, click on Replicate Changes, select the date when the changes stop applying to future Prebooks, and click Save Changes.
When editing SO/Prebooks, take the following statements into account:
Modifying the Truck Date. If you change the Truck Date of a Prebook for another week, and you update the Standing Order; the system will replicate the changes from the Master Standing Order, and the Prebook may become a duplicate order for the same week.
Deleting a Product from a Prebook. Deleting a product from a Prebook does not replicate to other Prebooks. You can place a product on hold or erase it from the Master Standing Order to replicate these changes.
Changing the price list of a Prebook. Standing Orders automatically assign prices based on the active price list when generating Prebooks. You can change the price list of a Prebook generated through a Standing Order from this screen with this process and selecting the price list from the Price List field.
Modifying the Ship Via. If the system has created the Purchase Order for the Prebook, you will not be able to modify the Ship Via of the Prebook. In this case you must modify the Purchase Order.
Edit a Master Standing Order
Go to Prebooks & SOs and Select Standing Order Summary.
Click Edit in the Actions column from the Standing Order you want to modify; this opens the Standing Order and Prebooks associated with it.
Click on the Master tab from the date tabs at the top of the list.
Apply your changes.
Choose if you wish to notify the Vendor of the changes via email.
Click on Save to store the changes.
Select the date when the changes are applied to future Prebooks and click Save Changes. The system will show the ones not modified by the changes.
Click Proceed to confirm the changes.
Changes only affect Purchase Orders that have not been confirmed by the Vendor.
Modifying a Standing Order will change the information on the Prebooks generated from it after the changes. If you want to apply the changes to existing Prebooks generated from the Standing Order, select the most recent date of existing Prebooks as described on step seven.
Color Labeling - Prebook Tabs
The tabs on the Add Prebooks page allow you to navigate between Prebooks when you modify them from a Standing Order. In addition, you can modify several Prebooks simultaneously by using a Master Standing Order or individually by selecting the Prebook you want to change.
These tabs can be one of four colors; described ahead is the meaning of each color:
Blue: The Prebook matches the Master Standing Order.
Dark Blue. Master Standing Order.
Gray: The Prebook is different from the Master Standing Order.
White. Prebook your editing.
Color Labeling - Product List
The item list uses color to indicate the status of each line compared to the Master Standing Order.
Four different colors give you helpful information about the Items in a Prebook:
Gray: Item Held.
Green: Item Added.
Yellow: Item Price or Cost changed.
Red: Item deleted.
If you delete the products from the Master Standing Order, their line will be removed from every Prebook.
