Know Which Prebooks Are Associated with a Standing Order
The system allows users to quickly identify which Prebooks have been generated from a given Standing Order. To do this, go to the Actions column and click on View Prebooks.
Once you click on View Prebooks, the system will take you to Prebooks Summary where you will see the Prebooks generated by the Standing Order chosen and will automatically open the detail of the first SO generated according to the filters.
Standing Orders for the Future Sales customers do not have this option available since those orders do not generate prebooks.

Standing Order Change Notifications
When you perform some actions in a Standing Order (Delete, Cancel or Edit Vendors and Costs), you might inform your vendors. The system allows you to notify them by email.
To enable email notifications, do the following instructions:
Go to Setup and select Vendors.
Go to the Actions column for a given vendor and click on Edit.
Click on the Contacts tab.
Enter the information of the contact to be notified
Check the box E-mail POs, and click on Save to finish.
After setting up, the next step is to activate this option for your company or location. Enabling this option means that the system will notify the vendor whenever a line is added, edited or deleted in an existing PO (provided that it has a vendor assigned), as well as when the truck days or the vendor are modified. However, before emailing the vendor, the system will ask for confirmation, which you can skip if desired. This notification includes products with breakdown information.
To forward the email sent to vendors to additional recipients and provide a contact email for any vendor inquiries, access the Setup menu, click on Settings, and select Standing Order Settings. From there, you can enter the desired email address in the SO Changes Notifications field to receive notifications regarding any changes, and in the Reply Notifications To field to receive replies to any vendor questions.
