K2K Process for Buyer Companies

With K2K you, the Buyer Company (a wholesaler, for example), will have access to your vendor’s on-hand inventory automatically without having to upload any inventory from them or calculating any pricing. This section will explain the K2K flow for the Buyer Company from the moment an order of K2K products is placed on the e-commerce until that product is confirmed in your Staging Area.

instructions:

 We have already synchronized and published a product called Agapanthus K2K. The e-commerce customer places an order from the E-commerce for this product. Notice that the system generates a Prebook instead of an invoice. If the Order Entry setting "The system will associate the salesperson on the order based on the user that logged into Komet Sales" is enabled, the system will associate the salesperson of the customer to the Prebook, and the salescode, if enabled.

Open

Customers will have the possibility of choosing the Ship Via of the e-commerce orders. If the users selects Direct From the vendor, an indicator next to the Prebook number will inform this.

Once the order has been generated. We can search for it from the Purchase Order Summary Screen by using the Prebook number, or the Vendor Company name.

Notice the PO was automatically approved. An order will be generated in the Vendor Company for you.

Once the Order has been confirmed by the Vendor Company, the products will be added to an AWB which will take the reference number of the invoice or if there is no reference number, the system will create an AWB based on the ship date. The product could be found in the Staging Area.

Once the Order has been confirmed by the Vendor Company, the products will be added to an AWB which will take the reference number of the invoice or if there is no reference number, the system will create an AWB based on the ship date. The product could be found in the Staging Area.

Once the product arrives at the warehouse, and the boxes are scanned, the product will be automatically confirmed in the inventory or automatically billed. (Read Automatic Billing & Allocation Options for further information). Please take into account that if the Default Ship Via Option is Via Grower (directly from the Vendor Company), the products will be automatically confirmed from the Staging Area or billed. To Set up the Ship Via option for a given customer on e-commerce, please read Vendor Availability Ship Via.

info: 

• The labels you can print from the staging area will have the same box codes as the Vendor Company shipping labels and will also have a K2K icon (unless your company has custom labels). This will allow your warehouse staff to identify K2K boxes so they don't have to scan two labels. When scanning the VC labels, the products will be confirmed automatically.

• Box dimensions will be transferred from the Vendor Company automatically. Make sure you, and your vendor have mapped your box codes against the Master Komet Box Codes.

To optimize the K2K process, the box codes will remain the same during the K2K flow. Download here a flowchart of the process.
