1. Go to Prebooks and SO's, if there is an existing prebook that will be edited, click on Prebook Summary, find the prebook by entering the number and hit enter.
   
   
2. Once the Prebook is found go to the Actions column and click on Edit.
   
   
3. If a new Prebook is going to be created click on Add Prebook enter the details of the prebook and follow the steps below.

6. To add the product to the prebook there are two options: 
   
   
   • The first option is entering the information into the blank fields with the keyboard and hitting the enter key at the end to finish or by clicking on the Add link. The system will automatically convert the units into boxes using the default product packs that are set by the vendor. Additionally, the system will suggest the number of available boxes based on the product packs.
     
     

   
   
   

   • The second option is by going under the Actions column and clicking on View, and entering the information in the popup window.

   • Vendor Name: the name of the vendor the product comes from.
   • Available Units: the total amount of units available for any salesperson to add to any prebook.
