Dealer order to delivery

Quote a dealer, review credit, accept the order, release the route and record the delivery.

Step by step

  1. Quote dealer Sales Representative

    The Sales Representative prepares the quote from the active price list in the dealer's currency and unit. A discount or price below the minimum net price is approved by the Sales Manager before the quote is sent, and the dealer's acceptance evidence is kept on the quote.

    • Priced offer sent and accepted
    • Updates Quotes, Quote lines, Price lists
  2. Review dealer credit Finance Manager

    The order's credit review compares current exposure plus the proposed increase with the dealer's credit limit. Within the limit, the order proceeds. Above it, the Finance Manager approves or rejects a bounded credit exception.

    • Exposure checked; exception decided if needed
    • Updates Credit reviews, Approvals
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  3. Accept sales order Sales Manager

    The Sales Manager approves the submitted order revision as an order acceptance decision. Accepted quantities, net value and the original promise dates are frozen, and stock is reserved for eligible lines.

    • Order accepted; stock reserved
    • Updates Sales orders, Sales order lines, Inventory reservations
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  4. Release delivery route Warehouse Manager

    • Updates Delivery routes, Route stops, Approvals
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  5. Dispatch and deliver Warehouse Operator

    The Warehouse Operator picks the reserved quantity, dispatches the shipment with evidence and records each delivery attempt with accepted, refused, failed and damaged quantities. Title transfers at dispatch or at delivery according to the order's title rule.

    • Stock issued; title and delivery recorded
    • Updates Pick tasks, Deliveries, Delivery lines, Delivery attempts, Delivery results

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • An order is accepted on an old credit review after the dealer's balance has changed. Re-run the review when the source data changes.
  • A route is released with a stop whose shipment has nothing ready to dispatch. Check ready scope before release.
  • A partial delivery is recorded as delivered in full, so the invoice bills more than the dealer received.
