8 Handling Fulfillment

To access the fulfillment functionality, press Fulfillment/F6 on the Main Options screen. You are prompted to log in. See "Logging In and Out" in Chapter 1 for more information. After logging in, the initial screen that appears is dependent on how orders are implemented in Point-of-Service:


Note:

The till must be open before you can access the Fulfillment functionality. If the till is not open, you are prompted to open the till before you can proceed to the Fulfillment screen.

Processing Orders in the Store

You can pick up, complete, or cancel orders, as well as provide order updates to customers in a timely manner using automated e-mail communication. You can also manage orders, items marked for pickup, and items marked for delivery.

Orders are typically placed over the web by customers requesting items that they will pick up from a chosen store location. Processing an order means locating all requested items from store inventory. Once all the items from an order are retrieved, the order is ready to be picked up by the customer.

Once logged in, the Fulfillment screen displays new orders.

Whenever the order status changes to Filled, Partial, Completed, or Cancelled, an automatic e-mail message is created. The order information is inserted into an e-mail file and sent to the server. The following table lists the parameter that defines the e-mail message sent for each status:

Status Parameter
Filled Order Automatic Email Filled Order
Partial Order Automatic Email For Partial Order
Picked Up Order Automatic Email For Picked Up Order
Cancelled Order Automatic Email For Canceled Order


Note:

The created e-mail messages are stored in the database. Point-of-Service does not send the e-mail messages to customers. The retailer is responsible for sending the e-mail messages. For more information, see the Oracle Retail POS Suite Implementation Guide, Volume 1 - Implementation Solutions.
