Alternate Currency View Screen

Purpose: Use this screen to review the order totals in the alternate currency associated with the order. This screen is available only if you use alternate currency pricing (the Use Alternate Currency Pricing (H89) system control value is selected) and the order is associated with an alternate currency. See Using Alternate Currency Pricing for an overview and required setup.

If the order is not associated with an alternate currency (the order is in the local currency), the order totals on this screen do not display. You can review the order totals in the local currency on the Display Order Summary Screen or the Work with Order/Recap Screen.

An order is associated with an alternate currency if the offer associated with the source code on the order header has a currency code and conversion rate defined, other than the local currency. The local currency is defined in the Local Currency Code (A55) system control value.

The order totals on this screen relate to the current order only. This means that, although the customer may have placed several orders at the same time that will ship to different addresses, the order totals shown relate just to one order.

Currency calculations: The system multiplies the amount in the local currency by the conversion rate defined in the Order Header Extended table to determine the amount in the alternate currency. Likewise, the system divides the amount in the alternate currency by the conversion rate to determine the amount in the local currency.

Local currency to alternate currency: The system uses this calculation when converting the local currency to the alternate currency: local amount x conversion rate = alternate (foreign) amount.

Alternate currency to local currency: The system uses this calculation when converting the alternate currency to the local currency: alternate (foreign) amount / conversion rate = local amount.

How to display this screen: At the Display More Options Screen, select Alternate Currency View.

Inbound emails: Things to note:

- When you forward an email into Order Management System, the system deletes FW: from the beginning of the subject line; however, if the email has been forwarded multiple times, only the first occurrence will be deleted.

- The system renders the text of the subject line in all capital letters.

- The subject line is truncated if it exceeds the maximum length of this field.

- The system converts certain special characters. See Symbol and Special Character Conversion in Emails.

The system deletes the email identifiers from the subject line if translation is successful. For example, a subject line reading FW: COMPANY=27;CUSTOMER=613;ATTACHMENT=N; Where is my order? would be translated to WHERE IS MY ORDER? Even if translation is successful, however, it does not necessarily mean that the email is assigned to a customer; it is possible for the email identifiers to be formatted correctly, but for the values specified to be incorrect or inconsistent.

Work with Customer Profile Screen

Purpose: Use this screen to create or view the customer's demographic profile. This helps you gather as much information as possible about the customer, categorize the customer, target the customer for specific promotions or catalog mailings, and include the customer’s name in customer lists you sell to other companies.

You define customer profile categories, such as age, income, or gender, and the valid values for each category through the Work with Profile Categories function. See Setting Up Customer Profiles (WPFL).

When you first advance to this screen for a customer: When you first advance to this screen for a customer for which you have not yet defined demographic data:

• If a default response has been defined for a profile category, the system defaults the response to the Data field.

• If a default response has not been defined for a profile category, the system leaves the Data field blank until you enter data for the field.

Order API: You can define demographic data for a customer on an order received through the Generic Order Interface (Order API); see the Profile element in the Inbound Order XML Message (CWORDERIN).

Inbound customer: You can define demographic data for a customer through the Generic Customer API; see the CustProfile element in the Inbound Customer Message (CWCustomerIn).

How to display this screen:

select a Customer Profile at the Display More Options Screen;

• select Profile for a customer at a Work with Customer screen (see Selecting Customers);

• select Customer Profile at the Create or Change Cust Sold To screen (see Creating and Updating Sold-to Customers (WCST)).

To auto-display this screen in order entry: The Work with Customer Profile screen opens automatically in order entry if you need to collect information in a demographic profile category flagged as mandatory for the sold to customer on the order. Note: If the Alternate ID Required for Displaying Customer Profile (K87) system control value is selected, the Work with Customer Profile screen opens automatically only if an alternate customer number is defined for the sold to customer on the order.

To auto-display this screen in order maintenance: The Work with Customer Profile screen opens automatically in order maintenance if the Prompt for Mandatory Demographics in Order Maintenance (E60) system control value is selected. Note: If the Alternate ID Required for Displaying Customer Profile (K87) system control value is selected, the Work with Customer Profile screen opens automatically only if an alternate customer number is defined for the sold to customer on the order.

Valid values are:

Yes = This is a mandatory profile category.

No = This is not a mandatory profile category.

Work with Email by Customer Sold To Number Screen

Purpose: Use this screen to review emails associated with a customer.

About emails: The Correspondence History table stores outbound and inbound emails related to an order, customer (including sold-to, ship-to, and bill-to customers), vendor or purchase order. You can associate an email with a customer by indicating the customer number when you forward the email into the system, or by specifying the customer number at the Change Email Screen; also, the system can assign the email based on a matching email address. See Email Repository Overview for more information.

Outbound emails: The Write Outbound Email to Email Repository (H99) system control value controls whether to store header information for outbound email notifications, or for the Outbound Email XML Message (CWEmailOut) if specified for the notification type.

How to display this screen:

Select Email for Customer Sold To at the Display More Options Screen, or Customer Email Correspondence at the More Customer Sold To Options Screen

Inbound emails: Things to note:

- When you forward an email into Order Management System, the system deletes FW: from the beginning of the subject line; however, if the email has been forwarded multiple times, only the first occurrence will be deleted.

- The system renders the text of the subject line in all capital letters.

- The subject line is truncated if it exceeds the maximum length of this field.

- The system converts certain special characters. See Symbol and Special Character Conversion in Emails.

The system deletes the email identifiers from the subject line if translation is successful. For example, a subject line reading FW: COMPANY=27;CUSTOMER=613;ATTACHMENT=N; Where is my order? would be translated to WHERE IS MY ORDER? Even if translation is successful, however, it does not necessarily mean that the email is assigned to a customer; it is possible for the email identifiers to be formatted correctly, but for the values specified to be incorrect or inconsistent.

 

Outbound emails: Possible subject lines for outbound email notifications are:

- BACKORDER NOTIFICATION

The messages for a ship-to customer change are stored with the sold-to customer messages. See Reviewing Customer Address Changes.

Membership cancellations: The system writes a message, such as Memship Cancel Conf to eroosevelt@example.com. to the Customer Note table when you cancel a customer membership and generate the membership cancellation notification email. The note is written even if the system generates the Outbound Email XML Message (CWEmailOut) rather than an actual message, or if the email cannot be relayed if, for example, there is a problem with the destination email address.

Display Order Totals Window

Purpose: Use this window to review the total charges across all shipping addresses on an order, which is the initial order plus any recipient orders.

A recipient order is an order that is placed by and paid by a customer, but will ship to another address.

This window provides some basic order information (order number, number of recipients, prepaid amount, and current order balance), and breaks out the order charges by individual charge, namely:

• Merchandise

• Freight

• Additional freight

• Tax

• Handling

• Additional charges

The individual order charges for each recipient order “roll up” to this screen and are summarized in the Total bucket. This allows you to determine the total amount the customer will be charged.

The system updates this window as the customer places additional recipient orders. The system updates the Order Totals fields as you change any single order by adding or deleting items on an order or as you add additional recipient orders. Initially, the fields on the Order Totals pop-up window are blank, but are updated automatically as you enter the order.

How to display this screen: Select for Ord Totals (All Recips) at the Display More Options Screen.

This window differs from the running order totals on the order entry screens because it represents the accumulated totals for all shipping addresses on the order. The totals on the individual orders, however, represent the totals for the current order only.

About recipient orders: The Order Totals window accumulates the totals for the original order and any additional orders with different shipping addresses entered using Accept/Add Rcp.

Recipient orders use the same order number; however, the suffix attached to the Order# field indicates an alternate shipping address -- signifying a recipient order. For example, the original order is order# 1255 - 1. The system adds “- 1" to the order number to indicate the number of shipping addresses. The shipping number increases by 1 with each additional order you place.

Still using the example above, the system assigns order# 1255 - 2 to the order with a different shipping address. As a result, the system groups all related orders under the same order number, but creates separate order records for historical and order management purposes.

Field

Description

Order#

A unique number assigned by the system to identify an order.

Numeric, 8 positions; display-only, assigned by the system.

# of recipients

The number of shipping addresses on the current order. Each shipping address represents a recipient, which is the person or company for whom an order is placed.

For example, when a customer places an order for herself only, there is one shipping address on the order and only one recipient. However, if the customer places an order for herself and for another person there are 2 recipients on this order -- the initial order plus a “related” orders.

The initial order always is recipient number 1. You may add up to 999 recipients to an order.

Note: The ship-to suffix (in an unlabeled field to the right of the Order# field) is initially set to1 to indicate the first recipient order; the system increments this field by a 1 for each additional recipient order entered using Accept/Add Rcp.

Numeric, 3 positions; display-only, updated by the system.

Merchandise

The total value of merchandise across all recipient orders, which is the item price multiplied by the quantity ordered. This total does not include freight, additional charges (such as gift wrap or special handling), tax, or handling.

The system updates this field as items are added to or canceled from each order.

Numeric, 9 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

Freight

The total charge for shipping all orders. The system performs this calculation based on the freight method defined for the source code on the each order. This total may depend on the quantity or weight of items ordered or on the order as a whole.

The system updates this field as items are added to or canceled from each order.

This field does not include any additional charges associated with shipping this item (see the Additional Freight field for these totals).

Shipping charges will not be included in the order totals (and the Freight field will be blank) if the Calc freight field on all recipient orders is unselected to indicate that freight will not be calculated for these orders.

Working with Offers (WOFR) discusses each freight method and freight calculation.

Numeric, 7 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

Additional freight

The total dollar amount for additional freight charges on all orders, above and beyond the regular shipping charges.

Additional freight charges for shipper

Additional freight charges for a shipper are defined in the ship via record. For example, additional shipping charges may be added to an order being delivered by an overnight shipper.

Numeric, 7 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

Tax

The total sales tax on all recipient orders.

The value in the Tax field is based on the value of the merchandise on the order, and may also include tax on freight and handling. Tax is not accumulated in the Tax field on orders subject to VAT; instead, a hidden tax is included in the order detail line. See the description of the Tax Included in Price (E70) system control value.

Numeric, 7 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

Handling

The total charge for gift wrapping or special handling.

What is special handling?

Special handling is any type of item personalization, such as monogramming, alterations, engraving, etc.

The SKU/Offer record controls whether the item may be personalized and defines the special handling charge if special handling is allowed.

Can any item be gift wrapped?

The SKU/Offer record controls whether an item may be gift wrapped and defines the gift wrapping charge if gift wrapping is allowed.

This field will be blank if none of the items on the order will be gift wrapped or personalized.

Numeric, 7 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

Additional charges

The total extra charges added to each recipient order.

Note: Another type of additional charge is a credit that may be added to the order during order maintenance.

Additional charges may be added to the order in a variety of ways, for a variety of reasons, including:

1. An additional service charge defined for the source code, based on the dollar value of merchandise on the order.

2. An additional shipping charge defined for the item in the Shipper/Item record.

3. An additional charge entered manually through Charges.

Each type of additional charge is described briefly below.

Source code additional charges

An additional charge may be added to an order, depending on whether service charges have been defined for the source code. In this case, a record exists in the service charges table for the source code. The system will add an additional charge to the order based on the total dollar value of merchandise.

 

Shipper/item additional charges

An additional charge may be defined for an item, depending on the shipper you select to deliver the item.

For example, a special shipper/item record may exist for a desk when it will be delivered by Acme Shippers. Usually, Acme Shippers charges $8.50 to deliver most items, but, because the desk is oversized and heavy, the customer will be charged $25.00 for delivery.

A record exists on the system in the Shipper/ Item table that specifies this information. The $25.00 additional shipping charge will be added to the order automatically in the Additional charges field when the customer orders the desk and requests delivery through Acme Shippers.

 

Manually entered additional charges

You may add any type of additional charge to an order by selecting Charges. A pop-up window appears for you to select an additional charge code and specify the additional charge. This allows you to add additional charges to an order at any time.

Additional charges are defined in and validated against the Additional Charges table; see Establishing Additional Charge Codes (WADC). You may define additional charge codes for any reason, such as a store-restocking fee, duty fee, long- distance telephone charges, etc.

This field will be blank if no additional charges exist on any order.

Numeric, 7 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

Total

The sum of all charges for all recipient orders, including: merchandise, freight, additional freight, tax, handling, and additional charges.

This is the amount that the customer owes for the entire order. The order total will be adjusted by the system if the order or customer is eligible for any discounts.

The system increases or decreases the order totals as orders are added or changed.

Numeric, 11 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

Prepaid amount

The total dollar amount prepaid on the order by the customer on check. This field is blank if no prepayment was received or if the customer will pay by credit card.

This is the grand total of all prepayments for each recipient order, because you must define a method of payment for each order placed.

Numeric, 11 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

Balance

The balance due for all recipient orders, calculated by subtracting the value in the Prepaid amount field from the value in the Total field.

A zero balance? If the balance is zero:

• the customer has prepaid for all recipient orders and there is no balance due from the customer, OR

• the order represents a pre-order quote and not a regular order; see Entering Pre-Order Quotes.

A negative balance? If the balance is negative (such as 54.99-), there is a balance due on the order that will be charged to the customer's credit card.

A positive balance? If the balance is positive, the customer has overpaid on the prepayment amount with a check.

Numeric, 11 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only, updated by the system.

The status of the order in relation to the balance is:

Balance

Why?

The next step is...

Zero

• The customer has prepaid for all recipient orders with a check, OR

• The order represents a pre-order quote and not a regular order; see Entering Pre-Order Quotes

• The customer has paid what was owed. No further activity required, OR

• At the customer’s request, convert the quote to a regular order; see Converting Quotes to Orders.

Negative

The customer has not prepaid all or part of the order. The customer owes you money (balance due).

Charge the customer's credit card.

Positive

The customer has overpaid for all recipient orders. You owe the customer some type of credit.

Credit the customer's account the overpayment amount. The type of credit issued is determined by the payment type used on the order or the value in the Alt refund type field in the Pay Type table if you cannot credit the original pay type. Ultimately, the system determines how you will credit the customer for the overpayment.

Work with Subscriptions Screen

Purpose: Use this screen to view the subscription items ordered by a customer. The system adds a record to this table automatically when you generate a pick slip for a subscription item. This table provides the required information to fulfill or modify the customer's subscription.

This option is not available in order entry or maintenance, only standard order inquiry.

Definition: A subscription item is:

• identified by a selected Subscription field in the Item record

• defined as a non-inventory item in the Item record (selected Non-inv field)

• defined further in the Item Subscription table in terms of the current issue, frequency of issues, etc.

• express billed (the entire amount) and closed immediately by the system when you generate a pick slip for the order

For more information: For more information on generating an extract file of customers to receive subscriptions, or on purging this file, see Processing and Purging Subscriptions.

How to display this screen: At the Display More Options Screen, Select for the Subscriptions option. You can also display this screen by selecting Subscriptions for a customer on any Work with Customers screen (see Selecting Customers), or selecting Subscriptions at the Change Customer or Create Customer screen (see Creating and Updating Sold-to Customers (WCST)).
