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. |

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, 20 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, 20 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, 20 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, 20 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, 20 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 Sample Shippers. Usually, Sample 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 Sample 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, 20 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, 20 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, 20 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:
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, 20 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 |
|
|
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. |
