New Order Tab
On this tab, you will be creating and editing your orders. This is probably where you will be using WOW the most.

Create A New Order
To create a new order, simply begin by selecting the manufacturer you would like to use. We have provided sample data for you so to start, select "AND" from the drop down box. Select any customer you would like. Note that when you pick a customer from the Bill To box, we will automatically assume you have the same customer as the Ship To. Also, note that when you pick different customers, the Salesperson box changes. This is because we are using the territory code of the customer to automatically select the salesperson. This option is selected on the Options tab. If you do not want this selection automatically, go to the Options tab and deselect this option.

Note that we have created a unique PO number for you at this time. This is based on the current sales person, today’s date, and a sequential number. To understand more about how the PO is created, look at the Employee tab.

If you look in the Rep # box, you will see that we have automatically included the rep number for this particular salesperson. To find out more about how to enter rep numbers, go to the Rep # tab.

By now you will notice that the dates are automatically filled in for you, the salesperson is automatically selected, the PO # has been created and the terms for the manufacturer are selected in order of priority. You can change the terms for this customer by selecting a different option under the terms box.

We have no product currently in this order so go to the Product Tab and select some product with your mouse and then select the Copy Selected Products To New Order button. This will return you to the New Order tab.You should have an order ready to print. Select the Print Preview button underneath the order to see how it looks. If you like how it looks, you can print this order too.

That’s it. You’ve just created your first order.

Saving Your Order
You can save your order with by selecting the Save or Save and Print button. When you save your order, you can re-edit it later or view it again. To look at your saved orders, go to the Review Orders tab.

Keystroke Savers
When you are choosing a customer, you can type the first few letters of the customer name before you hit the down arrow of the customer box. This will automatically position you to the customer whose name begins with the characters you typed. The same thing works on the Manufacturer box, if you type "AS" you will be selecting Asian Strategy.

Manipulating Your Order
You can change the quantity of each line item by using your mouse to select the current default quantity and changing it. Then, simply use your mouse to select another row and your changes will be accepted.

If you know the product number already and want to add it, you can simply select the next blank row (with the "*" on the row) and enter the item number. If it is entered properly, you will see the item description, the default minimum order, the price, the notes (if you have any) and the UPC (if available). If you do not enter the item number correctly (or if it is not currently in the product table) you will see a "Product Not Found" message in the product description field.

The minimum order field at the bottom of the order is the minimum order for this customer. The minimum order may be different for a new or an existing customer. To learn how to modify this, go to the Manufacturer tab.

To cancel your order and start over, use your mouse to select the Cancel button. This will clear your order information but it will leave the customer, manufacturer, etc above.
