The Order Window

Opening or creating a new Order opens the Order window to view, modify, or enter details of an order.

Creating an order within the Windows App does not actually place the order with Awana Clubs International, but can assist in placing the order.

Order Information

The general information about the order is located just below the toolbar and includes:

•	Club Year - defaults to the current club year but can be changed. The Inventory's Order grid can be filtered on the Club Year to list only orders within the selected club year.

•	Order Date - defaults to the current date but can be changed.

•	Purchase Order, Order Method, Shipping Method, Vendor Order #, Invoice # - details for the order.

The Shipping Method values are customizable under Admin > System Settings > Generic Lookups > Shipping Methods. Set a default for the Order Method and the Shipping Method under Admin > Club Info > Supply Order - Default Values.

•	Order Status - defaults to Open when a new order is created. Options include: Open, Submitted, Received, or Closed. The status determines what functionality is available. See the Line Items section below for details on changes based on status.

•	Submitted date - set automatically when Order Status set to Submitted, but can be changed.

•	Comments - notes to print on the order form. This is useful if the order is mailed or e-mailed.

•	Invoice Paid - indicates the invoice was paid. Enter additional details under Payment Reference.

•	Notes - additional information related to the order that does not need to be printed on the form.

•	Sales Tax and/or Shipping/Handling - enter amount(s). The Total is automatically calculated.

Contact and Ship To Information

The default Contact and Ship To information used on most orders should be set under Admin > Club Info > Supply Order - Default Values. To use different contact and shipping information on the current order, click Edit Contact Info to display a dialog for setting those values.

Line Items

The line item grid behaves differently depending on the Order Status value as follows:

1.	Open - indicates the order has not yet been placed. This is the default when the order is created. Line items can be added to the order. Each item should have a line item entry in the grid. The following tools are used while the Order is Open to add the line items:

Icon

Action

Description

New Line Item

Creates a new row. Select from the drop-down list or type an Item Number or Description. Update the Expense Category and Qty Ordered fields if needed. Line #, Pkg Qty, Cost, and Extension are filled automatically.

	The Item Number or Description must exist in the Inventory. The list filters as you type. If no match is found, a Warning dialog appears.
	Changing the Cost value in the line item changes the Cost in the Item's record also!

Save Line Item

Saves the changes to the Line Item.

Delete Line Item

Removes the selected Line Item from the Open Order.

New Inventory Item

Opens a blank Inventory Item Window to create a new item if an item does not exist that needs to be added to an order. Once the item is created, then click the New Line Item button to add it to the order.

Open Inventory Item

Opens the selected item in the The Inventory Item Window in order to see more details.

Grid Tools

Lists actions related to the grid such as: saving or resetting a grid layout, or exporting data.

2.	Submitted - indicates the order has been placed. Setting this status fills in the Submitted date. It prevents line items from being added, changed or deleted.

Received - indicates the order has arrived. This status adds Rcvd, Qty Rcvd and Qty on B/O (Quantity on back order) columns to the grid. As an item is marked Rcvd, the Qty Rcvd defaults to the Qty Ordered and the Qty on B/O defaults to zero. For back ordered items, update the values. As Line Item records are posted, the quantity received is added to the Item's Qty in Stock.

Inventory item cost values are updated when the Cost field for a Line Item on the Order Form is changed. To adjust a cost while checking in received orders, make the correction on the line item and the Inventory Item record will be updated with the new cost.

OrderDialogReceived

4.	Closed - indicates everything related to the order is completed. Setting this status prevents the line items from being modified.

Expense Categories

The Expense Category field identifies a budget category for each item. The default value is based on the corresponding Inventory Item record's Expense Category value, but can be changed in the Line Items grid. The selection options are determined by Admin > System Settings > Generic Lookups > Expense Categories.

To quickly get a total of how much is being spent on an order from various budget categories, drag the Expense Category column header into the grouping area above the grid. (Note: If the Group By box isn't showing, click the Grid button in the toolbar and select "Show Group by box".)
