Managing Events with Pending Purchase Orders
- Brendan Sweeney
The step of the Event workflow in which you enter the Purchase Order # is a critical one. Without the purchase order, the manufacturer can’t invoice for the case and no one gets paid. This is why its critical to stay on top of which events still require a PO so that payment can be received in a timely manner and no cases go un-billed. In ConnectSx there are a few ways to do this:
When you have obtained the purchase order number you need to add it to the Event.
Filter for Events with “Pending PO” status
Navigate to the Events tab
Open up the filters next to the search bar
Select the “Pending PO” status
Apply the filters
The Events list will be filtered to display only the Pending PO events
Use the Pending PO Widget on the Dashboard
Navigate to the Dashboard
Notice the Pending PO widget
This widget will display a handful of your Events that have outstanding POs
Click on an Event to jump to that particular Event Detail page
Click on “View All” to jump to the Event list with the Pending PO status filter already applied (like in the last section)
Send Pending PO reminders to your Users
As an Admin you may trigger reminder emails to your users about their Events with outstanding POs.
