We know that as a coordinator, placing your order doesn't always go as planned. Maybe you realize you are short on an inventory item, or maybe a family orders after the deadline. To make the unexpected easier to manage, we have simplified the process of finding a solution. With the latest enhancement to SCRIPWARE™, you will be able to manage last-minute additions to your orders right from SCRIPWARE.
Now you can add items to an order that has already been placed, as long as we haven't started processing the order, and the billing hasn't taken place yet. Just follow these steps:
- Create your purchase order in SCRIPWARE for the additional items you need for families and inventory.
- Click on Submit PO as usual. If you have an order available to be changed (not yet processed or billed), you will see the option to combine the items on the PO with a previous order, or to create a separate order.
- When you choose to create an order, a separate order will be placed for the additional items.
- When you choose to combine the orders, you will be given a summary of the revised order that includes the previous items, additional items, and new order totals.
- The PrestoPay™ credit will update to include any PrestoPay orders placed since the original order.
You will get an email notification when your order has been received. The new billing amount will be the total net cost of all items on both purchase orders, one shipping charge from the original PO, and a reduction of all PrestoPay credit from both purchase orders.
We hope the combining orders enhancement to SCRIPWARE helps you in managing unexpected additions to your orders and simplifies running your scrip program.
