This Help Article covers:

General/Overview:

The Orders Window for a Quoted Job initially displays a list of Product Lines pulled from the Quote for the Selected Supplier, Grouped in Sections according to the Products “Fix” Category.

⚠️ NOTE: Before an Order can display a list of Products pulled from the Quoted the Quote needs to have been Accepted.

⚠️ NOTE: To Add an Order, the Supplier must be entered into Contacts. For more information on this see the Help Article: "Accounts - Supplier (Add - Edit - Remove)".

⚠️ NOTE: When placing Orders, using an Order Number that starts with the Job Number will automatically assign the Purchase Invoice to the Job. You can follow this with a “Space”, “Dash” or “Slash” and then any text you want. I.E. “1234 Mr John Doe”, “1234 – Mr John Doe” or “1234 / Mr John Doe”.

To Enable a User to Add or Edit Orders

For a User to be able to Add or Edit an Order they need to be enabled on the Katipolt Desktop side. To do this they need to be added to a Katipolt Role with permission “Add/Edit Orders” toggled to "On".

Company Settings > Staff Top Tab > Roles Expandable Section > Select a Role that displays Katipolt “Add/Edit Orders” toggled to "On" OR from a Role toggle it to "On" > then select the person from the “Assigned To” dropdown to add

⚠️ NOTE: Toggling "Add/Edit Orders" to "On" also toggles "View Orders" to "On". You can Toggle just "View Orders" to "On" which allows a User to View Orders, but not Add or Edit an Order.

To Add an Order to a Quoted Job

Adding Orders for a Quoted Job is done from the Orders Expandable Section of a Job’s Orders Top Tab.

Quick Flow:

  • JOB: XXXX Window

  • More Top Tab > Orders Option

To Order the Quote's Products

Ordering the Quote's Products is done by editing the "This Order" field quantities of the list of Product Lines pulled from the Quote.

A Product's “Fix” Category Section can be Included/Excluded from the Order by Toggling the Included button "On" OR "Off".  This means that you can Order the 1st Fix Products separately from the Second Fix Products

💡 TIP: Further Orders will display in the "This Order" field any remaining quantity for the Product pulled from the Quote not Ordered in previous Orders.

To Add Items to Order not included in the Quote (items in Products)

  • Product Code,

  • Qty (default "1"), then

  • Press the Keyboard “Enter” key to display the product as an Order Line

⚠️ NOTE: If you enter a Product Code for a Product that is already on the Order a Popup tells you this, you need to find the Order Line and edit the "This Order" quantity to include the additional requirement.

2. If the Order is complete, Press [SAVE AS DRAFT]

To Add Items to Order not included in the Quote (Items NOT in Products)

 1.  From the New Order Window’s Additional Items Section, Press the "Add custom product" Icon, then Enter a:
