How To Process Distribution and Post to Accounts

Once your Orders have been distributed you will need to resolve any delivery issues, mark successful orders as complete and post the Orders to your integrated accounts package.

Go to Distribution - Distribution Processing

On the To Be Processed tab you can see the Distribution Status of all Orders which were due to be distributed today:

Pending - Orders which have not been distributed yet.
Mis-Match - Orders where the items that were distributed do not match the items on the Order.
Has Notes - Orders where a note has been left on the Distribution App.
Failed - Orders that could not be completed.
Successful - Orders that were distributed successfully with the correct items and no notes were made.

As Orders are distributed via the Distribution App , they will move from pending to the other statuses if the app is connected to the internet.

If an Order has been distributed without using the Distribution App, click on the Order to open it and click the Add New Log button.

Click Add item to select the Products that were delivered.
Add any Containers that were collected.
Enter any Payments Collected
Enter the recipient’s name and any Notes.
Click Mark Order as Complete.
The Distribution Status should now change from Pending to the correct status.

How to resolve each Distribution Status:

Mis-Match

Click on the Order in the Mis-Match list.
This screen will display what was Ordered and what was Delivered.
The Suggested Invoice applies the relevant Price List and Discount for the Outlet to the items that were Delivered.
To accept the Suggested Invoice, click Accept Suggestion.
To make changes, click Edit Order to edit the Products and pricing to match what was Delivered.
Once the Order matches what has been Delivered, click Mark Order as Complete.

To cancel an Order, select the checkboxes and then click Cancel Selected.

Completed Orders

Switch to the Completed Orders tab at the top of the page.

Click Email Invoices to send emails to each Outlet with a copy of their Invoice attached. If a signature was taken on the Distribution App, this will be on the Invoice.

You can check if the emails have been sent successfully using Email Audit. Go to Administration - Email Audit.

You will now be able to push the Invoices to your integrated accounts software. This should be done every day.

Click Push Orders To Accounts , this will take you to the Transactions to Post page.

Alternatively:
