Overview

Overview

 

Drop ship orders fly outside the radar of most dealer's typical sales order process. With this alert an automated email will send to the Sales Order Contact as soon as the tracking details from POP is recorded into note on Sales Order. 

This alert requires you link the sales orders to the PO's and that you set PO Processor to push note with shipment/tracking details.  

 

Run Schedule:  Daily Afternoons

Alert Functionality

Alert Functionality

1. The alert requires you enable new functionality through PO Processor (specifically POP Direct) to push a Note onto the Sales Order when a dropship is completed. The ID753 logic looks for this Note (as you've entered in VariableW) and triggers to advise your customer of dropship-sent when it sees the Note created. (The Note is not really designed to be human-readable, it's a mashup of data points that we parse out. Unfortunately we don't know where/how to tell you to configure this functionality, please reach out your ECi rep for instructions.

Sample note of raw text this process looks for:

2. Will send email to the Ordered by contact on Sales Order:

Best Practices & Tips

Best Practices & Tips

1. Since this a customer-facing alert, we do recommend that the from email address for the alert comes from one of your department emails your customer can reply to (i.e. supplies@ OR customerservice@). We can make that change on your subscription, but please make sure CEO Juice has permission to send as that email address otherwise no emails will send out. Please see THIS POST on setting those permissions up.
