Solomon Web Order Altara

Web Order enables your own staff and existing customers to securely enter orders over the Internet, directly into the Microsoft Business Solutions Supply Chain Management–Order Management system. In addition, customers can use Web Order to check the status of those orders any time, day or night, and inquire into current inventory availability and pricing.

The Internet is changing the way that business is conducted. Your customers and employees need the flexibility to access key enterprise information any time of the day and to be able to act on that information from the convenience of the closest Web browser.

Web Order provides around-the-clock and around-the-world access for your customers. With Web Order, they can place orders at their convenience, get immediate answers to questions about the status of previously placed orders, or instantly check on inventory availability and pricing.

When your staff is away from the office, they can enter customer orders directly into Web Order, eliminating the need to call or fax in orders from the field. They can also pre-scan the status of existing orders before they contact the client, and be more knowledgeable about the clients overall experience with your business.

When your remote staff or customers use Web Order to enter orders or inquire into previous orders or inventory availability and pricing, it eliminates the need for expensive support staff to answer those questions by phone or fax. The accuracy and efficiency of the ordering process is increased, due to the elimination of double entry from phoned, faxed or mailed orders.

Web Order is built for the same platform as Microsoft Supply Chain Management. Both use Microsoft NT and the same Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 database. Web Order is built upon the Microsoft Internet Information Server and Microsoft Site Server, Commerce Edition foundation, providing scalable, efficient, and expandable e-commerce solutions for all types of businesses.

Inventory Inquiry
The Inventory Inquiry page shows the first 20 records of the total number of inventory items selected by an inquiry. For each item, Web Order shows the part number, description, customer part number, item availability, and unit pricing.

You can view all of the selected inventory items as a series of pages, with each page detailing 20 of the selected inventory items. By clicking on the page numbers at the top of the page, you can quickly jump between individual pages of results.

Item pricing is shown for a single item. If special customer or volume pricing is available for the item, then the item price will be adjusted automatically.

Order Status Inquiry
You can search the Supply Chain Management order files by the order number, purchase order number, order date, or a specific part number. The Web Order system searches the Microsoft Supply Chain Management order database to locate the specific order you want to see.

For each order, Web Order shows order, item, and item shipment information. Each order can contain multiple items, and each item can require one or more shipments to be fully fulfilled to your customer.

Order Entry
Web Order provides order item entry to your customers who need assistance finding the exact items they want to order through the Inventory Inquiry page. Web Order also accommodates knowledgeable customers who already know what they want to order and who want to place their order with maximum efficiency in a minimum of keystrokes using the direct entry method in the Order Entry page. In this manner, Web Order meets the needs of the power-business customer and the occasional-business customer as well.

Ability to create sales orders directly into Supply Chain Management Order Management, using the exact same policies and procedures used within Microsoft Supply Chain Management software.
