The Orders function allows you to create e-orders for vendors by scanning the items you want to order. You will upload the e-order file to the computer and then email or upload to your vendor. Check with your vendor to see if they can work with e-order files.
When you have completed these steps, a file called Order.txt will be located in C:\ApexBOS\Handheld\Download folder. You can use this file to send to your Vendor.
Scan item you are ordering. You will hear a beep and the UPC field will fill when you receive a successful scan. A description, department, price and other info will display and the app will be waiting in the Quantity field. If you see a UPC number but no other information that could mean 2 possible things.:
2. Your hand held is not reading the UPC codes properly. Please contact support to help calibrate your hand held device. This is not likely, but can be an issue.
Enter Quantity and other information. Entering on the keypad will move you to the next field. You can always tap on a field to enter information. The gray fields are read only.
If you want to edit or remove an item in this order, tap on the item you want to change and the line will highlight in blue, then tap Edit item. The app will take you to screen 4 and you can change any of the information or tap to delete the item from this order.
If you want to edit or remove an order, tap on the Order you want to change and the line will highlight in blue, then tap Edit Order. The app will take you to screen 4 and you can change header information, edit items or tap to delete the Order. Tap Close when you have completed your changes and continue to Step12.
After the upload is complete, tap Close. You are now ready to use the Orders.txt as your Vendor has instructed. The Orders.txt file will be located in the C:\ApexBOS\Handheld\Download folder on the My Pricebook computer.
