Models Requested List


Model Number Is the Model Number that has been requested
On Hand How many in Current Inventory, Sold or Not Sold. If there are Model Numbers on hand that are available to be allocated then the color will be green, if no on hand models are available the color will be red.
On PO How many currently on Purchase Orders not received yet. If the Purchase Order has stock models available to be allocated then the color will be green, If all models are sold then the color will be red.

AR Doc Stands for Accounts Receivable Document this is the Customer Order Number.
Customer The Bill To name on the Customer Order
Comments These are the notes that the sales staff entered when they requested the Model Numbers.
Model Notes These are the Notes on the Model Number when they were added to the Customer Quote or Order. for Example if you were to sale a floor model enter the comment on the Model Number when you sale it, when you request the model number to be marked for you, you may write 'Floor Model Ser# 12345678' then the Purchasing Department can mark that serial for your customer.

Add to Existing PO If you have a Model already coming on a Purchase Order then you can assign it to this Requested Model Number
Track Model by Quantity not Allocated You may have a Model Number that you sell so many a week that you just keep on hand say 10. Therefore you do not allocate to each customer, just know that when they schedule delivery we will have a model and serial for the customer.
Mark Not Available Anymore Sometimes the sales staff will request models that are no longer available and that the vendor does not have a replacement for. If you select this button it will I-Mail the salesperson to provide us with a correct model number and request again

If you want to satisfy the request with one of these model and serial numbers, then highlight the Model in the Model Number section and then click on the green '<Click>' that corresponds with the model and serial you want to allocate. If the Model Number is already allocated to a customer you will need to tell why you are un-allocating and then you will be asked if you want to re-request the Model Number to this screen. You can see the Delivery Date and the Target Date for each serial. If the Target Date is red that means that the Target Date has passed.
