Orders
The Orders Page
The Orders page provides a list of the Orders associated with a particular Customer. The page lists the Orders that have been placed by the customer, the plant location for the order, the date range in which the order is valid,
the number of permits associated with the order, how many permits have been used, how many permits are remaining, and any notes pertaining to the order.
By clicking on the hyperlinked Order Number of a particular order, the customer can view the Order Details.
The Order Details Page
The Order Details page displays the details for a particular Order that has been placed; or if a new order is being created, a blank order form will be displayed. The Order Details page displays the following items:
- Order No. - The unique ID for the Order
- Contract No. - The contract or purchase order that the customer's company purchases gypsum under
- Location - The plant facility where the Order is valid
- Order Period - The week in which the Order request will be valid (currently, orders can only be placed a week or two in advance of the current day on which the order is being placed)
- Date grid - a table listing the days of the week for the order request. Each day contains a Loads field. This field represents the number of requested truck loads for a given day that have been
requested by the customer.
The Place Order button (available to administrators only) will commit any change made to the Status field of the permit. In the case of an update to an existing order, this button becomes the Request Additional Permits
button, because only changes to the number of requested loads are allowed. In either case, the request is submitted by clicking this button.
The Cancel Order/Request button will discard the order and all load requests that are not yet exercised will be disregarded.
