Order functions

Various order functions are available on making an order or a collective order:

Complete title data

You can further research the title data and order numbers entered in the collective order.

• On the Order functions menu select the Complete title data command.
  A search is made for the data in the database assigned to the supplier.

If the title has been found, the title data are displayed on the right beside the title data. 

If you have made a mistake, a dialog box with a message appears.

• Accept by clicking OK.
  You are returned to the field.
• Once you have managed to rectify the cause, select on the Order functions menu the Complete title data command. The program searches again and displays the title data.

Number check

ISBNs are checked automatically on leaving the field. If an ISBN is incorrect, an error message is displayed.

You can now correct the ISBN or order the title without a number check. Disabling the number check makes it possible to order ISBNs with incorrect check digits. If a title appears as a co-production of several publishers, you can order the title from the publisher of your choice using the ISBN. If there are several editions of a title with different ISBNs, you can order an older edition in this way.

Check availability online (OLA)

It is possible to check the availability of titles from the wholesaler's both for individual title orders and for a collective order.

• On the Order functions menu select the Check availability online (OLA) command or click OLA.
  The availability of the titles is checked and the quantity available is displayed.
  
• If you want further information on the reasons why a title is not available, move the mouse over the yellow i symbol.
  Further information is displayed.
• If you want to order the title immediately, click Place OLA order now.

Only titles that are available online can be ordered using OLA order. Titles that are not available or sub-quantities will be rejected.

Online order (OLA order)

It is possible to order titles immediately online from the wholesaler's both for individual title orders and for a collective order.

• On the Order functions menu select the Online order (OLA order) command or click OLA order.
  
  The availability of the titles and the order quantities are checked.
• The titles that have been ordered are saved with the status sent in the order book.
• The titles that are not available continue to be displayed with the original order quantity.
  
  
  
  If you want further information on the reasons why a title is not available, move the mouse over the yellow i symbol.
  
  Further information is displayed.
• For titles for which a sub-quantity is available, you will see this information in the Available column. The value in the Quantity column is then automatically reduced to the available quantity. 
  
  
• To order the sub-quantity available, click the OLA order button again.
• Depending on the reason for the lack of availability, you can then save the remaining titles in the order book (e. g. titles that are temporarily unavailable) or order them from another supplier (e. g. titles that KNV no longer sells).

Printing an order slip

• On the Order functions menu select the Print order slip command.
  A new window is opened with the preview of the order slip. 

The order slip contains the title information such as author, title, publisher, price and the customer data entered. If you want to print your business logo on the order slip, make the necessary settings in the configuration program.

At the same time as the preview a print dialog box is opened where you can select the printer and start the printing.
