How to Create a Reorder Using the Hand-Held Terminal (HHT)

Tip

Using the HHT to create your reorders.

At the HHT, fetch a reference file.  Use the HHT to enter items as you would an invoice.  In the Invoice # field, if you are going to send the invoice electronically to the vendor, enter CAO as a prefix (for example, CAO12334).  In the Qty Items field, enter the quantity you want to reorder.  Send the DSD files from the HHT.  Post the invoice to CDBWin.  On the Daily Work menu, click Purchases/Payables.  On the File menu, click Open.  Select the paidout which posted from HDP and click OK.

To add new items to an order, your CAO vendor may require you to also add their Vendor Item #.  This is normally added automatically from converting EDI files, but in the case of an item you have never purchased before, you must add the Vendor Item # to the Inventory Maintenance record.  Then the reorder file you create has the number by which your vendor's system may identify the items you want.

If you want to hand this reorder to a vendor, on the Print menu, click Order.

If you want to send this order to your EDI vendor, on the CAO menu, click Transmission > Create Order. You may be prompted to view the order. After you close the order display, click Send Order. Close the Transmission window when finished.
