Default VAT currency and percentage
From here you can specify the currency that will be set by default in the orders / estimates filled in on the tablet.
The VAT percentage specified in this field will be set automatically for all those products in which it is not specified in the master data.
The same settings can also be configured in the Reserved Area by logging in as Manager, from the Settings -> Preferences menu, with regard to orders / quotes filled in from that Area.

Numbering of orders and quotes (reserved for the Manager user)
The progressive numbers of the orders cannot be changed, but it is possible to restart the count from 1. The count restarts automatically every year.

PDF preferences (reserved for Manager user)
In the Reserved Area, by logging in as Manager, from the Settings -> Preferences menu, you can choose from 7 PDF order / quote templates, as well as the color and font.
Also from this section it is possible to specify the conditions of sale that will be reported in the document.
Next, we have the option to view or not the Customer Code in the PDF of the order and, once a choice has been set, decide whether to apply it also to orders filled in from the tablet.
Finally, it is possible to insert the company logo which, in addition to being shown in the PDF of the order, will appear on the screen of all the tablets associated with this account (the size must be 600px x 300px, in jpg format).

General Preferences (reserved for the Manager user)
Also in the Reserved Area it is possible to specify the currency and the default VAT for orders / quotes compiled from this Area.

The option: “gifts with compensation” allows you to choose whether or not to apply the compensation in the calculation of the VAT of the gifts (OS5.7 or higher required).
The taxable amount will be reversed on the invoice, while the total amount of VAT will remain to be paid for the customer.

In addition to these options, we find the possibility of specifying one or more email addresses to which copies of orders will be sent in CSV format.

Personal data

In this section you can consult the Agent’s data that will appear in the appropriate area of the order / quote PDF. These data can only be modified in the Reserved Area, by logging in as Manager, from the Management menu -> Agents.

Orders/quotes archive

Quick actions

Scrolling horizontally the row of an order, some additional operations appear. For example, an order in draft can be sent or deleted, while an already sent order can be resent, duplicated or deleted.

Filter orders by date, supplier, customer

The default display shows the list of orders arranged in chronological way; the last order is displayed at the top and it’s followed by the less recent orders.

The orders are grouped by months of the current year and subsequently by previous years.

The user can choose to display orders by filtering them by suppliers or customers and can return to chronological order by clicking the filter “Date”.

“Create new” button

the button is located ate the top right. By clicking it, a new order creation screen will appear.

Orders and Quotes

Order Sender allows you to manage both orders and quotes.
The Quotes section is only available to users with Business subscription.

The quotes can be transformed into orders.

It is possible to access the order’s database from the home page screen or the tab bar
From this page you can display, manage and create new orders.

The orders that haven’t been sent yet are marked by a red border, while those already sent have a green border. Once the order has been sent, it can not be changed, but it can be duplicated, resent or deleted from the database.

The same applies to the quotes

Create new order/quote

Order creation screen overview

This is the screen where the order / quote form is filled out. Allows you to specify customer, supplier, shipment and item data.

In the header we find the section dedicated to numbering. When the order / quote is created, a temporary number (T-xxx) is assigned which remains until the order / quote is sent. After sending, the system will assign the definitive order number (B-xxx) considering the general numbering of the account.

The date is automatically entered based on the day on which the order is completed. However, it is always possible to change it manually.

The PDF icon allows you to see a preview of the PDF of the order (online) as it would arrive at the customer and supplier. This allows you to carry out checks and correct any errors before actually sending the proposal. From this screen it is also possible to print the PDF preview of the order directly via a WiFi printer connected to your internal network.

The “Order Options” menu is accessible by clicking the icon at the top right of the order creation screen. It allows you to view specific operations on the individual order. For example: a draft order can be sent or canceled, while an already sent order can be re-sent, duplicated or canceled.

Data at the end of the order / estimate

Among the data that complete the compilation of the order / quote we find:
– Closing discount, expressed in numerical value or as a percentage, applied to the sum of the taxable amounts;
– The client: the name of the person who signs the acceptance;
– Digital signature: the documents in PDF, sent by e-mail, can be signed by the customer thanks to the software function that allows you to collect his signature.

“Delivery and Payment” field

This section includes data relating to delivery (date, type, packaging, return, shipment), payment (method, bank) and transport costs. All data must be filled in manually, with the exception of the payment method which can be saved in the Customer registry.

“Supplier” and “Customer” fields

Si può cominciare la compilazione dell’ordine selezionando un Fornitore presente in anagrafica. Per farlo, basta iniziare a scrivere il nome nell’apposito campo e premere sul Fornitore che viene proposto tramite il menu a tendina.
È possibile inserire manualmente un Nuovo Fornitore. In questo caso è necessario espandere il campo “Fornitore” con il tasto “+” e compilare tutti i dati necessari. Al termine, premere il bottone “Salva Fornitore” che consentirà di salvare l’anagrafica appena inserita nel database dell’account e di richiamarla in ordini futuri. Se si modifica un fornitore già salvato, sarà possibile aggiornarlo definitivamente anche nel database tramite il bottone “Aggiorna Fornitore” (riservato a utente Gestore).

Send

Once main fields have been filled in, the action to be undertaken is to send the order by clicking on the “Send” button, which will open a screen where you can decide whom to send the order to, in addition to the supplier. Proceeding, the order will be sent by email to the previously stated addresses, as an attached pdf file.
Once the order has been sent, it can not be changed, but it can be duplicated, resent or deleted from tablet’s memory (See Order Process Menu).

“Products” field

In the part dedicated to “Products” it is possible to insert products you uploaded previously (see Product Management) following the same principle used for Customers and Suppliers, that is to say following the path “Add product” and starting to write in the “Code” or “Description” field and selecting the desired product. You can then choose quantities, prices and possible discounts (for discounts setting see page …).

However, it is always possible to add a new item manually. In this case, the “Save details” button will appear, allowing you to save the item you inserted in the app’s database and to recall it during the next orders. If an already saved item is modified, you can update the information stored in the database by clicking on the “Update details” button.

The VAT field, available for every item, will be populated with default value, indicated in the Preferences section or in the details of the item. However, it is always possible to add a specific VAT value for each item. (see how to set the default VAT)

The Currency field, in order creation screen, is pre-populated with default value, specified in the Preferences section. It can be changed for the order in progress. The currency exchange rate is not handled. (see how to set the default currency)

The totals will be updated with the addition of new items.

Auto-complete
The items will appear automatically when typing their code only if the supplier has been already inserted in the order.

“Headquarters” field

The office refers to the shipping address of the goods, an alternative to the Customer’s registered office. In the Customer database it is possible to save multiple locations that will be recalled at the time of completing the order.

You can manually enter a new location. In this case it is necessary to expand the “Sede” field with the “+” key and fill in all the necessary data. At the end press the button “Save Customer” which will allow you to save the registry just entered in the account database and to recall it in future orders. If you modify a customer that has already been saved, it will also be possible to permanently update it in the database using the “Update Customer” button (reserved for the Manager user).

Option “gifts with compensation”

Choose whether or not to apply the compensation in the calculation of the VAT of the gifts (OS5.7 or higher required).

The taxable amount will be reversed on the invoice, while the total amount of VAT will remain to be paid for the customer.

To access the “gifts with compensation” option, you must access the web area as a manager, in “settings”> “preferences”; “general preferences”.

Introduction

Login

Upon first opening, the Order Sender app asks you to enter your Agent credentials. This is an authentication that allows you to synchronize the tablet with the data on our servers, relating to the account to which we have access.
Once logged in, you can return to this section from the “Login” button.
From here you can also perform further operations, such as synchronizing or deleting the Business account from the tablet, by activating the pop-up menu, swiping with your finger from right to left, near your company code.

Accounts with more than one Agent

This business solution allows all the Agents who are part of it to access the same database (suppliers, customers, discounts, products), but each of them maintains the ability to view only their own orders on their tablet.
In the architecture of a Business account with multiple agents, only the Manager is allowed to add or modify the master data, this for a matter of data consistency.
The Agent (apart from the first one created, who is also the Manager) is a user who has the possibility to add new Customers only when filling in an order or a quote (see “Customer” field).
Another peculiarity of this account is the possibility of assigning Suppliers and Customers to only some Agents (or groups of Agents). In fact, within each registry there is an area with the names of the Agents to be displayed.

Management (personal data)

Management of customized lists

By accessing the Reserved Area as a Manager, it is possible to add, import and manage one or more customized price lists, alternative to the Basic Price List.
Each price list is composed of the price list code, the name of the price list, product code, net price (relative to the product to which a customized price list is being added) and up to three discounts (optional).
Even customized price lists, alternative to the basic one, can be imported via CSV file or Copy / Paste from Excel.

Headquarters Management

It allows you to create, manage and delete the order shipping address for each individual customer.

Insert new
From the list, click the “+” button at the top right, fill in the fields and save by clicking the “Save” button at the bottom.

In order for an Agent (without the Manager’s permissions) to enter a new customer in the account database, it is necessary to fill in and send an order, or a quote, with the data relating to the new shipping address, after which, the Manager user will be able to authorize this entry.
In fact, the latter will see the order or the estimate created by the agent in the Orders Archive (by accessing the Reserved Area on the web as Manager) and entering the order modification, by pressing on the “green pencil”, he will find next to the name of the new office, the key to be able to save it in the registry.

Edit and delete personal data
From the list, click the row of the office, modify the fields and save the changes by clicking the “Save” button. You can delete the registry by clicking the “trash can” icon at the top right of the edit screen.

Import and Export of CSV or Excel files

By accessing the Reserved Area as a Manager, it is possible to import CSV files. This format is supported by the most popular spreadsheets such as Microsoft Excel, OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Click on the version you have to download the example file from which to start to create your database to import.

– Customers (Excel for Windows, Excel for Mac, OpenOffice)
– Products (Excel for Windows, Excel for Mac, OpenOffice)
– Discounts (Excel for Windows, Excel for Mac, OpenOffice)
– Custom Price Lists (Excel for Windows, Excel for Mac, OpenOffice)

These imports can also be made starting from an Excel file, by copying / pasting the data contained in this archive.
Once the data has been entered in the importer, it is necessary to indicate whether a header row is contained in the file (such as the one present in the example files) and if you intend to remove the data that are not present in the file, so as to delete the personal data not present in the file. most used.
In any case, the records in the archive will be updated with those being imported.
In the last step it is necessary to associate the columns in the CSV file with the fields that can be imported into the system. If there is no header row, such as the one in the example files, it will be possible to associate these fields using the drop-down menus in each row.
It is possible that the system does not automatically recognize the file structure and therefore it is necessary to specify which “Column delimiter” and which “String delimiter” are used in this document. Try to change and press “Update Preview” to verify that the system correctly recognizes the single data to be imported.

Data export always takes place in CSV format and, in addition to the data listed above as regards import, it is also possible to export the data relating to orders.

Import and Export via API

To achieve full integration of Order Sender with third party software, access to Web API libraries is provided.
This is an additional module that allows you to export and import data relating to orders, customer records and products on the company management system, creating a highly flexible integration, which is perfectly modeled respecting the workflow adopted by the company. The management system, or any other external system used, can be set up in such a way as to retrieve the data generated by Order Sender through simple web calls.
To obtain the token, access the Reserved Area and go to the “API Management” (from the Settings menu). To consult the manual relating to integration via API, and to know the mapping of the fields that are transmitted, click here.

Discounts management

It enables the user to create, manage and delete discounts related to each customer, associated with supplier or products. Once in the menu, select the customer whom you want to apply the discount to and add the above-mentioned by clicking on the + button. A discount may be applied to the entire supplier’s list of products or to each product separately. In the first case, you can choose the supplier of the product you want to apply the discount to from the drop down menu in the input screen, without specifying a product. In the second case, after specifying the supplier’s list of products, you have to specify a product from the related drop-down menu. In the event where there are both discount on the entire supplier’s price list and a product’s discount, at the moment of order completion the discount related to the single item will be automatically entered (in the screen dedicated to order’s completion it is always possible to change the discount manually). Once the supplier and potentially the product have been stated, select the discount percentage. You can specify up to three discount percentages: the second percentage is a discount on the already discounted price by the first percentage and the third one is a discount applied to the already discounted price by the second percentage. If, for example, we associate to the product X a discount 1 of 10% and a discount 2 one of 5%, starting from a price of 100, the final discounted price will be 85.5. (the first discount reduces the price to 90 and if we apply to it the second discount, we reach the final price of 85.5).

Commissions

How to set up commissions (Web Area)

Commissions can be calculated in two different ways:

On the sales price: by setting a percentage calculated on the sales price net of VAT and discounts.
On the sales margin: by setting a percentage calculated on a taxable amount given by the difference between the sales price and the minimum amount.

Both methods can intervene on the entire price list of a particular supplier, on a product category or on a single product.

By entering the Supplier’s data, from the side menu Management> Suppliers> green pencil it is possible to decide the calculation method and the percentage that calculates the commission on the entire price list.

In Management> Commissions, on the other hand, you can add the commissions that will be calculated on specific product categories or products.

How to view commissions

During the compilation of the order, or of the estimate, it is possible to show or hide the information relating to the calculation of commissions using the appropriate button.

The calculation of the percentage on the single product added and the total will be visible at the bottom of the document.

Commission Statistics

Both in the Web Area and in the app, on mobile devices, there is the Commissions section where you can also access the statistics section which highlights the agent’s earnings month by month, order by order.

The section is divided into two areas: in the first there are the statistics that arise from the commission calculation relating to orders, in the second we find the list of products that have made the most.

To both statistics it is possible to apply different search filters in order to perform real accurate surveys on your sales network.
