Sales orders are part of the outgoing orders, the most common task when managing a warehouse. This article will explain how to create and manage Sales orders in the PULPO WMS Web App.
In most cases, the Outgoing order will come into PULPO WMS through an integration of a third-party system, such as an ERP (weclapp) an E-commerce site (Shopify, Billbee), or an upload of a CSV. Nonetheless one can also manually create an Outgoing order from inside of PULPO, making it possible to use PULPO WMS without integrating into a third-party system.
Create sales order
To create a sales order, go to the Outgoing orders option located at the left side menu on the PULPO WMS Web App:
The screen will display a list of the currently created outgoing orders and their detailed information. To create a new outgoing order, click on the "+" button located at the lower right side of the screen.
Fill in the information required in the Create an Outgoing order dialog:
Order number: Assign an order number according to your order's organization system
Warehouse: Select the warehouse (current warehouse preselected)
Type: Select "sales order"
Client: Select the client from the list
Ship to: Select the address to ship the order. This can be the addresses assigned to the already created customer or a new address that can be assigned by selecting the "other" option from the drop-down menu
Priority: Set a priority for the order
Shipment date: Define the shipping date of the order
Notes: Add any notes regarding the order, these will be shown also during the picking and packing process.
Adding products to the sales order
Add products. The quantity must be assigned depending on the number of units to be placed in the order, as well as the amount of those units available in the warehouse stock. You can also select specific serials or batches if desired.
As an option, you can upload the product list via CSV: You can upload a CSV file with the SKU and Quantity of the products included in the order.
Sales orders can be created via CSV as described here. For the 3PL CSV upload please refer to this article.
Once the outgoing order is created, it will appear listed on the main screen. The list displayed corresponds to orders registered in PULPO WMS.
Search and filter outgoing orders on the main screen
Orders can be filtered according to different criteria and by using different filter tools. At the top of the screen, the following filtering tools can be used:
