An Order Source identifies where an order originated from (i.e., Walmart, BestBuy, Amazon, etc.). Once an order source is created, you can reserve inventory for the order source. 

 

 

Create an Order Source

  1. Access the "Order Source" Table. Two methods:
    From the Dashboard: Click the     “Apps” tab, click the “Order Setup" App, then click the “Order Source” Table.
    From the Quick Actions shortcut: Press a dot (period) on your keyboard, then select “Order Source” from the list of Quick Actions.

  2. Click the Create New button in the top right. The Creating New Order Source screen appears.


  3. Select the Line of Business in the LOB field.
  4. Type a Name for the Order Source (i.e., BJ's).
  5. Optionally, select a Packing Slip template to use for orders from this Order Source.  
  6. Optionally, select an Order Confirmation Email template to use for orders from this Order Source.
  7. Optionally, select a Shipment Confirmation Email template to use for orders from this Order Source.
  8. In the Require GS1 128 Label field, select True or False. If you have a retailer that requires EDI, these labels are used to label cartons. Leaving this field blank is the same as selecting False. 
  9. In the Require Cartonized ASN field, select True or False. If you have a retailer that requires EDI, select whether to create a cartonized ASN (Advanced Shipping Notification) for communication on an 856 (shipping document). Leaving this field blank is the same as selecting False.
  10. Optionally, enter any Packing Notes or Shipping Notes that you want to appear on the Packing Slip for orders from this Order Source.
  11. Click Save. The Order Source will be created.

If an Order is saved without an Order Source, Infoplus will auto-complete this field for you. We recommend, to streamline your data, that this field is not left blank. Order Sources created by Infoplus are system-generated and cannot be deleted.
