1.2 Creating Delivery Sales and Orders

POS Activity Menu

VendMAX Delivery orders with an expected delivery date matching Today’s Schedule date are listed in the Sales section.  These orders become a Delivery Sale once the order is completed.

The Orders tab contains a delivery order the user creates today. This order is for the next scheduled visit, and contains the products in which the user has entered a quantity in the order column.   There is only one (1) delivery order, which is the sum of all order amounts when the user creates multiple delivery sales and enters different order amounts on each sale. 

Once a delivery order is created, the planned delivery date can be changed. On the Order page, left swipe on the delivery order and you can change the delivery date.  

Delivery Sale

The products on the delivery sale are grouped by product family, which can be expanded and collapsed.  The Sale column is today’s sold amount, and the Order column is the quantity to be delivered at next service.

When using delivery pricing rules with the “No-Sell” and “Warn-Sell” features, the app will show warning messages and will not allow the user to add “No-Sell” products to an order sale.  The messages displayed in the app are defined by the user when creating pricing rules in DeliveryMAX.

When products are set as “No-Sell” the app will not show the product in product lookups, preventing the driver from adding products which cannot be sold to an order or sale. 

When an order or sale which contains a “No-Sell” product is downloaded to the app, the driver is allowed to sell the product, but the app will show warning message to the driver.
