Add An Order Queue

Details: Location: Administration > Sales > Order Queues > Add Order Queue Order Queues are used to capture and manage orders based on specific criteria. Order Queues ONLY display Orders, not invoices. Adding an Order Queue allows you to specify managers and rules for the Queue. *NOTE: You must manually remove orders from your Queues, the system does not do that for you. Step by Step:

  1. Enter a name for the Queue, such as New Sales Orders, Orders to be Rescheduled or Warehouse Orders.

  2. Select a Manager(s) for the Queue. Managers will be the only users allowed to remove orders from the Queue. Managers will also see the new Queue listed in the My Queues pull-down list in the Menu bar (next to My Reports and Window).

  3. Check off the automated Queue Rules. Queue rules dictate which type of orders are added to the Queue. You are not limited to the number of rules a Queue has. A Queue is not required to have any rules and users can simply add orders to the queue as needed.

Order Queue Rules:

  • POS - Bill Me Later Orders: Auto-captures all POS Transactions checked off as Bill Me Later.

  • POS - Warehouse Orders: Auto-captures all POS Transactions checked off as Warehouse Order.

  • Return - Cancelled Orders: Auto-captures all cancelled Return Orders.
