Check In Rental Order

Action: CHECKIN

The Check-In order process is optional.

This form is used to check-in orders as they arrive from the wholesale supplier or the in-house SC/Plant. The order being check in should have a status of Shipped or Confirmed, although you can check-in orders of any status.

It is important to check-in orders for two primary reasons:

Late orders can be identified and proper follow-up performed

ID/Serial numbers may be optionally entered for each item on the order. This ID number capturing is optional, but a good idea for companies who receive their goods from a wholesaler. It allows fast order return by the ID number and provides better order management.

Reports may be ran at the store to determine what orders are in & ready for customer pickup, as well as to identify a possible problem with a order that has not been received.

The operator may enter the Order's number (usually found on a picking slip accompanying the order or it's production ticket and could be barcoded and thus scannable for fast entry) or Customer Number or Confirmation number to locate the order to be check in.

Order number...Enter the order number to check-in. If there are no orders of status Confirmed or Shipped, WinTPOS will display a dialog There is no information on file from which to select an item

Customer number...Enter the customer number. ProfitSystem will display all the Shipped/ Confirmed orders for that customer so the correct one may be selected for check-in.

Confirmation number...Enter the confirmation number for the order to check-in.

Auto check-in...If checked, WinTPOS will not display the order details within the two list boxes described below.

Checked, the system will simply update the order's status to Received and clear the form for entry of the next order number. This feature is utilized to bypass the steps of

1) Order check, verify items received against item's ordered 2) do not want to enter the ID/Serial numbers of the items being received.

Auto check-in should be checked by default when the production management module is installed. In either case, serial numbers are only required if the Require serial numbers on order check-in? option is checked on System/Store Setup - Rental Tab.

This option is enabled by default if the Automatically save order check-in? option is checked on System/Store Setup - Rental Tab.

Tracked items list...Once a order is selected WinTPOS displays the tracked line items (Items defined in system as having ID/Serial numbers) in this list. You can optionally enter the ID/serial numbers for each item in this list box.

Non-tracked items list... Once a order is selected, WinTPOS displays the non-tracked line items in this list.

Using both list boxes the operator should check the items shown against the order itself to find discrepancies before the customer does.

Check-In button... Updates the order status Received and clears the tracked and non-tracked list so you can select another order.

OK button...Exits from the screen and returns the operator to the previous screen.
