Contract Fulfillment Update
There are several updates to Contract Fulfillment to make
your day easier. First, you now have the ability to over-prep
for an order by including extras such as bags for linens.
This will keep track of the actual quantity you send out and
make sure you get it back. In addition, two menu options
have been added to the Right Click of the Fulfillment tab:
Sell Missing/Damaged Items and Sell All Missing Items.
These will do an asset sale of the quantity that was missing
on the contract. Contract Fulfillment now allows you to
use RFID directly to scan items in or out. Utilizing an RFID
scanner to read large quantities of items, such as a pile of
RFID tagged linens, an employee simply waves the wand
over the pile to automatically return items. In addition,
Contract Fulfillment has two new scan methods to help
you return everything on the appropriate contract. If a
customer brings in multiple items, the employee can use
the blind scan mode by simply hovering the RFID wand
over the items and Contract Fulfillment will automatically
return them to the correct contract. A double blind scan
mode is also available for when multiple items are returned
at one time. When items are scanned in this mode,
Contract Fulfillment automatically pulls up the correct
customer orders and returns the items to the corresponding
contracts. Finally, Close All Fulfilled Items will look at all
of the items that have been returned from Fulfillment and
close them, making sure everything has been counted.
Self Service
There is now a self-service option for employees, which
will allow them to make changes to their own account
information instead of having to rely on workers in the
back office to do this for them. A new option for Operator
Information now allows an employee to set their own email,
cell phone, and desired contact method. In addition, they
will be able to change their own password and even reset
their password if need be. Now that one forgetful employee
(and we know there’s always one) won’t have to bother the
back office every day when he needs to log-in.
