Book Items & Confirm
Add quantities to a booking, review pricing and promotions, and confirm it before the period closes.
What you'll learn
- Entering quantities and importing items
- Reviewing units, holdback, promotions, and totals
- Confirming (and if needed cancelling) the booking
Before you start
- Open the working booking's tab in Bookings. You must have opened it from a template first (see Open a booking).
- The booking must still be open (before its close date) and not yet confirmed, and you need permission to manage bookings.
Steps
- In the item list on the left, find an item and set its Quantity using the field or the minus and plus buttons. Repeat for each item you want to book.
- As you change a quantity, watch that item group's Units, Shipping, Holdback, and Promotions update. Amounts show Calculating... briefly while they recalculate.
- In the Details panel, review the totals: SubTotal, Shipping, Holdback, Promotions, Taxes, and Total. Open the Promotions tab to see the applied promotions.
- When the quantities are final, click Confirm booking.
- In the Do you wish to confirm the booking? dialog, read the note and click Confirm. The button then changes to Confirmed.
- To reopen the booking for changes, click Cancel confirmation, then click Confirm in the dialog. You can do this until the booking period ends.
Import or export items
- To load quantities from a spreadsheet, click Advanced, then Import items, drop your
.xlsxfile, and review the import report (each row shows a status, and mismatches or errors are flagged). - To download the current list, click Advanced, then Export items.
Good to know
- The Quantity fields and Import items option only appear while the booking is open, not confirmed, and not a template.
- You cannot confirm while items are still calculating or in error.
- Confirming lets the distributor turn the booking into an order after it closes. The confirmation can be cancelled any time until the close date.
