Shop |
||
| New Shopping Cart | Start
a new Shopping Cart and begin shopping by browsing or searching the
catalog, picking from a list of favorite items, taking a RoundTrip
to a supplier's website, or creating a special request.
|
|
| New Shopping Cart from Template | Start
a new pre-filled Shopping Cart by selecting from a list of templates. A
template is a previously ordered Shopping Cart saved by you or another
member of your Buying Organization. After selecting a template, you can
add or remove items, or adjust quantities before submitting it for
approval.
|
|
| Modify Shopping Cart | Select
an open Shopping Cart and continue shopping. In the Open Shopping Cart
list, you can see all Shopping Carts created by you (or members of your
Buying Organization, if you have that privilege) but not yet submitted for
approval. |
|
Check Status |
||
| Shopping Carts | View
the status of a Shopping Cart you have submitted. You may see the workflow
steps your Shopping Cart has passed through, and any changes or comments
made by approvers along the way.
|
|
| Orders | If
you are an Approver, you can view the progress of Orders created from
Shopping carts you have approved. You can view and answer responses from
suppliers, and resolve problems with Change Requests or cancel orders.
|
|
| Advance Ship Notice | If
you are an Approver, you can view the progress of orders that have
been accepted by suppliers and are on their way to you. You can
determine the method and schedule of shipping, the number, type and
identification of packages. |
|
Approve |
||
| Approval and Review | If
you are an Approver, you can see all Shopping Carts submitted by Buyers
for whom you are a designated approver (or an approver's delegate.) in the
Shopping Cart list. You may approve or reject a Shopping Cart, or
modify one or more items in it.
If
you have been designated as a Reviewer or an ad hoc
Approver, you may also find Shopping Cart requiring your attention in the
Shopping Cart list. |
|
Confirm Goods Receipt |
||
| Orders | Using
the desktop receiving capability of Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition, you
can compare the originating Order with the documents received with a
shipment.
In some Enterprises, there are existing dock receiving and dock distribution processes, and desktop receiving may be unnecessary. |
|
In the center of the Home page, is a drop-down menu from which you may choose links to pages dealing with administration and other non-purchasing activities, for example:
| Reports | Select
from a menu of Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition performance reports,
select parameters, such as output format and date range, and send the
report to an output file for printing of distribution. |
|
| Auctions, Travel, etc. | Enterprise
Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition allows the integration of external services, such
Commerce One Auction Services, business travel agencies, and so on. These
services can be selected from the Home page Business menu by users
who have the necessary privilege. |
|
| Profile | View
your User Profile and make changes to some values, such as your
preferences and logon password. Other values, such as your Spending
Limit and your logon user name may only be changed by your
administrator. |
|
| Administration | If you are an Administrator, you can access the Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition Administration application, used to install set-up and administer the system. |
If other systems and options are installed with Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition, you may also access the applications or their administration tools from the Services menu.
At the right-hand side of the Home page, is a drop-down menu from which you may choose which Buying Organization catalog you wish access when shopping today. Only those Buying Organizations to which you have been subscribed by you Administrator are valid options in this drop-down menu.
If you are subscribed to only one Buying Organization, then you may ignore this menu.
