The Home Page

After you log on to Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition, the system displays the Home page.

At any other time, you can re-display the Home page by clicking in the home row of any other Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition page.

The Home page contains three groups of menus:


Buyer Menus

At the left-hand side of the Home page, are four menus containing links to all of the pages required by users and approvers.


 Some of the following menu items are only available if you have been assigned an appropriate privilege. 

The items that may appear here are:   

 

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.   


Services Menu

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:

  Administration
application
 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. 
  Auctions, and Other Services Enterprise Buyer 2.0 Desktop Edition allows the integration of external services, such as Auction Services, Invoice Presentment, and other Commerce One products, or third-party services such as business travel agencies, and so on. These services can be selected from the Home page Business menu by users who have the necessary privilege. 
  Commerce MarketSite.net Connect to the Commerce One e-marketplace, providing global e-commerce services to buyers, suppliers and net market makers.
  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.
  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.

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.   


Choose Your Organization 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.
