New feature: Bulk actions through multiple-select
To make it easier to perform actions on multiple line-items, we've enabled multiple-select workflows across Quoting, Purchasing, Stock Lot creation, Shipping, and Allocation.
(1) Quoting
First, select the relevant parts and click the "Request Quotes for X Parts" action button
Next make any Quantity, Need By, and Target Price adjustments. You can also add notes before Creating the official Solicitations.
(2) Purchasing
First, select the relevant parts and click the "Purchase X Parts" action button
The Purchasing workflow will walk you through three steps before you submit your order. In this first step, you can make volume adjustments.
Cofactr enables you to play around with shipping speed and pricing options to select the best option for you.
Then you can choose to ship the items for storage at Cofactr or have the parts sent right to one of your facilities.
Finally, Cofactr will show you a summary of your Order before you officially submit your Order!
(3) Stock lots
First, select the relevant parts and click the "Bulk Create X Stock Lots & Add to Shipment" action button
You'll next need to select an existing Shipment and set the multiple of these parts you'd like to add.
(4) Shipments
First, select the relevant parts and click the "Add X parts to Shipment" action button
Then you can modify the quantities to ship.
(5) Allocations
First, select the relevant parts and click the "Create X Allocations" action button
Adjust the quantities
Then you can calculate the allocations
