Set Up Order Procedures

In this article

Standardising your procedures ensures that every order coming from an agent arrives with the correct information and meets your business requirements. This reduces back-and-forth communication and keeps your production line moving.


Access the Action Wizard

To define the steps your agents follow when creating a new sales order, you will first need to set up a procedure in the Action Wizards. You can locate the Action Wizards in two ways:

  • If you are already on the B2B page: Simply click the Manage Action Wizards button.
  • From any other screen: Click the Gear Icon (Settings) → OperationsOrder Management. Click on the Action Wizards tab.

What are Action Wizards? Think of it as a tool that lets you choose the exact steps an agent must take to complete an order. By setting these steps in order, you ensure your agents never skip important details.

Create a New Procedure

To create a new sales order procedure, click on the + Add wizard button under the Order Entry Wizards section.

In the pop-up field, enter a name for this new workflow (e.g., Standard Agent Order). This name will appear later when linking the procedure to your specific agents, so make sure to give it a meaningful name!

Click the Create button. You will now see your new procedure listed in the Order Entry Wizards table below.

Choose the Steps Your Agent Will Follow

Find the procedure you would like to add the steps to in the table, click the ••• on the right side, and select Edit Actions.

In Wizard Actions, click the + New Action button to start adding the actions (steps).

  • Select your first step: For this example, we will choose Select Global Customer Account so the agent begins the order by identifying the customer. You can, of course, choose a different starting action based on your specific business process.
  • Scroll down and click the Add button.

💡 Did you know? You can pull information directly from your records into the workflow by typing the "@" symbol. This allows you to automatically show specific data to your agents. This is the same shortcut used to personalise your WhatsApp templates!

  • Repeat this for every step you want the agent to take, such as adding order line items or choosing a delivery date.
  • Click on the Save button to apply the changes.

Link the Procedure to Your Agents

The final step is to assign this new procedure to the specific agents who will use it.

  1. Head back to the B2B page by clicking Sales Channel in the top navbar and selecting B2B from the dropdown menu.
  1. Once you are on the B2B page, click on the Agents tab to view your full list of registered agents.
  2. In the table view, find the agent you want to add this new procedure to, click on the ••• on the far right, and select Edit.
  1. Scroll down the profile page until you locate the Agent Sales Order Settings section.
  2. Under Create Sales Order Procedure field, click the dropdown box and select the new procedure that you just created.
  1. Click on the Save button at the bottom right of the section to apply the change.
