The Step-by-Step Workflow:
This guide will walk you through the process of handling a REYES order using our internal systems,
The Goal: Locate the Purchase Order (PO), validate its contents, and release it for fulfillment while adhering to REYES's specific rules.
Step 1: Find the Purchase Order (PO)
- The first thing you need to do is locate the PO in the system.
Check Drafts: Start by looking in Drafts OMS. The POs are usually formatted as RMXXX-XXXXXX.
Check Confirmed Orders: If it's not in drafts, check the Confirmed Orders section of OMS.
Check Conexiom: If the PO is not in OMS, it's likely still in Conexiom. Check both the Conexiom Customers and Conexiom Alerts sections.
Step 2: Handle the PO in Conexiom (If Applicable)
- If you find the PO in Conexiom, you need to process it so it can be moved to OMS.
For Conexiom: In the search bar, type "REYES FLEET MGMT" to find your list of POs.
- Sometimes you won't see your PO right away. If this happens, go to Alerts.
For Conexiom Alerts: You will see a large list. Open the POs that appear as UNKNOWN CUSTOMER.
- Open each one until you find the one you're looking for.
- Click the 3 dots Options button.
- Select Reassign and type "REYES".
- Click OK/ACCEPT, then Process. This will either move the PO to OMS or to the Conexiom Customers list.
- Once the PO is processed from Conexiom, it will appear in Drafts OMS.
Step 3: Verify and Approve the Order
Once the PO is in OMS, you need to validate the customer information and parts.
Customer Validation:
You must re-enter the Customer ID and then select the correct ship-to and bill-to addresses.
CRITICAL: If you do not re-select the addresses, the ship note will not be assigned, and you will not be able to release the order.
Part Validation: Double-check any parts that show FAILED VALIDATION.
- You need to re-enter the part number, making sure to include the correct pool number.
Pro-Tip: Check iSeries (1-1) to get the correct pool number.
- After re-entering, click REFRESH. The parts should then show VALIDATION SUCCESS.
Step 4: Check Pricing and Inventory
- This is a critical step to ensure the order is correct before release.
Pricing:
- Compare the PO price to the customer price in iSeries.
- If the PO price is lower, you are good to go.
- If the PO price is more than $10 higher, let Walter know so it can be corrected.
Best Practice: For any small price differences, take a screenshot of both the OMS and iSeries inventory screens and save it in your notes as proof that you've checked the prices.
Inventory (Out-of-Stock Parts):
- If a part is completely out of stock, please ask Walter if there is a substitute available.
- For branch location UKI, you must place the order with the inventory you have on hand. Anything that needs to be transferred from another branch (IBT) requires a secondary PO.
Step 5: Release the Order
- Once all parts show VALIDATION SUCCESS, click Next and Confirm to release the order from OMS.
Remember the Core Rules:
- REYES accepts only one invoice per PO.
- They do not accept backorders.
Key Policies and Contacts:
Primary Contacts: For any questions about part substitutes or price corrections, contact Walter/DIEGO.
Busy Days: Mondays and Tuesdays are the busiest days.
IBT Rule: Try to arrange IBTs for everything possible to limit the number of secondary POs you have to ask for.
CRITICAL EXCEPTION: Buyer Danny Curtis
- If the PO is from Danny Curtis at the Washington DC or Chantilly locations, you MUST key in the order even if all parts are not in stock.
- He will NOT provide a secondary PO, as he only wants one total invoice.
