Processing and Calling in Orders 3
Step 2, Calling in the order
There are two ways to reach the "Call in Orders" screen. If you wish to call in your orders immediately after processing them, answer "Yes" in the dialogue box at the end of processing the orders. If you wish to return to call in orders 
at a later time, the "Call in Orders" screen can be reached by clicking on the "Call in Orders" button just below the "Process Orders" button on the "Management Functions Screen"
The "Call in Orders" function will gather together all the information you will need to place an order by phone or on the internet. It will also produce a written record of each order to keep track of receipts.
All the items to be ordered from each vendor are gathered together and displayed as a list at the bottom of the screen. At the Top of the screen you will find all the information required to place the order along with your mailing address and contact information. If the vendor provides you with a "Reference Number" place it in the top blue box. It will be associated automatically with every item in the order. Shipping charges, and tax (if any) may be entered into the next two blue boxes. These will be divided among the items being ordered automatically.
Frequently the actual unit price or the number of units available will differ when you go to call in an order. If that is the case, you can change th ese numbers by clicking on them in the list. If you are finished, click on "Mark This Order as Placed". If the vendor cannot be contacted right now, click on "Skip This Vendor".
LabManager will give you the option to print out a record of the order.
LabManager will then automatically take you to the next vendor to place the next order.
