Change Subagent Standing Orders

This is for Newsagencies Only

Subagent Standing orders are regular orders that allocate the same quantity and titles for the same days of the week to a subagent, automatically every week.

On certain occasions, you may want to change certain subagent(s) orders. There could be different reasons, such as a subagent wanting to stop certain titles on certain days permanently while continuing the titles for other days, or you wish to give a subagent different discount rates.

To make these changes:

1. From the main screen of Retailer, click on the Customers icon.
2. In the Customer Screen, click on the magnifying glass icon and select your subagent from the list.
3. Click on Orders.
4. Click on Standing Order.
5. Click on Find Standing Order to search for an existing order.
6. Select the title from the list and click OK.
   
7. Change standing order quantities

   Change discount percentage

   Change standing order quantities

   1. In the quantities for the different days, set the new numbers that they want.
      E.g. if they wish to stop getting the title on Monday, put 0 there.
   2. Click Save Changes.

   
   

   Change discount percentage

   In Discount Profile, choose from the following:
   

   1. Paper: Uses the discount within Newspapers in Subagent Details
   2. Magazine: Uses the discount within Magazines in Subagent Details
   3. Stock: Uses the discount within Transactions in Subagent Details
   4. Other: Allows you to specify a specific discount percentage
      

   Click Save Changes.

   These discount percentages are based on the numbers entered in Subagent Details.
   

   To set those numbers, close the Standing Orders screen after saving.
   

   Click on the Subagent Details tab, and change the discount percentage for the desired type.
   

   

   Note: all titles using the same type will get the same discount percentage for this subagent.
    
   

If the current week's orders have already been generated, you will need to change the quantities and discount amounts manually within the All Orders tab. Future weeks' orders will generate with the new quantities and discount percentage.
