Pocket Order Entry Overview

Use the Pocket Order Entry (Pocket OE) application to create sales orders on a Palm device when you are away from the host system.

With Pocket OE you can do the following:

Create and edit sales orders.
Review line item details, including pricing, and offer discounts.

Note: Pocket OE is not a real-time application. Pricing information is only current as of the last Product File update.

Review order header information.
Create non-stock products on-the-fly.
Download a user-defined Product File to create orders efficiently.
Use the Palm SFA contact and account information transparently.

Note: Pocket OE is not a real-time application. Customer Reorder Pad information is only as current as of the last synchronization.

After creating orders on the Palm device, upload them to the host system. The host system creates an actual sales order using the latest pricing information for the customer.

All sales orders created from Pocket OE display in the Remote Order Entry Queue, where an authorized use can review and edit them.
