Marking Products Designed

From FloristWiki

When you finish designing a product, you need to change its status to Designed. Marking a product designed helps you keep track of the work accomplished.

Marking Items in an Order as Designed

To mark a product as designed:

1. On the FTD Mercury Main Menu, click Designer. The Design Center Window opens.
2. Enter criteria to locate the product you want to mark designed. You can also use a bar code scanner, if available, to scan an invoice. Scanning the invoice uses the order number to locate the order. Click Search.
3. Once you locate the product, in the Status column, change the status to Designed. If there are multiple products associated with the ticket, or multiple tickets in the order, and all are assigned to the same designer, you can select Mark Order Designed to mark all of the products in the ticket or order as designed.

You can also use a bar code scanner to mark a product as designed. When the row is highlighted, scan the Mark Designed task. If you want to mark all product in the order designed, scan the Mark Order Designed task.

You can also mark an order designed quickly using the Mark Order # Designed check box.

To quickly mark an order as designed using the Mark Order # Designed check box:

1. On the FTD Mercury Main Menu, click Designer. The Design Center Window opens.
2. Select the Mark Order # Designed check box.
3. Enter the order number in the Order # field. You can also use a bar code scanner, if available, to scan the order number from an invoice or worksheet.

When you press ENTER or TAB, the order is marked as designed.

Marking All Orders as Designed

You can also mark all orders that appear in the Design Center results list as designed. This is useful if you are searching for a group of orders which are not currently marked as designed and want to change their status to designed at the same time. For instance, after a very busy design period in your shop, a designer can search for all the products assigned to her and which she has finished designing. She can then mark all of them as designed so that the delivery driver will know that they are ready.

To mark all orders displayed in a designer search as designed:

1. On the FTD Mercury Main Menu, click Designer. The Design Center Window opens.
2. Enter the criteria for your search. Usually, if you want to mark all items designed, you want to search for all items currently Not Designed, perhaps limiting your search to the products assigned to a specific designer. Click Search.
3. Ensure that all the items in the results list are ones you want to mark designed. Once you are certain, click Mark All Orders Designed. You can also use a bar code scanner and scan the Mark All Orders Designed task.
4. You are prompted to confirm that you want to mark all orders displayed as designed. Click Yes. All products that are currently displayed in the results list are marked as designed.
