Mercury Administration: Delivery Priority Code Screen

From FloristWiki

The Delivery Priority Code option allows you to create your own custom delivery codes to use in Order Entry (for example “ASAP” or “BEFORE 1PM”). These codes are used to designate when an order should be delivered in Order Entry and Point of Sale.

The Delivery Priority Code screen contains the following settings:

Column	Description
Code	Delivery priority codes can be up to for characters in length and must be unique. Ensure that codes are easy to understand; your employees can select these codes in the Time Detail delivery field in Order Entry and Point of Sale. A recommended formatting scheme is A##A, A##P, B##A, and B#P. For example, A9A for After 9 A.M., A12P for After 12 P.M., B10A for Before 10 A.M., B5P for Before 5 P.M., and so on.
Description	Explain the delivery priority code. This text is for display purposes and does not print on the invoice.
Print Field	This is required if you want to select delivery priority codes in Order Entry and Point of Sale. The text that you enter here displays in the Time Detail list in Order Entry and Point of Sale and prints on the Order Entry invoice. If you do not type text in the Print Field column, the delivery code is not available to select in Order Entry and Point of Sale.
Priority	Assign each code a priority number between 1 and 9, number 1 being the highest priority, and 9 being the lowest priority. If you have Mercury Delivery, delivery priority codes display in the mapping and routing screens so that you can see the priority of the orders as you are creating delivery routes.
