Presentation Centre

What is Presentation Centre?

In the XoroERP system, the presentation is a platform that allows B2B customers to explore products, place orders, and streamline their purchasing processes. The presentation is essentially a gateway for B2B customers to navigate through the array of products available for sale. You can design and define the presentation attributes in the Presentation Centre. This allows you to tailor the presentation to your specific needs, incorporating product details, images, pricing information, and any other relevant data. This customization ensures that the presentation aligns with the unique branding and messaging of the business.

Once the presentation is defined, you can then proceed to generate a link for the presentation, which can be used by the portal users to access the presentation.

Force Item Sell Package Quantity in B2B Module

XoroERP's B2B module introduces a robust feature designed to enforce packaging standards for items sold through the platform. This feature, "Force Item Sell Package Qty," ensures that orders adhere strictly to predefined selling units, maintaining consistency and streamlining inventory management.

Location in B2B Module: The "Force Item Sell Package Qty" field is accessible under the “Other Attributes Tab” within the B2B presentation settings.

Setting Up the Sell Package Quantity:

1. Define Sell Package Quantity:

• Navigate to the Create Item module.

• Under the Inventory tab, set the Item’s Sell Package Quantity.

1. Enable Force Sell Package Quantity:

• Check the "Force Item Sell Package Qty" checkbox in the B2B presentation settings.

• This ensures that quantities added to the order must be in multiples of the defined Sell Package Quantity.

Functionality:

• Order Validation:

  • When the "Force Item Sell Package Qty" checkbox is enabled, the system will enforce that the order quantity matches the specified multiples of the Sell Package Quantity.

  • If a different quantity is entered, the system will prevent adding the item to the cart and display an error message, guiding the user to correct the quantity.

Benefits:

• Consistency: Ensures orders are placed in standard package quantities, reducing errors and improving order accuracy.

• Efficiency: Streamlines the ordering process by adhering to preset quantities, facilitating easier inventory tracking and management.

• Control: Provides greater control over how items are sold, enhancing operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

This feature is particularly beneficial for businesses that deal with bulk items or need to maintain strict inventory controls, ensuring that all orders are consistent with predefined packaging standards.
