How to enter a "Buy X, Get X" order

Use this process for entering a Buy/Get order from the Vendor.

If placing an order for a Game-One spiff/promo coming from Holland or Carroll, jump to the bottom of this page for the process on these.


BOGO Deal with Vendor:

  1. Begin a Quote (remember a Quote should always be entered first)
  2. In the Description field, enter "BOGO Deal with 'Vendor Name'."
  3. Select the Customer's In-Hand date based on the vendor's current lead time. 
  4. In Style Entry, select the Vendor's CST item and choose a Variant. Use this Variant to commit the quantity the customer is paying for (this is the "Buy" product). Set a selling price for this Variant. Do not assign designs to these!
  5. Use the "Colors" tab to the right of the screen, or click Change Style to select a different variant of that same CST item used in Step 4. This CST item will be for the "Get" product and will have either no cost or a discounted cost, depending on the vendor's program.   
  6. Go to the Main tab of the quote and adjust the descriptions. (This helps many departments and is REQUIRED)

  2. Review & Complete the quote
  3. Follow the custom process listed here.
    1. Central region- place your own with the vendor.
    2. East and West regions - submit a custom form from Sales Deck

Spiff/Promo from Game-One:

For style numbers setup in FDM4, the system will always group product together on one line unless pieces of the same style are getting different decoration. Because of this, it is not possible to create two line items with the same product, but priced differently.


To enter the "Buy X Get X" orders that must pull from our inventory, you will need to cost-average the free items into the items you are selling the customer. For example: If the customer buys 24 hates at $25 each and get's 6 free, then the line item would show 30 hats priced at $20 each

To specify the free items to the customer, add an O/E Comment to the order.
