Instruction for Buyers

Buyers: When you see the description/comment referencing Adidas Futures, please work with your lead buyer on who is handling these orders. Each location will assign a specific buyer or two to manage the placement of these orders. 

Adding the Art

Since these orders will have a PO attached, please work with your CRR to get the correct artwork added, including images, method, location and pricing. The CRR will have the ability to edit an order with the PO and can confirm the order once updated. 

When adding the new art follow these steps:

1. Go to Order Entry > Edit Existing Order
2. Click Show Order Lines
3. Click the first product > Apply Design > Quick Design and create the design for the garment and apply it.
4. If other garments are getting the exact same design (same method/location/color), then please click Apply Design and type in or choose from the existing designs in the gallery. 
5. Repeat steps 3/4 until all art has been replaced with the correct art.
6. Review & Complete the order. It will hit the artist's queue.

Please add the art to your orders as quickly as possible to ensure on-time delivery.
