Suggest order quantities

BNC CataList allows sales reps to suggest order quantities using the Custom Catalogue feature. Suggested quantities are displayed to all custom catalogue recipients when they view the catalogue using the catalogue grid view or title detail page options.

Suggest order quantities in bulk

If you have an ISBN file that includes the suggested quantities for each title, you can upload the file to add or update suggested quantities in bulk. The process of uploading suggested quantities uses the same ISBN file upload process, with a few differences:

• When uploading an ISBN file with suggested order quantities, select the “This file includes suggested quantities” checkbox in the form.

• Make sure your suggested quantities are in Column B of your ISBN file.

See Upload an ISBN file to CataList for more detailed instructions.

Suggest order quantities for individual titles

When you are using the title detail page and catalogue scrolling view, you can enter suggested order quantities in the Suggested Qty text box. If you choose to display the Suggested Qty column in the catalogue grid view, you can enter quantities in the Sugg. Qty text box as well.

Suggested quantities are saved automatically as you work through catalogues. CataList displays a checkmark when your changes have been successfully saved.
