Creating Order Guides

  • Click the Create OG button on the Order Guide Tab
  • Type the Order Guide Name and Click OK
    • Remember  If you type an Asterisk (*) before the Order Guide name, it will be shared to the entire hotel. Others can order from it, but only the creator can delete/add items, or delete the Order Guide.
  • To Add Items via Import to an Order Guide Download the Template
    • Click Exp Template to download and save file (save as .csv file type)
    • Send template to vendor to complete last 6-12 months order history or copy/paste from a spreadsheet
      • Don't delete, rename, or modify the first three rows of the template
      • Don’t add any formatting 
      • The default file type is a .csv file and should not be saved as an Excel file
      • Make sure there are no blank rows in the template otherwise any items past that row will not upload
      • Make sure there are no spaces in the file name
      • The second row will indicate which fields are required
      • The Unit Price column indicates it's not required, but this information should be included for accurate ordering 
      • Provide the Unit of Measure CODE instead of the term (i.e. Case = CS)
    • Complete one template per supplier
  • To Upload the Completed Template Click on Imp Template and follow prompts to select supplier, the template, and the Order Guide (or choose to create new Order Guide)
    • **The imported items will be available within an hour (process runs at half past each hour)
