Manager Guide: Processing Payments for Manual Vendors
Manager Guide: Processing Payments for Manual Vendors
When a Sales Rep successfully builds a saved cart for a manual vendor (Wurth, KCD, or USCD) and moves the ticket to Submitted, the responsibility shifts to Management to officially pay for the order and release it for fulfillment.
Step 1: Locating Orders that Need Payment
As a Manager, you have two ways to see when a rep has queued up an order for purchase:
-
Automated Email Alerts: The moment a rep moves a qualifying vendor ticket to
Submitted, HubSpot will automatically send you an email notification requesting payment. -
The HubSpot Dashboard: Log into HubSpot, navigate to Sales > Tickets, and open the "Orders needing payment" saved view. This dashboard acts as your daily queue, displaying all tickets currently sitting in the
Submittedstatus for these specific vendors.
Step 2: Pay for the Order
-
Open the ticket from your queue to see which vendor and deal it belongs to.
-
Log into the specific vendor's portal (Wurth, KCD, or USCD).
-
Locate the "Saved Cart" or pending order the Sales Rep built.
-
Process the payment using the company card or established account terms.
-
Save the resulting Invoice or Sales Order (SO) document to your computer.
Step 3: Update HubSpot & Log the Details
Once the order is paid for, you must update the HubSpot ticket.
-
On the ticket, change the status from
SubmittedtoPaid. -
The Pop-Up Screen: Moving the ticket to Paid will trigger a required property screen. You must fill out the following details so the warehouse knows when to expect the materials:
-
Attach SO / Invoice Doc: Upload the PDF receipt/order confirmation you just saved.
-
Invoice / SO Number: Type in the exact confirmation number.
-
Expected Order Ship Date: Use the calendar selector to log when the vendor says the items will ship.
-
Backorders: Select Yes or No.
-
🛑 The Backorder Protocol
If you selected "Yes" for Backorders on the pop-up screen, you must take one additional step:
-
Locate the Order Notes dependant property on the ticket.
-
Type the exact details of the backordered items (e.g., “3 hinges backordered, expected next Tuesday”).
-
System Note: Writing these details in the Order Notes property automatically pushes the information to a separate backend Backorders property, alerting the warehouse and fulfillment teams of the delay.
