The Dashboard is the home page in Prendio where users can create new carts, check on existing orders, and respond to notification requests. Below is a quick intro to the most common Dashboard activities
Create Punchout Carts
Suppliers will make their web sites available for shopping through punchout. Click on their logo to launch their site and shop. Checkout from their site will create a Prendio cart ready for approval. To learn more about creating a cart using a punchout, please visit: Creating A Prendio Punchout Order
Create Non-Punchout Carts
A non-punchout or custom cart is any cart that does not use the punchout process to define its contents. These carts can include parts (with part numbers) or services (no part numbers) and can be created for any supplier. Items added to the cart can come from the Catalog Search, located at the top of the Dashboard, from past orders:
Carts can also be created or by manual entry:
New suppliers (not yet set up for a company) can be requested. Type out the complete Supplier Name and add the supplier's website or email address:
If available, attach the W-9 for the supplier:
Search Catalog
Prendio's catalog includes part number items that your company has previously ordered as well as items ordered by your peers at similar biotech companies. Items found in the results can be added to an existing non-yet-submitted cart or to a new cart. If the item is available by punchout, a button to launch the supplier's punchout will be displayed.
Search Existing Orders
My Orders is a listing of your recent orders. To search past orders including orders placed by other users, click the View All links to the right on the My Orders section:
For more info on Searching Old Orders, click here. By clicking on the history of an order, you can view the related transactions including packing slips, invoices, and funds remaining on the order. View the original cart for the order to duplicate the cart to re-order the same items in a new cart.
Announcement, Holidays and Support
Prendio and your Company Admin will provide periodic updates regarding company announcements, holidays including dates on which packages will not be received and options for Prendio self-help, requests and contacting your buyer to help you with existing orders.
