Material Ordering
This process runs correctly under the mobile platform because this process includes the Geomap and Finger Signature mobile control. This process allows a company that orders material for their customers, and then delivers the material to a specific destination where the driver who sends the material signs the delivery order.
The following is an overview of the Material Ordering process:
- The process starts when a customer orders material. The customer fills in the request form with the required materials.
- The case routes to a Sales member after the request form is submitted. The Sales member reviews the order form and can approve or reject each item of the order.
- Then the case routes to the Store department where a warehouse employee approves or rejects the order. If the warehouse employee rejects the order, the case returns to the customer who oredered the materials. If the warehouse employee approves the order, the case routes to a driver.
- After the driver signs the order to send to the customer, the case routes to the customer who orderd the material.
- Finally, the customer signs the delivered order and the process ends.
