There you will be asked to enter the email address you user is associated with. The system will then email you a new randomly generated password for you to login with. It is suggested that you then login and go to the My Settings area to change your password to something that you will remember

If you don't know what email your account is associated with then you must contact Nu-Way by phone to verify your information and retrieve the email address you used.

The Place Order screen has 2 important "tabs": Shopping Cart and Most Purchased Items. There are 2 ways to add items to your shopping cart: Most Purchased Items or Search

The Most Purchased Items area lists the 100 items that you have bought most often, listed in Alphabetical Order. You can go through the list, add quantities next to each item you desire, and then click ANY of the "Add Item(s)" buttons to add all the items with quantities next to them to your cart

If an item you want isn't list or easily found in your Most Purchased Items list, you can search for it by typing in a few letters into the Search field. The Search returns all of the items with your letters in it's name, listed IN ORDER OF YOUR POPULARITY. That is in order of how often you ordered that item. To add an item to your cart just click on it. It will be added to your cart and then you can change its quantity there.

If you can't find an item in your Most Purchased Items list or by Searching, place item descriptions and quantities in the Notes area an Nu-Way will work to find and enter these items into your order

At any time you can change the quantities of an item in your cart by typing in a new value and hitting TAB. Or you can delete an item by clicking the "Delete" button next to the item

Once you have all your items and quanities entered, make sure to SELECT A DATE FOR DELIVERY at the TOP RIGHT and then click "Submit Order". The order will be processed and then you will receive a Verification Message.

View Purchase Orders
An admin account can see what they need to buy from which vendors over a date range. All same items for orders in the date range are added together and then then items are grouped according to Vendor. Vendors can also be designated so that they subgroup by Account.

To view purchase orders first login to your user that has admin rights. Then on the My Page in Admin Controls, select "View Purchase Orders"

By default it loads the POs for the next day. If you want another range of dates select the Start Date and Stop Date and click "Generate POs". You can also optionally choose to only see the PO for a single Vendor

If you want to print the POs, after you Generate the POs for the range you want (see above) click on "View Printable Version". This will bring up the same POs but without the header and footer of the webpage and will pagebreaks after each vendor so each vendor will be printed on a separate page.
