Booksellers – Viewing the Rep Suggested Orders

Reps can create suggested orders for you. If they do so, you’ll see an orange circle with their suggested order quantity next to your own order quantity field:

If you’d like to accept their suggestion, you can simply click on that orange circle, and that suggested number will show in your order field.

If you’d like to order a different quantity, simply add whatever number of units you’d like to your order field, effectively ignoring the suggested order.

Conversely, if your rep knows you well and you trust their judgment, you can choose to accept all of their suggestions in a given catalog or title list from your Actions menu at the top of the screen. You’ll need to first select all the titles in that catalog, then you can Accept Rep Suggestions. 

You can also choose to see rep suggestions or not. (Some buyers find suggestions distracting, others love them…you get to choose!) To do so, click Preferences at the top of your page and toggle “on” Suggestions:

Suggested Orders can be a great way for a rep to communicate that they feel a title is worthy of a larger (or smaller) than usual order, so they can be very helpful. If you’d prefer not to see suggested orders, be sure to let your reps know!

You can filter a list of titles by Suggestions if your rep has made any. Click Filter at the top of your page and toggle “on” the option under Markup Filters > Suggestions:

Note: This filter will only appear if your rep has, in fact, made Suggestions. If you do not see this refinement option, your rep did not make suggestions.
