Portal Confirmations


Portal Management -> Portal Confirmations

When a customer on Portal submits a Shopping Cart for a reservation or quotation, a confirmation number is assigned and a Portal request is generated in preparation for staff to review and to convert it to a reservation or quotation.
This utility can be used to review the Portal requests and to convert them and then complete them in Counter Worksheet.

If the Auto Convert To Document flag is set in the Presentation Theme configuration, then Portal requests submitted from that theme automatically create the reservation or quote for the customer.
A "Portal Confirmation" is still created in SRM, but it is flagged as already processed without requiring any processing action by your staff, and can be selected and viewed from 'History' in the Portal Confirmation Search.

Email Notification from Portal Request:

  1. When the Shopping Cart is submitted to your store for a Portal request, a confirmation email is automatically issued to the customer.
  2. A second email is sent to alert the rental store staff per the email address designated for that customer in the expanded record in Portal Customers.
    If no specific staff email address is entered for the customer, then the email address for the store division in Global Portal Settings is notified.
    If no email address is setup for the division, then the email address for the company in Global Portal Settings is notified according to Quote or Reservation document type.
  3. A third email can be triggered to alert the customer, when the rental store staff converts or deletes a Portal request,

Email Notification of Portal Document:

  1. When the Shopping Cart is submitted to immediately create a Reservation or Quote, per the Auto Convert To Document option set in the Presentation Theme, then a confirmation email is only sent to the customer and it contains the new document number as well as the confirmation number.
