WebFlow - Process
How is WebFlow Set-Up?
Creating a WebFlow approval process is easy:
- Ask your branch for a ‘Manager Role’ to be established for your WebStore login – If you don’t have a WebStore login yet one will be created for you
- Use the ‘Manage Users’ link (found under the ‘My Account’ tab to easily create ‘Users’ through a simple user friendly set-up. (shown below & to the right)
- All Users created here are shown in the list & can be maintained (Edited / Order Limit adjusted / deleted) from this screen. Using this method the ‘Manager’ of the account can set individual $ purchase limits. (‘Order Budget Limit’ field- shown: below & right image)
If a ‘Users’ order request exceeds the specified $ limit set by the ‘Manager’ the sales order request is held in place while an approval is obtained.
When an approval request is required this triggers an email to be sent to the ‘Manager’ of the ‘User’ via email for approval. The ‘Manager’ can then review the order and approve or reject it.
The ‘User’ is notified of the outcome by an email. The ‘Manager’ can also modify each ‘User’ account at any time either changing individual purchase limits for each ‘User’ or deleting their account with one click, a security feature which can lock access & prevent users from placing unwanted online purchases on the account.
Rexel’s WebFlow solution is made freely available to all our customers using a WebStore login that is linked to an active Rexel trading account.
Contact your local Rexel branch and ask for a WebFlow Account or contact Web Services direct at: webservices@rexel.com.au and state your business name and account number.
