Your eFactory homepage dashboard provides you with a quick glance of all your key fulfillment metrics. The dashboard provides actionable data for your day-to-day business as well as short cuts to dive deeper into various aspects of eFactory. By default, the homepage dashboard has six sections, but each section can be easily customized.
In this article, you’ll find how to:
KPI Widgets
Choose from 12 customizable widgets that reside at the top of your homepage dashboard. These include:
Orders received today
Backorders
Shipped today
RMA units
Fulfillment Section
Shows current orders, back orders, shipped units, and more for the day for each account.
This section is separated by account number in the instance that a customer has multiple accounts. For example, DCL customers have separate B2B and B2C accounts.
If you click on each numbered result, it will take you to a more detailed view of that dataset.
30-day activity
Shows a chart of order receipts and shipped orders by day over the last 30 days
Key Inventory & Setup
This section will show products you want to track closely. This view will help you monitor stock levels of your most important products and prompt you to order more at predefined levels. You can sort this section by Key (K), Reorder(R), or even short parts (S).
What are Key Items, Reorder Items, or Short Items?
Key Items
Items can become Key items by adding a key item code to the part number.
Key items are identified by our customers as the most important part number they want to see.
Key Items are identified by a "K" under the flag column
Contact your Account Manager to set up a Key item
Reorder Items
DCL can add a reorder point to item numbers.
When a part number hits that reorder point, then it will show in this section.
Parts with a reorder point added to them are identified by an "R" under the flag column.
Contact your Account Manager to set up a reorder point for your item
Items with a Shortage
If demand is greater than the available quantity, then the part will show. These will be parts with a negative in the NET column.
