Summary

Order Grids on Ascend HQ allows you to order from anywhere and for multiple locations at once. Ascend is integrated with Trek Bicycle for supplier orders, which makes it easy to check product availability in Ascend before you place an order. You can look at product data by categories in Order Grids or check individual product information in Product Specs.

Order Grids Search
If you have a multi-store dealership with more than 10 locations, select your locations that you would like to view in the upper right hand corner.

Note: Your search will be based off the first location in your selected locations in the upper right.  

Select your appropriate lowest-level category for the items you want to view. To save on load time, products will only display for the lowest level categories.

Determine if you would like to only show new products or include unavailable products and check the boxes accordingly.


 

 

If you want the form to load faster and you do not feel the need to look at your location quantity details, you can leave the "Show Store Quantity Details" unchecked.

That means that the following data will not generate:

Order Grid - Upper Grid
If you have multiple locations selected, you will see a tab for each location including a summary tab for All locations.  

The first few columns are based off the Trek Category data.

The Availability column is extremely useful - it pulls data so you can see what quantities are available for each product at the various Trek warehouses. Next to Availability is the Quantity Needed column, which lets you know if you have any items that need to be reordered (based on the Min and Max levels you have set).

Select the checkbox to the left of a product to edit the Qty to Order field. It will default to the Qty needed, but can be edited to the amount you wish to order for the product.

 

 

You can click on a Trek field for a specific product to be taken to the Trek B2B Product Specs page.

The columns displayed on the right are based off Ascend data for your locations.  The All Locations tab will show a sum of the data across all your locations selected in the upper right.

Order Grid - Lower Details Section
 

When you click on a product, more details will load in the lower section. This grid displays details based off the last 24 months of data.  You can continue to navigate in the upper grid while the lower grid loads.

Add to Cart

The location with the number of items that would be added to the cart is listed to the left of the Add to Cart button to inform you as to which locations you will be adding item to.
