We Have the Answer! Q. Why does the customer’s invoice not match Grainger.com? A. These may not match because Grainger.com does not reflect any changes that are made after the order is placed. Q. Why was my customer charged $12.95 freight, when last time they ordered it, they were only charged $3.24? A. Freight is now quoted at the line level. If there are multiple lines, the freight is disbursed among the lines. Q. How will the customer know about things like order multiples or mandatory line requirements? A. Line level comments will be added by the Sourcing Specialist informing the customer of special instructions. SEE FAQ’S :eQuotes FAQseQuotes FAQs
32
We Have the Answer! Q. How many times can the customer order off of one quote? A. Line today, only one time. Customer can see their previous placed orders on Grainger.com, but will get a notification that they must submit a new quote to place another order for that product. Q. I need to see the quote before my customer does. How can I get this one quote to come to me first? A. Opt-in or Opt-out. This is the branches responsibility to do so. They can find this option in VA02/VA22, under the additional Data B tab. Check the boxes to Opt-In, Uncheck them to Opt-out. We Can do this, but if they are able to, put the responsibility back on them. Great teaching opportunity! Q. My customer needs to return a sourcing item they ordered off of Grainger.com. How do I do this? A. Process remains the same. The return will not appear on Grainger.com SEE FAQ’S :eQuotes FAQseQuotes FAQs 32Grainger Confidential - For Internal Use Only

Slide 22 Note placement mapping (what transfers where? ) slide 14 Do we know what the new timeline looks like? A: After Grainger Show… What is the difference between “Order history” and “Purchased items” on slide 7? (order level vs item level) Will credits and/or invoicing show on G.com? – NO. G.com is a shell post-order Will payment terms be displayed on G.com? (changed from open terms to CC, or vice-versa) (test in UAT – can customers even do this?)
