• The shipping address number is printed on any invoice or packing list that comes from Kurtz Bros.. It's an eight character number (including some letters) to identify your address to us.

My teacher is not supposed to be able to make orders, but we just got a package in the mail. How did this happen?

If the user sees the payment details page, something is wrong. Either the teacher has created an order without logging in, or the account has been set up to create orders. If the order has been processed and sent, you'll have to contact Customer Service to work out a solution. Customer Service can delete the order so that in can be recreated properly.

• Check the user’s account type.
• Click on the Registered Users link in the navigation bar at the top of the page (under Admin).
• Click on the User’s name.
• Make sure the “Save requisitions for me to review” parameter is set to “Yes”. If it is not, change it to “Yes” and click the Update User button.

Requisitioning

Can I consolidate my requisitions but still have them packed by teacher?

• No. Consolidation makes one big order out of all the requisitions, combining even the quantities of individual items.
• To have your orders packed by teacher, you must process all the requisitions individually.
• To process a group of individual orders at one time, select all the necessary requisitions on the Open Requisitions page and clicking Approve.

I can't find a requisition that I know should be there. Where is it?

• The user may not have marked the requisition finished when they saved it. Ask the user to look for the requisition in their open requisitions list. If it is in the list, they can approve it and it will be sent to your account for review.
• It is also possible that the requisition wasn't completely saved. The requisition is not saved in the system until the Save button is clicked on the page with requisition details. If the user can't find anything under the Open Requisitions page, then this is what happened. The user will need to recreate the requisition.

I made a mistake on my requisition. How can I change it?

• If you did not mark the requisition as finished when you saved it, you can make changes to it by clicking on the Open Requisitions link on the navigation bar. Find the requisition and click on the number to load it into the shopping cart.
• If the requisition was marked as finished when you saved it, then you will need to contact your administrator. Your administrator can either make the change for you, or send the requisition back to you.

Pre-order freight charge estimates are available upon request.
