ORDER TYPE HELP

As part of the ordering process, you will have the opportunity to select the appropriate order type for the items you intend to place in the shopping cart. Please be aware that the first item added to a shopping cart sets the attributes for the cart and a cart can only contain items that are the same order type and contract type. For example if the first item is a contract order for a bonded stock item then only items from the bonded stock contract can be placed in the cart. The quantity of items for a parts management contract that can be added to a cart are also limited by the quantity shown on the contract. If you need to purchase items that are not covered on the contract or quantities that are above the contract level, you will need to create another cart and select Regular as the order type for the cart.

Customers
A Regular order is an order that will be billed to you. It will require either a Purchase Order or a Credit Card when you check out.

A System order is like a regular order; it will be billed to you and requires a Purchase Order or Credit Card at checkout.  It will be automatically consolidated onto a single shipment.

A contract order is an order for parts that are covered by a North American Service contract. Based on the usage allowed some contract orders will require a Purchase Order or Credit Card when you check out and will be billed to you.
