This page explains how to create a clock delivery form in Floriday. Do you create delivery forms in your own software package? That's no problem! As long as your software provider is connected to Floriday, the clock delivery forms will also be sent to RFH.

When submitting load carriers for auction, ensure that one delivery form is attached to each load carrier. Do you have a large consignment? Then you will receive as delivery forms as there are load carriers. If you have a Mix batch with more than 4 (Aalsmeer) or 5 (Naaldwijk) batches, a second clock delivery form will be generated.


Create a clock delivery form


In the menu on the left, go to Fulfillment > Delivery orders. Click on the tab Clock delivery forms to see an overview of created clock delivery forms as well as the total amount of orders and load carriers for the current period.

You may change the period on the left hand side and can filter on auction location, status and document reference.


Click on Create delivery form to continue.


Select the appropriate Dispatch Location, Auction Location, Auction Group, and Auction Date. Below you can enter which Carrier you use.

Tip!

The Dispatch Location and Auction Location can also be set as default under Settings > Preferences > Auction Delivery preferences. By doing this, the Dispatch Location and Auction Location are automatically filled in for you when you create a new clock delivery form.


Auction groups

If you’ve filled in auction groups before, you will see these as suggestions beneath your auction groups. This means you don't have to keep searching for the auction group, but simply click on the suggestion to add it.



Decide if you are going to auction a single lot (1P), a large lot (GP) or mixed lot (MP), and select the appropriate option. Then add the trade items you want to auction.

Single lot

If you want to auction a single lot on a single load carrier, choose 1P.

Large lot

If you want to auction a large lot (two or more load carriers), choose GP.

Mixed lot

If you want to auction a mixed lot on one load carrier, choose MP.

Tip!

In Floriday, you can also create forms even faster by using templates. Read how to use a template here.


Then choose the item(s) you want to auction by looking up the item in the search bar or via the catalog icon (right).

When you have selected an item, the following screen appears.



Photos

On the left-hand side, you can see the photo used by default with the article. Use the 3 dots or the two icons below the photo to change the product photo or detail photo.


Characteristics or variants

Here you can change the characteristics of the article or choose a variant (You can choose characteristics or variants via the three dots at the top right behind your name Settings > Preferences > Display variants).

Next to the properties, click the '+' icon to add a property. Below the properties, you can enter the positive and/or negative verification codes.


​When you change one or more properties, a variant of your item is created in the catalog for that item.

To permanently change the properties of your item, click the Save icon.


Load carrier, number of packages and packing configuration

Next to the characteristics, you see the selected standard load carrier and packing configuration set in the catalog. Next to the load carrier, you can enter the number of extra layers per load carrier.

If desired, you can choose a different load carrier or packing configuration, or add a completely new packing configiration by clicking on the down arrow.

Below that, you enter the number of packages (pkgs). You can also change the number of pieces per package (pp.p) and the load.

Please note!

DCs (Danisch Containers) can also be delivered for auction of plants at Naaldwijk and Aalsmeer. If you also offer these as clock presale supply, buyers can only purchase them per entire DC.

The percentage displayed indicates how full your load carrier is.

This is only an indication for yourself and is based on the completed load of your article in the Catalogue.


Clock presale

You can optionally enter a clock presale price in the auction letter. This is optional and can also be set after creating a letter via Supply > Clock > Clock presale. Here you can also set preset clock presale prices and the percentage of clock presale via the three dots. The maximum pre-sale percentage is 80%.

Please note!

Are you working with preset prices in the Clock presale screen? Then these prices are leading, the price you enter on the letter will have no effect.

Would you rather enter the price at the time of creating the auction letter? Then remove the preset prices in the Clock presale screen via the three dots > Settings.


Minimum price for clock entry

When completing the clock letter, fill in the Minimum Price field. The individual minimum price is the price you set as grower per lot/article. With a minimum price, you determine the lowest price you will still accept for your product. Here you can take your cost price into account. If the clock price falls below this price, the batch/product will be sold on.

If you want more information on entering the minimum price, you can find it here.

Print & send

Once you have finished the letter, you have a number of options:

  • Click on Delivery form preview to preview the letter already. You can also press Ctrl + Enter on your keyboard as a shortcut for this.

  • Click Send delivery form to send this letter only.

  • Click Send & New delivery form to finish this letter and start a new one.

  • To send and print the letter, click Print & submit.

After you have created all your letters, you can view and print all your letters via Fulfillment > Delivery orders > Clock delivery forms.

You have now created an delivery form in Floriday. The letter has been sent and you can send off the load carrier. The letter can now be found at Fulfillment > Delivery orders > Clock delivery forms. Did something go wrong when creating the letter? Then you can correct or cancel it.


In Preferences (via the three dots at the top right behind your name Settings > Preferences), you also have several options to set your clock delivery preferences:

  • Packaging owner

  • Remarks

  • Service code

  • Sorting preference

  • Empty pieces per package

  • Preset clock pre-sale prices

As soon as you turn on these extra features in the preferences, they also appear on the screen.

Tip

The Dashboard can be cutomized to show a button for creating auction letters.

To do so, click on your name in the top right-hand corner. Then click Settings > Preferences. Under Navigation, click Dashboard shortcuts. There you can customise the buttons you want to see on your Dashboard.


Via the Settings button on Supply > Auction > Supply you can optionally set a preference for the auction order:

  • Sequence based on delivery notes

  • Sequence based on primary characteristic

  • Sequence based on clock pre-sales price and primary characteristic

  • Sequence based on manually determined characteristics

Please note!

With Central Auctioning, you can now specify a location order. This allows you to determine which RFH hub you want your products auctioned on first. Learn how to set this up here.
