Questions, answered
Will it contact customers about their backorders automatically?
No. WebRun only posts an internal digest for your counter staff. Any customer communication is handled by your team so the message stays accurate and on-brand.
How does it define an overdue backorder?
It compares the expected receipt date already recorded in MAM Software Autopart against today's date. Any line past its promised date by more than 5 days is flagged overdue in the tracker.
What happens when a backorder is fulfilled?
WebRun reads live order status in Autopart each morning and removes fulfilled lines from the active tracker, so the digest only shows what is genuinely still outstanding.
