  • Import to Shopping Cart - New & Lost Placements + Buyers & NonBuyers - A distribution report designed to assist in creating actionable tasks for sales representatives. It integrates with the import to shopping cart or targeted sales execution dashboards. This report pulls a significant amount of data, so it is recommended to use the robust filter set to filter the data first for best results. By default, this report runs as a 90-day distribution report. However, you can override this default by using Date Range filters or specifying a Period selection.

Best Practices

  • Shopping Cart Tasks will only be generated for customers that do not contain the chosen product in their Customer History (default 180 days, can be adjusted in System Settings 131)
    ​
    ​

  • Once the product on a Shopping Cart is added to an invoice, that product will never be on that customer’s Shopping Cart again
    ​
    ​
    ​

  • Other Fusion Reports can be used on the Import to Shopping Cart dashboard with the following requirements:
    ​
    - Customer ID and Product ID included in the report with the Data Type: "Check Box"
