Ordering
Ordering Methods:
To place a regular stock order we recommend the following electronic ordering methods:
• Computer to Computer (EDI)
• Remote Order Entry Unit
• Via the Internet on blishmize.com
Electronic order entry is faster, more accurate and more economical. Orders may also
be mailed, faxed or telephoned to our Customer Service Department.

Order Quantity Rounding:
Blish-Mize’s optional rounding program allows you to have your order quantities
automatically rounded to economical sell pack quantities. Ordering in sell pack carton
quantities reduces order costs such as handling costs and the broken sell pack adder.
Rounding is limited to order quantities within the percentage limits you specify. These
percentages may be set for all items or by department. The order quantity will not
round down unless the order quantity is greater than one sell pack, i.e. it will not round
down to zero.
Examples:
a. Round up limit=75% or more of sell pack; sell pack=12; 75% of 12=9. Round up
order quantities of 9 to 11 to sell pack of 12; 21 to 23 to two sell packs of 12(24), etc.
b. Round down limit=20% or less of sell pack; sell pack=10; 20% of 10=2. Round down
order quantities of 11 to 12 to sell pack of 10; 21 to 22 to two sell packs of 10 (20), etc.
