JOANN Fabric: Submitting Grovesite DI Quotes

Items added to Grovesite will ship DI. Each “event” will have its own link to take you to that event’s dashboard.  The buyer will send the link to Charlene/Emily, and she will forward it to you.

Note:  If you don’t have a link to the event, log in to the Main Page of Grovesite (https://secure.grovesite.com/dashboard/index), where you can see all the events and select the one you need.

Log in to the dashboard and download the Upload Template; never use a saved template. Minor changes are constantly being made on Joann’s end.

 After the template has been completed, please review your work before uploading.

 Go back to the Grove Site portal and click on Secure Quotes to upload your info.

Then, Import Records

Click Next

Find your document and click next

Your info will appear on a chart

Click Import, then Finish.

After the quotes are loaded, go into each quote and add a photo of the item.

If there were any info missing from the quote or in an improper format, you would correct it here as it will not save with missing/wrong info.

Next, JOANN will ask you to submit Classification document for each item:

Please read the specific instructions about naming the document, as instructions change frequently. Everything you need to complete the Classification document will have been filled out on the quote upload, except the factory address (ask the Product Specialist for this).

Then, go back to the Secure Quote dashboard and add the Classification doc in the Discussion Link.

Refer to the Classification Template page for specific instructions on what to put in the Subject line.

Add posting, then Save.

You can export the quote and review the quote details. Change the Current View to Quote Check View in the drop-down.

Click on Export Records with Image.

Save the file to the customer folder and review your work.  Go back into the quote and make any edits if necessary.  Export the final records with the image if any edits are made.

Let Charlene and Emily know when all steps are complete.
