Viewing RTB Pre Orders

Use the Account Inquiry > Pre RTB tab to view RTB pre order details and costs.

The Pre RTB tab displays request to buy (RTB) data only if the Alio Advanced Purchasing module is used. LINQ recommends hiding the Pre RTB tab if your organization does not use the Alio Advanced Purchasing software module.
