Purchasing clock pre-sale supply

Clock presales allow you to buy flowers or plants in small quantities prior to auctioning on the clock. This gives you flexibility and security as a buyer and allows you to buy finely-meshed.

How does it work?

For flowers, you can buy Clock presale from 12.00 in the morning until 5.55 the next day (just before the clock process starts).
For plants, you can buy Clock Pre-Sales from 12.00 in the morning until 6.25 the next day (just before the clock process starts).
Growers can sell up to 50% (as of 17-12-24: 80%, with at least 1 cask for clock) of your clock supply through Clock presale.

How do you do this in Floriday?

From the menu, go to Explorer. Here you are in the Explorer search screen. There are two ways to search on Clock Presale. Via Purchasing you can search on Clock presale and the direct supply at the same time. Via Clock pre-sales, you will only see the Clock pre-sale supply.

Purchasing clock pre-sales via Clock Pre-sales

From the Explorer search screen, click on the Clock pre-sale tile. By clicking on it, you will immediately see all the Clock pre-sale supply. In the filters on the left, you can select the locations from which you want to see the clock pre-sale supply. You can then use the filters to further specify which supply you want to see.

Using the various filter options, you can find the supply you are looking for. You can select which product groups you want to see. You do this by clicking on List at the filter VBN product group (see green outline in the picture below).

Do you use a particular filter set often? Then you can save it. By clicking Saved filters & selections and then clicking the save icon, you save the current selection. You can find more explanations about saved filters here.

When you want to buy something and are looking through the tile view, click on the purple shopping cart. The order dialogue will now open. Here you can add a plate number and/or seat number in addition to the number of packages. You can also set these by default via the preferences.

When you want to buy something you choose the purple shopping cart. You can then enter the number of packages you want to buy. By default, there is a 5-minute reflection period when you buy something in the Explorer. You can skip this reflection time by clicking on One recent order in the upper right corner and then for Skip Cancellation Request.

Purchasing clock pre-sales from Purchasing

If you want to see the clock presale supply and the direct supply at the same time, you can do so in Purchasing. In the filters on the left, go to Supply and then you can turn on or off the Clock presale supply. By default this is on for All locations, but can selected for specific locations.

With Clock pre-sales, it can happen that a grower offers the same item (with the same characteristics), at different auctions. In Floriday, we have indicated these items in the list view with a line.

Please note!

On Wednesdays, Clock pre-sales batches listed at Eelde are visible in Floriday even before 12:00pm. This is because the auction process does not take place on Wednesdays, so purchases can be made earlier.
