Overview: This website will show the eventual ship date and details of your order with the following process. Once a PO is received by Poly Processing Company (PPC), we begin the process of creating drawings for the client to approve. This typically takes 7-10 days unless we need to call and discuss fitting locations (if not indicated on the quote or PO). After the drawings are returned to us as "approved" we release the order to manufacturing (RTM). We do not accept "approved as noted" where changes to drawing(s) are needed- but rather that becomes a revision drawing for client to be re-sent (3-4 days) and then finally approve. Approximately 3 days after final approved drawings are returned to us, we enter RTM phase and the order should appear on this PolyOrderCheck system with status, and updated daily at 1pm and 12AM(Midnight) Eastern time. See FAQ section below for more. |

Report Sections and Meanings |
||||||||||||||||
A= PO/SO Number Customer Purchase Order number that was provided to us, and Poly Processing Sales Order number. |
||||||||||||||||
B= Ship To Verify the correct address equipment will ship to. Also provides the POC (Point of Contact) our shipping department will arrange delivery details with (gate entrance, arrival permissions, unloading procedures, etc). This person will be personally contacted (1-3 days before Expected Ship Date) for arrival date at plant, and best person to check with for specifics once date gets close to Ship Date. This address or name often serves as a job reference name with us as well. |
||||||||||||||||
C= Plant equipment is shipping from This plant code is where your equipment is shipping from. If equipment is coming from more than one plant, it will be repeated as a seperate listing for other plants with the same PO# indicated. Each plant updates their own shipping details and report output. FCA = French Camp, California (CA) MLU = Monroe, Louisiana (LU) WVA = Winchester, Virginia (VA) |
||||||||||||||||
D= Comments This is where our shipping department and schedulers put comments for you. Terms, abbreviations, and phrases they use reguarly might be listed in the Glossary section below... A comment of [Shipment Confirmed] means the date shown in "Expected Ship Date" is now closer to 100% accurate as the freight carrier has committed back to us they will be there that day. If they were to be delayed from what they committed, we would update the "ship date" again, at next posting from when we were notified. |
||||||||||||||||
E= Expected Ship Date This is the date your equipment will be available for a freight carrier to pick it up. It is not necessarily the date the equipment DOES ship, but rather the date most likely to ship out. Sometimes the freight carrier can not arrive the exact date it was ready. If you are arranging your own freight, this is date you can communicate for them to be at our plant, but please email shipping department a week in advance to confirm. |
||||||||||||||||
F= Released to Manufacturing (RTM) Approximte date RTM phase started, to assist you in matching correct job. This should be a couple days after you returned your approval on drawings. If you do not see your order appear within a few days of approval drawings returned, please contact us! Be proactive in watching your order is progressing to all date time frames documented here. |

"No Such Account Number is Found" is returned
A few possibilities:
1) Did you mistype it? It should be 6 numerical digits, or a letter "C" followed by 6 numerical digits. The lookup works if you use a small case "c", A large cap "C", or no "c" at all (just the numerical digits) 2) If you have no current orders in RTM (Release to Manufacturing- see "overview" at top of this page for that process) then this system may not see your account when nothing is in RTM. Allow a couple days after your approved documents for RTM system to have your open order. 3) Please verify the account number is a Poly Processing account number we have with the issuer of the PO to us. (This may be our representative that you gave your order to, who then placed your order with us) so the account number would be that of our rep company, not your account number with them. The date on my report is older than 24 hrs
This happens when your orders have all shipped and nothing new is yet in RTM phase. Currently the system overwrites your last report page every 12-13 hours (see time stamp at top of your page). Once your order ships, your account comes off the "open orders" database unless another order in RTM is already keeping your account in that database. In such case there is no "new" report to overwrite the last one that was being sent up to that shipment date. With no "new" report to provide you, the last one ever shipped will remain there until it IS overwritten by a new update. In other words, you must have SOMETHING active in RTM to keep getting an updated page. Otherwise the last order you ever did will show until then.
Who do I call if I see an error or concern?
Please go through the salesperson that quoted you or any project manager you were given after your PO was received. We may need to revise PO since it is contractual and get an update. If you need help getting to your correct salesperson, call us at 866-765-9957 and we will look up your representative.
How do I know the date of arrival vs the Expected Ship Date?
The comments may show more specifics around the date freight carrier is picking up your order, otherwise base it on the estimated ship date which is >95% accurate. Then guess the travel time from that plant at about 8hrs per day. The shipping department may list the phone number for the carrier driver and you can check in with them directly. The Point of Contact, however, that you listed (name and phone number typically in the report Ship To address) is most likely to know arrival date, since our shipping department has likely discussed with them directly. Check in with the Point of Contact you provided us.
Some of my equipment is missing / not referred to / or not delivered.
Your tanks or equipment might be coming from more than one plant. If so, each factory will post a report row for the equipment they are providing. Each report row from each factory shipping department will have your same PO#, but may show different dates and comments
What if I'm arranging my own freight?
No problem. The Expected Ship Date - when it appears- should be the target window to give your carrier. Depending on the advance notice you need, send an email to your representative asking for the Expected Ship Date to be "confirmed" when possible. A confirmed Expected Ship Date in the comments is reliable. Please give the shipping department confirmation on the date your freight carrier will be there.

Avoid typing your account number every visit
Type your account number and [Check Orders] button to initially load your order(s). Once there, you can simply bookmark this resulting URL that shows your information. You can then just refresh it or return to that bookmark whenever desired, and skip the default page & having to type in your account number on that main page. Please come back to this Help page occassionally, however, and check Updates below, to see if we have improvements for your awareness.
Search for a specific PO or job on your orders page
A handy trick on any web page anywhere- press and hold together [Ctrl] and [F] keys. This is your browser "Find on page" command. Then type any PO#, or city, or plant name, etc- to find each instance of your search term on what we hope is a long list of orders! ;)
