Issue #1:
Description: Redirected to "Request Order Support Online" page (Figure 10: Request Order Support Online page)
Details: When using the New Premier Invoice Report, some customers are being redirected to this page when clicking an Invoice link instead of being redirected to the Invoice PDF. This is being investigated by Dell IT and Development Teams.
What can you do? Try closing out of the "Request Order Support Online" page and then click the same Invoice link a second time. If clicking the Invoice link a second time still does not return the Invoice PDF you can try using the Order Status application (if enabled for your Premier Webpage), fill out the request form, or try again later.
