Automatic Pricing
Automatic pricing is done via a multi-tier pricing structure. If an override price is not entered, the system checks for a contract price or customer class price. If a contract or customer class price is not found, the price is calculated using the customer class and item-class discount or markup pricing structure. Prices are calculated as either markups from unit cost or as discounts from the sales price in the Inventory Master. Calculated prices can then be checked against the Item Price File to determine if the order qualifies for an additional discount because of the quantity ordered. Additional trade discounts may also be entered in the Customer Master, which is applied after all other discounts.

Concise Inventory Management
Stock, Re-Order, Back-Order, and Back-Log reporting features help users track available inventory balances, as well as inventory purchasing requirements. Complete multi-warehouse and physical location identifier codes help to provide accurate physical counts to perpetual inventory quantities and values. Key areas of control such as Lead Time, Safety Stock, ABC ranking, Re-order Point and Re-order Quantities are standard items built into this application to enhance your inventory control. Physical inventory is simplified through the use of barcode scanners, allowing for minimal entry of physical count.

Inquiries
Users can easily access vital customer information such as sales detail, item status, stock avail-ability, reorder analysis, alternate vendors, and items. Inquiry capability allows users to select items by a number of variables, and once an item has been selected, detailed information is displayed. This same inquiry reflects key historical information which includes month-to-date and year-to-date quantities received, issued, adjusted, transferred, credited and sold. The advanced function inquiry also allows users to view job commitments and alternate vendors.

Flexible Quotations/Order Maintenance
Our Order Entry application provides users with the flexibility of classifying an order as a quote for future commitment or shipment. Once formal authorization is received, the order type may be changed from a quotation to an actual order, via the flexible order entry/maintenance option. Order Entry/Maintenance also provides the ability to add, change or delete items from an existing order. Improved control and enhanced customer service is provided with the powerful Order Entry/Maintenance option.
