Transactions Types

Goods Receiving
We cater for 3 different stock receipt processes (GRVs)

1. Receiving Sheet Process
On delivery the clerk captures the invoice details as it appears on the suppliers invoice, including quantity and invoice price. The system then prints a ‘receiving sheet’ which is used by the receiving manager to receive the goods .Any discrepancies between the receiving sheet and the actual delivery is marked on the receiving sheet.

The next phase is the capture of the updated receiving sheet. Once captured, the system compares the suppliers invoice to the actual delivery details and to the purchase order. The system then prints a Goods Received Note and also any system generated claims for price differences or short delivered goods. The system will update stock quantity, average and last cost and post document to store back-office .The system will also automatically sync Head-office Vision and Sap Business One.

2. Capture Invoice and receiving details immediately
The stock clerk will capture receiving details and variances on invoice immediately. This process will still do comparison against purchase order, invoice and received details and generate automatic claims, this procedure will make the process shorter than the previous one.

3. Capture actual received details.
This process will allow you to capture details as is with no automatic generation of claims.

Supplier Returns
This process is used when returning stock to suppliers

Adjustments
This option is only used when stock has to be adjusted manually on the system.

This module caters for the scenario where a customer buys and pays for goods but does not take possession of those goods immediately. These goods may be delivered or collected at a later time. In order to control the movement of these goods, the system allows multiple dispatched against an invoice.

The system will automatically send required data to stores and bring back information required at head-office.

Additional Features

Shelf replenishment system: You can allocate bin loc numbers to shelf which will store product info such as re-order qty . As the till points sells these items the system will monitor and send a alert to a person responsible for stock replenishment from a bulk location or warehouse , thus ensuring that there is always sufficient stock on shelf.
