Store Transfers

Go to the Transfers Menu.

  • TX-22 for Text
  • GM-24 for GM

Both an Outbound Transfer and an Inbound Transfer must be done.

Outbound Transfers are created by the store sending items to another store. This decrements the inventory of the sending store (This does not increment inventory of receiving store.)

Inbound Transfers are created by the store receiving items from another store. This increments the inventory of the receiving store. (This does not decrement inventory of sending store.)

Transfers proceed as follows:

The sending store follows the steps for Outbound Transfers:

  1. Create New Outbound Transfer
  2. Print Pick/Pack Slip
  3. Pull Textbooks to be Shipped
  4. Complete Outbound Transfer

The store receiving the items follows the steps for Inbound Transfers:

  1. Create New Inbound Transfer
  2. Pull In Transfer Record
  3. Complete the Transfer

This document is split into sections for Outbound Transfers and Inbound Transfers.

Outbound Transfers

These steps are explained in detail:

Create Transfer

Choose menu option 1

Enter store number you are transferring to

  • Enter “.” in the Document field
  • Enter “L” in the Local/Remote field
  • Fill out the rest of the fields appropriately, entering each ISBN/SKU to be transferred in the ISBN/SKU field. Use the help messages to assist you.
  • Enter the quantity to be shipped in the SHQTY field
  • Now write down the document number (found in the Document field) and save the document

Print Pick/Pack Slip

In the Transfers menu choose Print Pick/Pack Slip Outbound, menu option 21

  • Leave Entry Date and Status Date fields blank
  • Enter the document number (that you wrote down) in the Document Number field
  • Hit “Y” to run report and choose a printer in Output Options

This will allow you to look over the list of textbooks that you entered into the transfer document. You can go back into Outbound Transfers and make modifications to the transfer if necessary.

Pull Items to be Shipped

Simply pull the items on the Pick/Pack Slip from the shelf and prepare them to be shipped.

Complete Outbound Transfer

Go back into Outbound Transfers, menu option 1 in the Transfers menu.

  • Enter the receiving store’s number in the To Store field
  • Enter the document number in the Document field
  • Hit “C” to complete the Transfer

This window appears:

Fill in the information as needed.

At this point the inventory will be decremented from the masterfile of the outbound store. Send the pack slip (step 3) with the inventory. When the other store receives the inventory, it must follow the steps for an inbound transfer.

Inbound Transfers

These steps are explained in detail:

Create New Inbound Transfer

Choose menu option 2 from the Transfers menu.

  • Enter Store numbers
  • Enter “.” in the Document field
  • Enter the rest of the fields appropriately

Pull in Transfer Record
After hitting Enter in the Entry Comments you will be asked:


Choose Yes

Now this window will come up:

  • Enter the document number on the packing slip that came with the inventory (created by the outbound transfer)
  • Hit “Y”

The ISBNs will come in automatically.

Enter the quantity you received for each item in the RCVQTY field

Complete the Transfer

You can hit “>” and then hit Enter to advance to the options at the bottom.

  • Hit “C” to complete

The Inbound Transfer is now finished and the inventory is updated.




Matrix Receiving

Matrix Receiving is essentially done the same way as receiving regular items. The Parent or Master SKU is what you will see in the line items of the main receiving screen. If you go to one of these Matrix Master SKUs and hit enter you will encounter an additional screen that is used for matrix members only.

Enter your receiving log as you normally would.

  • When you get to a SKU that is a Parent SKU for a matrix, hit enter.

You will be taken to a new screen that looks like this:

  • Enter unit of measure code in the UOM field, (EA is the default.)
  • Enter the quantity received in the RC QTY field.
  • The vendor list, sell price, and vendor cost will all be posted to the masterfile as they appear on this screen. Verify these to be correct.
  • Save this information by hitting enter.

Now you finish the receiving log as you normally would. If you need to go back into this matrix screen, you must select the Parent SKU again from the first screen and hit enter. You will be taken back into this screen to make any further modifications needed until you post the receiving log.




Unkit

The “unkit” option in the GM (General Merchandise) module was designed to allow you to order items that contain many sub-items in it. An example of this is a display case containing highlighters of several colors.

Setup & Maintenance

Step 1. Setup the UNKIT SKU. This is the SKU that defines the bulk order unit.
Step 2. Assign the SKUs that will be received when he UNKIT SKU is received.

Enter each SKU that will be received/sold.

Field Definitions

Distribution SKU Enter the SKU or use the XREF look up to locate each individual item.

Description This is a display of the item.

Qty to Receive Enter the number of units to be received at time of receiving.

Item Cost Enter the Cost value that will be used when this item is received.

Total Cost This is a display of the total of the extended costs.

QOH This is a display of the current QOH of the SKU

Receiving

When the UNKIT is received each SKU on the list will be updated based on the QRcv and the Cost specified in the UNKIT screen.

If 10 of the UNKIT SKU are received then the QRcv values will be multiplied by 10.

Each Distribution SKU will be updated with the receiving quantity and the costs will also be updated.

Unpost Receiving

If you unpost a receiving then the distribution SKU will be updated appropriately.

Auto Orders

Do not set up auto order/replenishment values for the UNKIT SKU. If you will be selling the UNKIT SKU then you are not using this feature how it was intended.




Preparing For Rush

Preparing for rush can always be a challenge, especially for general merchandise. One of the reports that we have is the Pre-Order Worksheet (GM-01-28) report in GM. This report will look at the sales from a previous date range and show you how many you need to purchase to stock the quantity needed if you meet the same sale figures.

Enter the information; Beginning Date and Ending Date are the sales dates for the comparison. Enter the desired sort sequence. If you wish to limit the report to only certain vendors or for certain classes then enter in the filter criteria information as needed, enter as many vendors and/or classes as desired.

Select “R” to run. Keep in mind that you can run this report as many times as needed with different filter criteria to meet your needs.

The report will show the quantity sold during the dates entered, current quantity on hand, current quantity on order, quantity that you are over compared to the previous sales and the quantity that you need to order to meet the previous sales. Adjust your orders based on what you feel you will sell this term.

Background Processing (Self Hosted)

Overview

Background Processing allows you to run recurring reports as background processes to be run immediately or at scheduled times. This tool can be used to schedule your daily and weekly recurring reports to run after hours.

Background Processing Menu

(POS-UU-3)

1. Job Parameters – Each background process is called a job. Each job has certain parameters consisting of the job name, the times and days to run, etc. You will set all parameters necessary for each job using this menu option.

2. List Jobs – Compiles a list of jobs that are setup to process. You may output this list to printer, terminal or file.

3. List Job History – Compiles a history of jobs that have been processed, giving the dates and times that the job1 started.

21. Background Control – Gives you the ability to stop or start processes. This is where you will start and stop the background processor.

Note – There is a flag that can be set to notify you if the background processor is on. The menu path is System Administration Menu and then option 1) User Maintenance. Set the flag in User Maintenance to ‘Y’ and when you log on, the program will pause for a seconds after you enter your password to display the status.

There are two parts to background processing. The first part is to start the background processor through background control. The second part is to set up and specify the job parameters.

Managing the Background Process (BG-21)

There should be a background process running in each account that has a job to run. You will have to start the processor in each account. This can be set up to start automatically if your system is rebooted.

This screen is where you control jobs.

Start a Job – This will start a new occurrence of BG.PROCESSOR. It can start any job on the list.

Stop a Job – This will stop the job you specify. In GUI mode you must highlight the job to stop. In non-GUI mode you are prompted for the line number to stop.

Refresh List – This will remove all jobs from the JOBS file that have a status other than RUNNING or ABORT. See the following screen.

JOB SETUP

You can setup a background report in one of two ways.

You can create your report through the Report Menu by choosing the report you wish to run then entering the report parameters and selecting <R>=Run Procedure followed by G= Background Processor in the Output Options menu then <S>=Schedule and entering a name for the process. This will then put you in the Job Parameters screen with the fields populated from your report parameters where you can change any parameters as needed.

2. You can create your report manually by going directly to the Backgrounds menu and choosing Job Parameters and entering the information for your report.

JOB PARAMETERS

(POS-BG-1)

Background ID: Enter the id (alpha/numeric without spaces) to identify your background process. For example, if this was my nightly tender report then I might give it the id of TENDER.REPORT.

Account: Enter the account name the background will run in. All files used by the process must exist in the specified account.

Sender Port: This is the port that starts this process. If this process was made and started from another process, this port is automatically entered. The field serves no purpose at this time.

Notify Sender: Set this flag to ‘Y’ if you want to notify the sender every time that the process runs.

Run Status: Your options here are ‘I’ (Immediate), ‘R’ (Repeat), or ‘X’ (Cancel).

I = Run immediately, once the process has ran once, this changes to a status of ‘R’ and repeats according to intervals.

R = Repeat according to the time and day intervals that you set up. daily, weekly, monthly, hourly or any interval type of process.

X = Cancel, and stop running.

Start Date: Enter the date to start this process. (Only valid with status ‘R’)

Start Time: Enter the start time for the process to start. (Only valid with status ‘R’)

Day Intervals: Enter the interval as ‘1’ for daily, ‘7’ for weekly, etc. If run status is ‘I’, and you only want this process to run once then leave this interval blank.

Exclude Days: Enter any days that you do not want this process to run. For example, if this were a daily sales report, and the store is not open on Sundays, then you would enter ‘SUN’ to exclude the report from running on Sundays. Enter each day one at a time.

Time Interval: Enter the time interval 24:00:00 for once a day, 1:00:00 for hourly, etc…

Exclude Times: Enter the time that you do not want this process to run. This works similar to excluding days. If you run this process hourly, then you may want to exclude the hours that you are closed.

Group Code: Some processes require running a program then reporting on the outcome. For example a batch closing, you close the batches and then run the batch detail or summary reports. Here you can enter some unique code that will group the batch closing process together with the batch summary reports.

Sequence in Group: If you have entered a group code, then you will want to designate which process will run first, second, etc. (i.e. Batch closing would be sequence of ‘1’, report would be ‘2’, etc.)

Process Type: Enter P for Proc or T for TCL.

P = Proc (usually from the reports menu)

T = TCL. A cataloged program or anything else you can run from TCL with standard Pick INPUT statements. This uses a Pick DATA statement.

TD = TCL. Same as T except the inputs would come from a standard TCS input. (This populates DATA.LIST and is processing by CHAR.INPUT.)

I = ISD processsor (entry screen). Requires release 5.3 or Patch 1237.

Process ID: Enter the process id for the process you are going to run. If this is a report, enter the report id. If this is a program, enter the program name.

Output Tag: Enter here where you want the output to go. The valid options are:

T= Terminal, ‘T132’ for 132 column output to the terminal (this is like entering ‘TW’ in the reports)

P,a,b,c,d,e,f,g = Printer

a – printer number

b – L=landscape, P=Portrait

c – number of copies

d – D=Direct, H=Hold (suspend printing)

e – lines per inch (6 or 8)

f – characters per inch

g – lines per page

It is easy to set the values for a-g; simply enter P in the field and the printer assignment box will pop up, enter the values you want and they will automatically populate this field.

Inputs: Enter any parameters here that you would as if you were running the process from a menu. This means you must know the order of the parameters.

Acceptable values include:

“” = blank

DATE-n or DATE+n = Today –n days, or today +n days.

Other data is accepted as entered. I.E. “[sam]”, 05.22.03, 001, etc.




AR History

This document describes the history process for:

  1. Removing old invoices and payments from the active lookup and placing them into an index for each year.
  2. Purging old invoices and payments from the system to never be accessed again.
  3. Looking up inactive invoices and payments.

Setup

Prior to running the history process you should enter your history preferences in the General Parameters screen found in AR-SU-03 (General Parameters).

There are two fields.

  1. Months to keep on-line. This is to designate how many months of data will be in the active index. This should probably be about a year although it can be as small as 1 month.
  2. Months in history files. This is the maximum number of months to keep the invoices and payments on your system. Anything older than this is purged and no longer available. This could be for as many years as necessary, perhaps somewhere between 3 and 5 years depending on your needs.

There are 12 months in a year. So for 5 years enter 60 for the value.

The Process

(Main Menu # 6)

When you want to move invoices & payments to the annual indexes then choose this menu option. Also, when you want to purge invoices and payments completely from your system this is where you do it. You can run this option as often as desired.

After you make your selections you will see the following screen.Range of Process and Purge

The range is based on the data you entered in the General Parameters setup screen.As the process runs and is completed you will see the follow screen.

Accessing the History Data

Customer Inquiry (Main Menu #2 and CI), select IH for Invoice History.

You will then be prompted for the year to search.

If there are any invoices in the year you selected they will appear at the bottom of the screen.

You can then access the invoice by choosing clicking on the line number or entering it in the entry box.

Accessing Payment History

From the main inquiry screen choose “P” for payments then choose “PH” for payment history. You will be prompted for the year to use after which the Payment history screen will appear.


You may choose a payment line number to look at the payment detail.




Export AR Charges

This document describes how to use the specialized report for special formatting of invoice data to be “normalized” and exported into an Excel spreadsheet.

Step 1. Select AR-RP-02-08

Step 2. Enter the reporting criteria you want for the report.

Step 3. Click on the save Icon and save the report.

  1. Save the report in any folder you wish.
  2. Give it name that will be meaningful.
  3. Save it as a Text File


Step 4. Click “Save”
Step 5. Open the item with Excel.
The import Wizard will come up automatically.
Make the following adjustments


Click “Next”

Click “Next”

Highlight the column over the SSN/Contract and flag it as “Text”

Click “Finish”

With a little Excel magic you can now create sub totals and sort the report anyway that you like.




Month-End Closing

Prerequisite to End of Month Closing: all of the necessary G/L account codes must be setup in the following modules:

Point-of-Sale
Accounts Payable
Accounts Receivable
General Ledger

There is no requirement to close the modules in any particular order, other than G/L needs to be last.

The steps within a module should all be completed in the sequence listed.

General Merchandise

End of Period Processing

This process sets the week-to-date, month-to-date, and year-to-date sales quantity values in GM. This should be performed at the end of the day on the last day of business, or before the first day of business for each week, month, and year. (GM-23)

OR

You can run the utility to rebuild the numbers whenever you wish. (GM-SU-01-06)

Point of Sale

Use menu path POS-23-29 (POS, End of Day Functions, General Ledger Interface)

Create G/L Distribution

This process resolves the sales transactions with all of the associated G/L codes and creates a file for reporting and posting. (a)

    1. Enter the sales date for the first date to be included.
    2. Enter the sales date for the last date to be included.
    3. If you want to include the Over/Short results from your daily register reconciliation then enter a “Y”, otherwise enter “N”. (b)
    4. If you enter “Y” for repost then the process will ignore any prior posting of data for the date range you’ve entered. Entering “N” will cause this process to skip sales records that were posted previously.
    5. Run the procedure.

If this process encounters any errors they will be displayed on the screen. You will need to correct the cause of the error before an accurate Journal Entry can be created.

Notes: ———————————————————————————————————————

  1. All G/L codes should have been set up during and after initial training.
  2. Register Reconciliation is done at menu path POS-23-02 (POS, End of Day Functions, Register reconciliations.)

Print G/L Distribution

This report uses the data created by step 1, above.

    1. Enter a store number. If you only have one store then leave this field blank.
    2. Enter a register number. This field is almost always left blank.
    3. Enter a beginning date for the report. This date will appear on the report header. It should also fall within the range of the dates that you entered in step 1, above.
    4. Enter an ending date for the report. This date will also appear on the report header and should also be within the range of dates that you entered in step 1, above.
    5. Summary, Detail, or Errors.
      1. Enter “S” to get a summary report. This will show one line for each G/L account. Any errors are easy to find because there will not be G/L account description.
      2. If you enter “E” for errors then the 1st 10 errors will be on the screen. Fix those then run the report with the “E” option again until there are no errors.
      3. If you enter “D” for report details you get a report that is hard to read unless you are familiar with the data. Usually this is run by TCS personnel for advanced trouble shooting.
    6. Enter a G/L account number to limit the output for specific accounts. This only works in the “D” mode.
    7. Run the procedure. Select your printing or email destination.

Create G/L Journal Entry

This process will use the data created in step 1, above.

  1. Enter a store number. If you only have one store then leave this field blank.
  2. Enter a register number. This field is almost always left blank.
  3. Enter a beginning date for the report. This date will appear in the Journal Entry Comments field. It should also fall within the range of the dates that you entered in step 1, above.
  4. Enter an ending date for the report. This date will also appear in the Journal Entry Comments field and should also be within the range of dates that you entered in step 1, above.
  5. Enter the Accounting Period that this Journal Entry will apply to.
  6. Run the procedure.

This will create a Journal Entry in the format of POS*nnnn, where nnnn is a unique sequential number. This will need to be posted in the G/L module. (GL-01-01)

Accounts Payable

The first step is to find any transactions that were posted to A/P from receiving and returns (in Text, Trade, and GM) that are missing valid A/P vendor numbers.

This is done by running report AP-RP-02-01 (Unpaid Transactions by Vendor). Leave all fields empty except for Vendor Number. Use Vendor Number 99999, this is the “suspense” vendor. If the report has any lines on it then you will see in the last column which inventory vendor needs to have an A/P vendor assigned to it. You can also see this and more detail if you look up the transaction (AP-01). If there are any corrections to be made then:

  1. Assign them the correct A/P vendor code. (AP-04, Change Vendor or Invoice). (a)
  2. Correct the Inventory vendor record. (VM in Text, Trade, or GM.) (a)

Use menu path AP-03. (A/P, End of Month)

Pre-posting Report

Use this report to review if G/L account numbers, amounts, and vendors appear to be correct. (Ex. You probably do not want the G/L account number for cost of goods sold being assigned to a vendor that only sells you cleaning supplies.) Invoices with a status of “U” (unreconciled) will not appear on this report. Only the status codes of “O” (open for payment) and “H” (hold for payment) will be included. See note (a).

  1. Enter an invoice cutoff date. All transactions older than, and including, this date that have not been journalized will be on the report.
  2. Select a report type. This report has three format options depending on your level of need.
  3. S = Summary. This will create a report that summarizes all of the amounts for each G/L number into one amount. This creates a shorter concise report.
  4. D = Detail. This will create a report that has the G/L account number for each transaction. This report is very long but does show all of the account detail.
  5. E = Errors. This will create a report of transactions that have invalidG/L account numbers on them.
  6. Run the procedure. Select your printing or email destination.
  7. Make any invoice corrections if necessary.

Post Transactions

Invoices with a status of “U” (unreconciled) will not be journalized. Only the status codes of “O” (open for payment) and “H” (hold for payment) can be journalized.

  1. Enter an Invoice cutoff date. You should use the same date you used in the Pre-posting Report.
  2. Enter the accounting period that the transactions will be posted to.
  3. Run the procedure.

This will create a Journal Entry in the format of AP*nnnn, where nnnn is a unique sequential number. This will need to be posted in the G/L module. (GL-01-01)

Once a transaction has been journalized you cannot change the G/L distribution on the transaction and you cannot change the transaction amount.

If you completely mess up you can choose number 6 to remove the posting flag from all transactions for a specific Journal Entry number. Be sure to delete or void the original Journal Entry so you don’t have a double posting. This is done in GL-01-01 using a Journal Type of “V”.

Notes: ———————————————————————————————————————

  1. In order for you to stay on top of your adjustments you can run these reports daily if desired. To see your “U”nreconciled and “H”old invoices run report AP-RP-02-01; it is sorted by status so that each status code is grouped together.

Accounts Receivable

This process copies miscellaneous cash receipts from the A/R module to the G/L module. They are then posted in the G/L module. Generally, most users enter their cash receipts at the cash register and this step is not necessary.

Use menu path AR-03-24 (A/R, Invoices & Payments, Post Payments to G/L).

  1. Enter a valid store number.
  2. Enter a cutoff date. All miscellaneous payments that have not been copied to the G/L cash receipts file that are older than or equal to this date will be copied.
  3. Enter a valid bank code. If you have multiple bank codes then run this process once for each bank code.

General Ledger

This module is the last one to process and is only done after completing all of the above steps. If your system is not configured for a specific module you can skip that section.

Use menu path GL-22 (General Ledger, End of Period) for steps 1-4.

Post Cash Disbursements (checks)

  1. Run this process for all of your Bank Types.
  2. Enter a check date to start with.
  3. Enter a check date to end with.
  4. Enter the accounting period that pertains to the date range in b and c.
  5. Select Summary
  6. Run the process.

Post Miscellaneous Receipts

    1. Run this process for all of your Bank Types.
    2. Enter a beginning receipt date.
    3. Enter an ending receipt date.
    4. Enter the accounting period that pertains to the date range in b and c.
    5. Select Summary
    6. Run the process

Bank Reconciliation

If you are using the bank reconciliation option then complete this task and then post the journal entry that you create.

21. Close a Month (1-11)

Select this option now to close any or all prior months to bring their YTD, QTD account balances forward into the current month. (This could have been the 1st step in G/L. It is not critical when you run this as long as it is before you begin running reports or doing AI (account inquiry).) Many users do this step multiple times – beginning of the period, end of the period.

    1. In the Month to Close field you can enter either a specific month to close or for ease of use enter an “*” to close all months. The “*” option is preferred in case you have posted any entries to a prior period/month.
    2. Enter the 4-digit year that you are working with.
    3. Run the process.

Journal Entry Creation, Correction, and Posting.

After you have created journal entry records with several of the above process it is now time to review them for reasonableness, make any necessary corrections, and then post the entry.

Posting the entries updates the YTD, QTD, and MTD account balances.

Use menu option GL-01.

21. List Unposted JEs

This will give you a complete list of journals that have not been posted.

Journal Entries

    1. Review each entry, make any necessary corrections, enter “P” to post.

Batch Post Open Journals

    1. This allows you to skip the tedium of processing #1 multiple times and posting all open journals at once.

Year-End Closing

Prior to closing the year you will need to close your last month – month 11 following the Month-End Closing guide.

G/L Account Numbers are broken into two general categories – real and nominal. Real accounts are assets, liabilities, and equity. Nominal accounts are income and expenses.

When the year is closed the ending balance of real accounts are closed to their each real account, i.e. cash closes to cash, payables close to payables, etc. Nominal accounts close to a single common equity account, something like retained earnings (equity).

The Year-End Closing is very simple but it is important to first ensure that all of your income and expense G/L Account Numbers are set to close to the correct equity account number. This is done by running the Account Master report with all columns (GL-RP-01). Print this report if possible and go down account by account and very that the Closing Account is correct. If you need to make any adjustments do this in Account Master (GL-02).

Make certain that any Journal Entries for your 12th month are posted. (GL-01-21).

Print your Income statement and Balance sheet to make sure that they are correct. Make any necessary corrections with Journal Entries (GL-01-01), be sure to post them.

When you are satisfied that the year is ready to close then select menu option GL-22-22. Use month 12.

Do Account Inquiry (AI) and have a look at your closing account for the new year, period 1 and make sure that it looks correct.
