- ENTERING SALES DATA
- There are two ways in which sales transactions may be entered:
-
- A. ENTERING SALES FROM A PHYSICAL INVENTORY in Control Number
- sequence. When the Sales Transaction Screen is first displayed, press
- F10 to retrieve the first Control Number or enter any Control Number.
-
-
- Units sold are calculated by entering the current quantity On Hand
- from a physical inventory list that is printed in your "Control
- Number" sequence. This amount is subtracted from the Previous Supply
- On Hand giving the units sold. The next data item in control number
- sequence will be displayed after you press the <ENTER> key.
-
- If the physical inventory method is used, it is CRITICAL that the
- proper timing sequence of RECEIVING orders has been followed or your
- sales figures could become distorted. If you have more stock on hand
- now than your "Previous On Hand" quantity shows, then either you have
- stock on order that should have been RECEIVED beforehand or there have
- been errors made during a physical count.
-
- Should inventory counting errors show that you have more On Hand now
- than the "Previous On Hand", the current period units sold will be
- listed with a negative value. Then, when sales are posted to the
- master data file the negative amount will be subtracted from the
- current and Y-T-D units sold fields, reversing any previous sales data
- posted erroneously. Negative sales will not be posted.
-
- NOTE: Blank fields ______ are not posted as a zero. Blank fields are
- skipped. You must key in a zero to show no inventory on hand _____0 .
- B. ENTERING SALES FROM SALES RECEIPTS OR SALES JOURNALS

-
- You may retrieve data using either the item's Control Number or Stock
- Number.

-
- Press F10 to retrieve the first Control Number. Enter the actual units
- sold and press enter. Then, the data for the next sequential Control
- Number will be displayed. Press F1 to retrieve data for a new Control
- Number at random.
-
-
- ACCESSING DATA USING THE ITEMS STOCK NUMBER
- Press F4 to switch to the Stock Number Field. Enter the Stock Number
- and press <ENTER>. Next, enter units sold then press <ENTER>. The
- cursor will return to the stock number field and wait for you to enter
- the next stock number.
-
- It is possible to switch back and forth between Stock and Control
- Numbers using the F1 and F4 keys.
-
- Entering sales amounts that are larger than what is actually On Hand
- is allowed. However, the master file will post the sales and reset the
- On Hand to zero. Negative amounts On Hand will not be posted.
-
-
- After you have completed your sales transactions, a work file is
- created which must be posted to the Master Data File. Corrections to
- the work file may be made prior to posting the sales.
-
- NOTE: Inventory Counting Forms--The Retailer will generate a printout
- that may be used for taking a physical inventory of your stock. If an
- item for the store printed has no data in the numeric fields: On Hand
- thru YTD Sales, then the item will not print on the counting form.
- This avoids printing out data for stock that you might not carry in
- all locations.
- Print the report in Control Number sequence to take an inventory.
- Print the report in Stock Number sequence for receiving and pricing.
