Distribution Software and Solutions

Distribution is a solution that resides on the customers site and handles the inventory that you purchase / make and, through orders, pass that product to the client (either wholesale or retail) then invoices them for the products and processes all payments and credits required. see the 4 modules that make up the distribution solution below.

Purchasing	This module allows a user to issue Purchase Orders for products and materials that will be used in distribution. This could include materials used in production, items to be entered into Inventory or any other item that a business wants to track. The system has an optional requisition function and can process for one or more buyers. There are lookups to search orders by vendor, item, and by quotes. A history of all activity is stored and it has interfaces to Inventory, Accounts Payable and the General Ledger.
Order Processing	This module allows the entry and processing of orders for products to be distributed to customers. The modules interfaces with Inventory to bring in the item, description, costs, pricing, etc. It also, interfaces with Invoicing and Receivables to bring in customer information including billing and shipping addresses. The module produces picks and shipping documents. When updated data flows back to Inventory and to Invoicing and Receivables. As many clients have many differing ordering and shipping needs we produce custom screens and reports to satisfy their specific requirements.
Inventory Control	This module is used to build and process all activity associated with raw materials, sub assemblies, finished goods and supplies that are stored by the business. The system allows more then 10 sub identification fields per item which can each have an unlimited number of id's to help sort, and report data. Some reports include activity, availability, valuation, history, reorder guide, physical count, etc. Inventory is used by other modules such as Purchasing, Production, Invoicing and Receivables, and Order Processing. Interfaces to Accounts Payable and the General Ledger, for processing dollar totals, are also available.
Invoicing and Receiveables	This module is used to produce invoices and to process payments and credits associated with those invoices. As it is integrated with Order Processing, the shipping of product will cause automatic postings to this module. The operator not required to do anything further here other then to print the invoices as Order Processing supplies all of the data. The modules can process non Inventory invoices for services such as labor, setup fees, etc., which may not have been processed through Order Processing. All sales are recorded for sales analysis reporting. If salesmen are involved, it can accumulate and report commissions and sales by salesman. Dollars will flow into the Accounting System.
