Distribution & Wholesale

Sales orders and invoices can raise back orders which appear automatically in the Back Order Control Centre, a repository for managing the back order process in CAPITAL Business Manager. Here acknowledgements, picking lists, invoices, transfers, delivery dockets, purchase orders, consignment notes, shipping labels and other documents are produced. Orders can be held indefinitely, forward dated, allocated stock only on condition that the entire order can be shipped, selectively converted into invoices, and invoices can be viewed and edited before printing or emailing. Multiple sales orders can be consolidated onto a single invoice. Floor stock can be reserved to ensure that showroom merchandise isn't sold.

Back Order Control Centre

The sales order processing system is integrated with the Back Order Control Centre, so operators are advised if pending orders in the system are duplicated. Unfilled orders can be inspected, deleted or transferred into a new order during order entry. Customers who do not accept back orders can be reminded to re-order those items they did not previously receive.

Warehousing

CAPITAL's Back Order Control Centre also integrates with CAPITAL Warehouse Manager, an advanced order receiving and dispatch system for volume warehousing. At a glance operators can determine which back ordered items have been picked by warehouse staff using PC's, caddy based or mobile data collectors and barcode scanners.

Order Templates

Order templates allow you to associate selected items with a customer's account. Templates can automatically or optionally be loaded when a new sales order is raised for a customer. This can save time searching for and entering product codes for regular or common purchases. Templates are easy to maintain and multiple items can be added or removed from a template with the press of a few keys.

Power Search

Powerful search functionality allows operators to locate product items by product code, description, barcodes, the customer's code, the supplier’s code, key words, groups and user definable criteria. Description keyword searching is fast regardless of the size of the product list and items can be located by matching one or more words in any part of the first 40 characters of the product description.

Shipping

Sales orders can be assigned automatically to delivery zones, based on the customer's delivery address or other characteristics of the sales order or product items being ordered. Once a delivery zone has been assigned to a series of items, a carrier can automatically be allocated, based on the zone. Carrier and delivery zone assignments can be edited an unlimited number of times before goods are included on delivery runs.

Pricing

Check customer prices (including special pricing) for items on back order, as well as expected availability. Customer Price Check will list all undelivered purchase orders pending, all customer back orders that remain unfilled, and if possible, determine whether an item can reasonably be expected to be filled ex stock, or if not, when that sales order is likely to be filled, based on expected delivery dates and lead times, if that information is available.

Hightlights at a Glance

In conjunction with CAPITAL's Electronic Data Exchange component, sales order acknowledgements can be emailed/faxed or printed automatically to your customers, as soon as they are entered. Once sales orders are picked and ready to be shipped, notification of the sale order's status can be automatically sent. SMS notification is supported.
