Purchase Orders, Receiving and Ticketing

Automated Orders and Receiving

Over and under-buying is the most common costly mistake in retail, yet is one of the easiest to reduce using effective computerization. Retail Pro's streamlined purchase order functions increase control over the many products carried by even a small retail operation. Creating purchase orders is both quick and easy. A one step process adds new merchandise descriptions into the inventory, includes it on the PO, incorporates it into On Order quantities with expected ship dates, and, if desired, prints high quality price tags.

Over- and under- shipments and vendor substitutions can be smoothly handled.

As merchandise is received, Retail Pro generates a voucher that clearly displays all the information needed to verify the shipment against the P.O. and packing slip. Returns to Vendor can be generated on the spot or later. Receiving without a PO is also facilitated, as merchandise can be entered on the fly or instantly called up. Merchandise in the system whose UPC codes have been scanned in, can be received by direct scanning of the UPC’s directly into the receiving document.

This one-step receiving process updates inventory by units, cost and retail, and implements authorized price adjustments. It produces designed or standard price tags for the quantities of goods received. Receiving vouchers can update accounts payable. Retail Pro supports drop shipments to multiple stores by providing receiving capability at any remote site, where earlier P.O.s will have been distributed by the system.

The Case to Unit Conversion feature helps retailers who buy by the case and sell by the unit. A PO can be entered by the case and will be converted by the system into units of inventory.
