Ship-To-Store Purchases

The Ship-To-Store software maintains all purchase individually. The purchases are kept in the purchase file until they are costed and received. By doing this the software can update the quantity on order when the purchase is made and the quantity on hand when the purchase is received.

The second is when the client carries standard inventory. This standard inventory is subtracted from the purchase ticket totals. This allows the client to sale a fishermen some fuel or bait an have them taken off the purchase ticket.

This procedure will add quantities to the inventory and the other will subtract quantities.

When a seafood purchase invoice is entered for a fishermen or fishing vessel the quantity on hand in the inventory file is increased, because the product is already received and nothing else has to be done to receive the inventory. When a seafood purchase invoice is entered for a seafood market the quantity on order is increased and the quantities must be received.

Since the software will hold the invoices in the purchase file until the costs and received quantities have been entered the software will allow the costing of invoices when that information becomes available. For example, three days after a boat landings is made the costs for the inventory is determined, then the software will allow the client to enter these costs. To view the costing procedure click on the Software Demo folder at this web site, then click viewing software, then click "A" Daily Operations, and then click "E" Costing Purchases.

The software can print receiving tickets for the inventory department to be aware of incoming inventory from seafood markets. This tickets will be printed, when the client turns the option on in the control file, at the time a purchase is entered for a seafood market. Quantities expected and quantities received is not always the same and this will give management information for decision when expected inventory is way short or grossly over when deciding when cost adjustment must be made.

All purchase quantities are reflected in the inventory files, the vendor file, and accounts payable files.
