Invoices in the Ship-To-Store software are tailored to the individual client. We take the clients invoice and then tell the software where to print the sales information. STS does have a standard invoice for companies that do not have preprinted invoices. The software will allow the client to state the starting invoice number and then the software will control the invoice number from then on. This is one of four programs that are tailored to the client.

When a seafood sales invoice is entered the quantity to sell for each item is decreased by the quantity sold. The quantity on hand for each item is not decreased until the invoice is shipped. By waiting until the invoice is shipped the accrual quantity is known and an mistaken invoice will not be printed. When the order is shipped the information about the shipment is entered and when one or more prices are not available the software will print a packing list to go with the shipment, and when all the prices are available the software will print an invoice to go with the shipment. To view the shipping procedure click on the Software Demo folder at this web site, then click viewing software, then click "A" Daily Operations, and then click "B" Shipping Orders.

Since the software will hold the invoices in the sales file until the prices and shipped quantities have been entered the software will allow the pricing of invoices when that information becomes available. For example, three days after a consignment sale is made the prices for the inventory is agreed upon, then the software will allow the client to enter these prices. To view the pricing procedure click on the Software Demo folder at this web site, then click viewing software, then click "A" Daily Operations, and then click "C" Pricing Sales.

The software will print invoices in several locations and it will reprint invoices when the need arises depending on where the sale is located. The sales starts in the sales file and when all the shipped quantities and prices are available the software will move the sales to accounts receivable. The software will automatically print a CASH sale from the Seafood Sales recap screen. The invoice or packing list can be printed from the Shipping Orders Screen. The invoice can be printed from the Inquire Sales/Credit screen in accounts receivable.
