Inventory Expert
This outstanding package allows users of the Inventory module to answer any question about any item from one central screen. Questions like:
And so much more. In addition to accessing all of the data stored by Inventory, you also have access to the sales history stored by the A/R module and the on order items stored by the PO module. Pictures of your items can also by displayed. Your staff can quickly find out anything they want to know about an item while your customers can use it as an on-line catalog to search for just what they want--security features allow you to define exactly which data can and cannot be accessed. The program can be run as a TSR or be loaded directly from within the Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System via the GoTo function or from the DOS prompt. Features & BenefitsAccessible From Within The Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System: By using the GoTo window, the Inventory Expert program can easily be accessed. When done, you are returned to the accounting software. When using the TSR mode, Inventory Expert immediately goes to the item currently being accessed within the Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System. This works similar to the look-ups within the product. Access Any Information About An Item From One
Screen: All of
the following information can be accessed directly from the main look-up
window of Inventory Expert: Allocations Sales History
Inventory Audit
Display Pictures Of Your Items:You can attach a graphic file, in GIF format, to any Inventory item and Inventory Expert can display it for you. Use this to display any image you’d like associated with an item: scanned pictures, schematics or CAD drawings are examples of some of the images our customers display with this feature. Roundtable Software offers photographic, scanning and image conversion services to assist you in developing your graphic file database. TSR Mode: Have you ever had a customer request information on an item while you were entering an invoice? With the TSR mode of Inventory Expert, you can view item detail without interrupting your work. It even knows what item you are working with and takes you to it automatically. When done, you can have the selected item returned to the program you were in or you can simply go back without the item number. Built-In Security: You have two
levels of security available in Inventory Expert. You can limit access to
specific functions and also suppress the display of costs and sales totals.
Authorized users can gain unlimited access simply by entering the manager
password. With security, Inventory Expert can provide an “on-line catalog”
for your customers while preserving complete access for in-house personnel.
FunctionalityThe Inventory Expert package allows you to view all detail for an item from one central program. Through the use of Alt-key combinations and subsidiary screens, you can access the following detail: Allocations Discounts General
Information References In addition, Inventory Expert allows you to view Notes for an item. You can also attach a picture to an item (in GIF file format) to allow users to view a picture or drawing of the item. Within Inventory Expert, you can view and retrieve items by Item Number, Group Number, or Description without leaving the main screen. The lookup window of Inventory Expert always displays the Item Number, Group Number, and Description fields and, through the setup program, allows you to select which field from the following to display as the fourth field: Selling Price Current Cost Location Quantity on Hand Quantity Available You can suppress the display of costs and sales totals as well as limit access to each function individually. Security is provided through a Manager password and the ability to restrict access to specific functions. Authorized users can enter the Manager’s password to gain access to all functions. Once the correct password is entered, that user has unrestricted access to all functions until they quit out of the program. Inventory Expert provides a Statistics screen which calculates statistical data for each item, such as YTD Average Selling Price, Projected Total Sales, Projected Remaining Sales, Weighted Projected Sales, YTD Profit, Projected Total Profit and many more. The Projected figures are based on the figures in the Item Master; the Weighted Projected figures are based on the Historical Quantity Sold. Both sets of figures are intended to give you a picture of an item’s future sales based on past performance. Inventory Expert can be accessed directly from within the Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System through the GoTo window, or it can be loaded as a TSR program before going into the accounting software. Due to memory constraints, you cannot view a graphic file when Inventory Expert is loaded as a TSR. The best way to determine just how valuable Inventory Expert can be to your
business is to download a demo and try it out!
How do I change the fourth column on the lookup screen? The right-most column on the main lookup screen can display Selling Price, Current Cost, Location, Quantity on Hand or the Quantity Available for any item. This is defined by the user through the IESETUP program. Refer to the manual for details on using the IESETUP program. Can I add more fields to the main lookup window? Not to the package as it ships. However, Roundtable Software can customize Inventory Expert to display whatever fields you’d like. Contact us for further information. What is TSR mode? TSR stands for Terminate and Stay Resident and refers to a program’s ability to stop execution but remain in memory. This allows it to be accessed from within another program. In order to do this, a small “stub” is loaded into memory that is activated whenever a specific key combination is pressed. DOS then suspends the current program and loads the TSR program. How much memory does the TSR take? In order to run Inventory Expert in TSR mode, you must have at least 550K base memory free before Advantage is loaded. That is, the TSR stub takes an additional 10K above what the Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System requires. To be sure the TSR can be loaded, download a demo and try it out. The demo’s TSR mode functions exactly the same as the regular program. When a new version of the Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System is released, how is Inventory Expert impacted? For normal, minor releases, there is generally no need to change the Inventory Expert software. For major releases, Roundtable charges a nominal upgrade fee. PURCHASE PRICE: $295.00 |
