This will take you directly to the Customer Pricing screen. You can enter or lookup the customer number, then it will automatically bring over the part number from stock status and display your customer specific price. This feature is a time saver when your customer asks first if you have a part, then they want to know how much. This will allow your sales staff to quickly get to Customer Pricing, and that customer's price, without having to back out of stock status and enter CPR and it keeps them quoting off of the stock status screen.

Store Suggested Tips l M-8. 9. 15 Inventory By Vendor – Here's the scenario: You need to purchase a part from a vendor that only cost $25 but the vendor has a $100 minimum. You need to add something to the PO that sells in your store but you can't remember any of the part numbers. Enter warehouse and vendor number to show you all the part numbers for that vendor along with sales ytd plus qty on hand rop etc. . A fast, easy method to find parts to fill in the gap(s). If you want the printed version just do 8. 9. 14 l M-11. 10 List of Items Sold by Customer – Great report for printing out how much a customer purchases from a vendor.

Paperless EOD/EOM Why use it? l How to use it. l – List the reports – Program the reports – Turn control over to paperless

Why you should use Paperless EOD Because… l …it will help save a lot of trees. l …it will save money $$$. l … report storage is more efficient, cost effective and retrieval is easy. l …it is a really, really good thing.

What it does for you! Reduce costs associated with EOD l Eliminate wasted resources (paper, printer, ink, etc) associated with EOD l Increased Store Level control of reports l Enable Electronic report storage l – Virtually indefinite retrieval potential of lost reports

All you have to do… l 4 Simple Steps 1. Review Standard EOD Reports. l Email custom EOD report titles to DST to include in your EOD XREF. 2. Maintain EOD XREF Listing. 3. Confirm things are printing and emailing correctly. 4. Suppress traditional printing.
