Purchasing

he Glass Inventory Control Package is designed to operate in conjunction with the Order Processing/Invoicing and Purchasing Packages.  It provides for multiple warehouse locations and can function in a multi-company environment.  All inventory items can be easily accessed by keying in a partial description of the item, the item number or a user defined keyword for the item.  Item pricing may be by quantity break, product class or a pre-negotiated Customer Contract price.

Main Package Features:

  • Items may be accessed by keying in either the item number, a partial description of the item) or a user  defined ‘keyword’.  In those cases where multiple items may share the same partial description or keyword, a qualifier may also be keyed in for a more specific selection.  For example, keying in ‘BOLT’ will cause all bolts to display, whereas keying in ‘BOLT, BRASS’ will cause only brass bolts to display.
  • Each item may be priced by quantity break, product class or a pre-negotiated Customer Contract price.
  • Items may be stocked in one unit of measure and priced in another (i.e. stocked by the ‘foot’ and priced by the ‘hundred feet’).
