From Innovacommerce POS we can make an efficient reception of goods. Goods receipts in Innovacommerce are considered orders or warehouse movements, therefore, the management of “goods movements” is used, which is actually valid for the receipt, issue or transfer between stores/stores. In this chapter we will only focus on the “receipt of goods”, but it was good to know that the management is valid for more uses.
To make a stock entry, we will use the button “receive merchandise” found in the “options” of the POS.
This will open the window for orders or proposals for massive movements of goods.
To make a new entry, click on “new order”.
In the window of data introduction we have several sections that we detail next:
- Operation reference: Indicates a descriptive name for the operation ,it can be the order number or the receipt/departure/transfer slip number.
- Date of the operation: On which date the proposal is created.
Operation type area
With these checks we will indicate what we want to do. If we mark only the upper one, we understand that we are making a goods issue, for whatever reason (loss, return, etc), if we mark the lower one, we understand that we are making a goods receipt, and if we mark both, the program understands that it is making a transfer between stores and/or warehouses. Whatever our decision is, we will need to specify which store and warehouse (if we use warehouses and advanced stock) is going to be affected by the operation. As we are seeing the “receptions” If you have a store, check only the box below and select the store (and if necessary a warehouse) to carry out the goods receipt.
The list of products
The list of products to be entered can be loaded by various means:
- Using the bar code box and with scanner: If you have a barcode scanner, you can use the top box to enter a unit of the product by default (the definitive units are then entered manually in the “units” column of the list.
- Using the product search: With the button “add products” you will open the search engine and you can add with multiselection the desired products to the list.
- From a CSV file with a fixed structure: You can make a CSV file (with excel) containing 3 columns in the following order, to process a vast list:
- Product reference or barcode
- Units entering (or leaving or being transferred)
- Product barcode (optional)
- Loading from a sales order: By order ID, if you specify an order ID the products of the order will be loaded in the list, with their units, this is used for companies that use “dropshipping” or that fill stock depending on sales orders.
In the grid it shows us the columns of stock at origin (if we are going to make a goods issue), at destination (if we are going to make an entry) or both columns if what we are going to do is a transfer between stores/warehouses.
The check “execute now”
You can make transfer proposals that do not have to be executed at that time, this is valid for making an order by sections, the orders that are not processed appear in the list with an X in red, the orders in that state have not yet changed the stock of the store, are pending “execution”. When you really want to do the in/out/transfer operation simply select “execute now” and then click on “save”.
An order that has already been executed cannot be executed again, it can only be consulted and seen, in the case of products with advanced stock, what movements of goods have taken place in the affected warehouses. In stores without advanced stock, the button “see movements” will not show information.
