Direct Store Delivery Receiving Overview:

Cost verification and item authorization is determined directly from the central AS/400 database. ItemsUPC Symbol can be entered via UPC, vendor item code, or by item lookup. The item lookup feature allows the operator to scroll through the vendors items by UPC or item code, keying quantities received for appropriate items.

Scanner After a vendors items have been received, an invoice is printed, and the invoice line items can be recapped for accounts payable distribution. The on-line receiving program can be used at the back door of each location to enter items as they are received. It can also be used to verify invoices at the main office. Historical costs are kept on the database and may be used to determine an item's cost. This feature allows invoices to be verified at any point in time.
