Introduction

The last screen to be discussed is the Setup screen, it is in this screen that all the configuration changes to the way the system is displayed etc are made.

The Setup Screen

Setting up Sellout Prices

The system allows you to set up sellout prices to automatically apply a mark up to the cost of the item ordered for you to quote the end customer; you are able to create multiple sellout price lists to reflect the different pricing structures you may offer your customers.

To configure this first click on Add to the right hand side of Price List, the following screen will be displayed

Screen displayes fields Price List-Name, Vat%, Addons and Priority

In here you will need to enter the values to define the VAT rate and the cost of your addons e.g. Casing Disposal, Wheel Balance etc. These values will only be applied to your Sellout Price if the necessary options have been selected on the Find screen; please see Using the Find Screen for more details.

You are also able to add a Priority to the price list. You may wish to add a priority to your price list in case one of your stock items matches the requirements of more than one of your Price Group; you are able to select priority given to the Price Group that uses Percentage or Currency as its markup value. If no priority is given the final Sellout Cost of the item will be calculated from the last Price Group in which the item is found.

Final Rounded Price allows you to round the final sellout cost of the item Up or Down, or too the nearest specified amount for example 99p.

When the correct values have been entered click on Add to save these settings

Next you will need to click on Add to the right hand side of Sellout Group as shown in the screen shot above.

Then enter the required values in here to specify which Manufacturers, Product Categories, Sub-Categories and Markup type that you would like your mark up to apply to.

Order Mode

This determines which type of Order Mode you wish to use, this is down to user preference and defaults requested by the Wholesaler.

Standard
This is the original order process used by The Virtual Warehouse, where by items are individually added to the Pending screen and one order is generated to include all of the selected stock. Details of how to use Standard ordering can be found at Ordering Stock Items: Different Ordering Methods - Standard
Quick
So long as a quantity has been entered into the relevent box on the Find page each order item will be ordered separately, therefore the Pending page is by passed. More information about using Quick ordering can be found at Ordering Stock Items: Different Ordering Methods - Quick Order
 
Multiline
Similar to the Standard ordering method in that multiple stock items can be sent on the same order; however this system uses a Cart to hold the items until they are ordered and the quantities required are entered on against the stock line before it is added to the Cart. Full details of using Multiline ordering can be found at Ordering Stock Items: Different Ordering Methods - Multiline
