Yes, there is! This new tool is fast, efficient, and oh so easy to set up and use in our Produce Inventory Control System (PICS) software! Here are the details:
Product Chooser
The Product Chooser Screen is a new tool only available in PICS 3.0 which allows for quick sales order entries. It displays only items which have a Customer Prices record. These records are normally created when a product is sold to a customer, but can also be added manually. To use this screen, simply start a new sales order, choose a customer and then click the “P.C.” button. Once the screen below comes up, type in the quantity ordered for each stock item, optionally choose a unit, and optionally override the price, and then click on Save. A Sales Order line will be generated for each item you put in a quantity for.
This feature is enabled by default in the Sales Order screen (see above for how to bring it up). Note that there is a system control which can be set to make it come up automatically. To enable that, go to the System Controls screen, go to the record for Selling General – Launch Product Chooser, and set it to Y.
Note that this can only be done when you add a sales order. You cannot bring this screen back up when editing (but we are considering enhancing it to do that, so if you need that, please let us know).
Cust No – displays the customer number
Customer – displays the customer name and address
Show Products – this is a wildcard feature search field which will limit the product list for the search string typed. In the example below, typing “APPL” brings up “GALA APPLES” as well as “PINEAPPLES.
