Becoming Familiar with M.O.M. and WindowsIf youve used Windows before, everything about M.O.M. will alreadseem very familiar.

Tool Bar- right below the Menu Bar with the colorful picturebuttons.
The Menu Bar contains all of the options and functions in the M.O.Msystem. The Tool Bar is a subset of the Menu Bar and contains onlythose options that you use most often.

Using Your Keyboard
Throughout the M.O.M. system, menu options, push-buttons, andother graphical selections have a corresponding keyboard hot-keyletter. You can easily recognize the hot-key letter because it isunderlined in the option name. For instance, in the Menu Bar optionProduct, the P is the hot-key. To use the hot-key, press and hold on your keyboard and press the appropriate hot-key for that option.
Using the Tool BarNot every screen in M.O.M. has a Tool Bar, and in most cases the TooBar is provided only as a way to quickly access those options that youse most. To use the Tool Bar, just click on the button.
Lookup ScreensThe Lookup screen is one of the most useful and powerful tools in
M.O.M. Throughout the system, it can be used to find any one of themaintainable objects in the system (Source Key, Stock Item, User,Catalog Code, etc.) using virtually any piece of information about thaobject.
The top line of fields, LOOKUP ON, CONDITION, and VALUE wortogether to express the formula to be used as the lookup criteria.
1. Use the LOOKUP ON pull-down menu to select the piece ofinformation about the object to be used as the lookup criteria.
2. Use the CONDITION pull-down menu to specify the way thelookup matches are to be determined based on the VALUE. For

instance, equals, greater than, contains, etc.
3. Enter the VALUE to be used to determine a match and press.The results of the search are displayed in the list.
4. Optionally, use the SORT BY pull-down menu to sort the list usina specific piece of information.
5.Optionally, use the THIRD COLUMN pull-down menu to show aspecific piece of information in the third column of the list.
For example, a supplier of ours, the American Exercise SupplyCompany (AES) has gone out of business. We buy many items fromthem and want to make sure that we enter a new supplier code foreach of these items. Therefore we need to look up the stock items fothat supplier and make the appropriate changes.
LOOKUP ON - We would select Current Distributor, because we arebasing the lookup on the supplier of the items.
CONDITION - We would select EQUALS, because we are basing oulookup on the supplier code for the American Exercise Company.
VALUE- We would enter AES, the supplier code for the AmericanExercise Supply Company.
Press and the stock items for that supplier are listed.
Note: The lookup parameters selected above are optionally saved buser ID for the next lookup depending n the preferred setup by thauser. See Setting Up Defined General Lookup Preferences in Chapte1.
Hint: Place the cursor in the Value field and press ENTER to viewthe list of all stock items
Multi-Select ScreensLike the Lookup screens, the Multi-Select screens let you find one ormore of the maintainable objects in M.O.M. and then allows you to
select either one or several of these items to create a list. These screenare used throughout M.O.M. but mostly for generating reports.

4. To remove all of the items from the Selected Items box, select theREMOVE ALL button.
For example, we want to run a Master Inventory report, but we onlywant to include only the stock items that cost over $100.
SELECT ON - We would select PRICE, because we are basing the
lookup on the price of the items.
CONDITION - We would select GREATER THAN, because we arebasing our lookup on items over $100.

Backing Up Your DataPlease remember, accurate data is your most valuable asset. The wayto keep data safe and up-to-date is to back up frequently!Protect youbusiness from data loss! The most common reason for data loss ishardware or electrical failure. To avoid any problems associated withthese conditions, it is strongly suggested that all files associated withM.O.M. and its databases be backed up regularly and frequently.Archive all back-up copies in a safe place. If you have a lot of data,you might want to consider using a streaming tape backup system.Depending on which operating system and version you are running,back-up and restore procedures vary. Consult your operating systemreference manual for specific procedures.
Routine Back-upsMost users back-up their data based on the volume of orders enteredIf you have a high volume of data (network versions especially), bacup every day. If you have just a few orders per day, you might onlyneed to back up every other day or even once a week. If yourbusiness is phone order generated, you should back-up very
frequently, since you have no written audit trail.
Special SituationsIn addition to routine back-ups, back-up your data before:
Running either the Post A/R or Post A/P functions in M.O.M., sincposted information is finalized in the general ledger

The Initial Caps and Upper Case options are applied no matter howthe name is typed. Free Form preserves the upper and lower caseas typed by the operator.
Alternate Customer Number Field for LookupAs another means of simplifying the task of finding a customer in
your database, you can create a customized Alternate CustomerNumber by combining various database fields of customer informatiointo one single XBASE expression. For instance, you could combinethe Last Name of the Customer with ZIP code and phone number arecode to create a single lookup field. When customer Smith of WayneNJ (ZIP Code = 07470 and area code = 201) calls to place anotherorder, you would enter SMITH07470201 in the Alternate CustomerNumber field to find an exact match.
Once the Alternate Customer Number field is defined as an XBASE
expression, M.O.M. automatically creates the unique number for eaccustomer in the database.
Note: If you change the XBASE expression, M.O.M. gives a newalternate customer number to each customer that has a blankAlternate # field.

Creating an Alternate Order Number Field for LookupAs another means of simplifying the task of finding an order in youdatabase, you can create a customized Alternate Order Number bycombining various database fields of order information into one singlXBASE expression. For instance, you could combine the CustomerNumber with the Customers Purchase Order Number. When customeSmith (Customer Number 12345) calls about his purchase ordernumber 678 order, you would enter 12345678 in the Alternate OrderNumber field to display his order on the screen.
Once the Alternate Order Number field is defined as a XBASEexpression, M.O.M. automatically creates the unique number for eacnew order entered into the database.
Note: You cannot create an Alternate Order Number for lookup ifthis field is to be used for an order number imported from 1.) anorder taking service bureau, 2.) another system, 3.) the SiteLINKweb commerce optional module.

Customizing Order ProcessingOrder processing is one of the most important functions in M.O.M. Ibrief, it is the way that you take an order from order entry and ship ito your customer. In M.O.M., order processing consists of a number odifferent stages through which an order must pass before it finallyships to your customer.
Credit Card Approval - for those orders with credit card payment,the process of approving and charging the amounts.
Picking - the process of printing picking paperwork and pulling thitems off the shelves for each order
Packing - the process of printing packing slips and boxing the ord Gift Certificate Printing - the process of printing any gift certificate
that are ordered by customers. Box Labeling - the process of printing any special labeling
paperwork for the box, including shipping labels, airbills, COD tag
etc. Notices - the process of printing customer notices, both for orders
and non-order situations. Drop Shipping - the process of sending purchase orders to the
designated suppliers of each order that are to be sent directly toeach customer.
Shipping - the process of informing the designated carriers of eachpackage that is to be shipped to each customer.
Invoicing - the process of printing invoices for those orders forwhich the invoice needs to be mailed.
Each stage is latched to the previous one, except for CustomerNotices, Dropshipping and Catalog Request Labels. Latching means aorder must pass through each stage before going to the next one. Andas new orders enter the first stage after order entry, there are otherorders that have already worked their way further through the stagesAs a result, it is possible to have many different orders at manydifferent stages at any one time.

how you want each stage of processing to be done - either in batchusing the Batch Order Processing function or one-at-a-time using thePackers Workstation. For instance, if you want to process all of yourpick tickets in batch and then give them to your shipper to box andship one at a time, M.O.M. lets you control the way that you want toprocess those stages of order processing where paperwork printingand/or a specified manual task is involved.
