4 Product descriptions in clothing and other retail

businesses

Products for sale are usually equipped with labels.

For example, clothes have labels with a lot of information:

1. Model name. E.g. Shirt ZOLA3 2. Manufacturer number for their own. E.g. Code: 153245 3. Model number. E.g. M09043 4. Fabric code. E.g.123649 5. Colour code. E.g.10- black 6. Makings component. E.g. 95VI 5EA (95% viscose and 5% elastin) 7. Size. E.g. S (may contain also height: R-regular, L-long, etc.) 8. Barcode: The barcode identifies the manufacturer and specific product so the point of sale

register systems can automatically look up the price. 9. Maker: Made in .... E.g. Turkey

It is adviseable to specify as much information as possible on the product sheet.

Page 68: ERPLY Vers.3.0 User Guide

68

Code - a unique number code (may contain letters too). E.g. model number.

UPC-code – 8 or 13-figure number from a product’s label which is up to EAN standards. If an Erply

user wishes to generate their own barcodes, it may be possible on agreement. In that case, the

program has a numbered base code, number 20 is added as the identifier in the beginning, a control

number is added at the end and zeroes are added to make up a 13-digit code.

Type – Set as ’Product’ by default. It can also be a bundle (if the product consists of other specified and stocked products or components, e.g. recipes in the food industry).

Name ENG – the name of the product. It could include model, material and colour information for retail or the size of the product in the food industry (e.g. 50g of chocolate).

Active – Selecting products for an invoice will only show active products if the setting is switched on in the database. Add an exclamation mark ‘!’ at the end of the search phrase to find inactive products. For example:

Product group – Selected from previously specified groups under Inventory-> Settings. Product

groups are important for filtering and reports.

Series – Size parameter of a product in retail (clothes). For example, may contain height or bra sizes.

Brand- Is the combination of a name, word, symbol, picture and design – a combination that identifies

the products from others like it.

Sales price + VAT – The final price of the product including tax.

Net sales price – The price of the product without the tax added to it.

Purchase price and warehouse price – Will show up later. Take products in stock with purchase invoices to get the purchase price. Warehouse price is the purchase price with added transport cost.

It is advisable to insert a Supplier to make ordering easier through the program.

After saving you can add more information at the end of the sheet:

The button ‘Packs’ allows you to add information about packet types. For example:

Page 69: ERPLY Vers.3.0 User Guide

5 Offers. Sales document types and association with the

program

If you open ’Offers’ and click ’Type’, a list will open:

Some documents are only informative, some reserve products, some reduce product quantities and

some generate turnover. Which type to choose may pose a problem for a new user, so here’s a

helpful guide:

1) Invoice-waybill: In case of a transfer sale to a company, item(s) will be deducted from the stock.

2) Cash invoice: In case of a cash payment sale, item(s) also deducted from the stock. 3) Waybill: For if you send products out from the warehouse; no need to be counted as

turnover. Turnover depends on accounting. You can choose under the general configurations the way the program creates sales reports. If it is 1) according to sales documents or 2) according to the warehouse turnover. NB! You need to create an invoice on the basis of the waybill later. Tick several waybills to send as one invoice. Click ’More’ and select: ’Create invoice from selected waybills.’

Page 71: ERPLY Vers.3.0 User Guide

71

4) Prepayment invoice: In the case where there is no turnover and no product/service flow. Allows you to get a prepayment from the customer for the ordered goods. The prepayment will be taken off from the final payment amount later.

5) Offer: Offer does not reserve items or generate turnover and deduct from the stock. Products can be added to the offer as a free text. It is advisable to authorise the offer after getting a confirmation from the customer. You can create an invoice-waybill from an offer (click ‘More’).

6) Invoice: Sales to other countries. Deducts from stock and generates turnover. 7) Reservation: In the case where document authorisation has to reserve a product in the

stock for the customer. After authorising you can create an invoice, click ‘More’. 8) Credit invoice: In case a document is needed to return the product to the warehouse,

cancel customer’s obligation to pay and annul the turnover. 9) Order: Use this when the item has to be reserved in the stock after document

authorisation. You can create a purchase order from it that can be opened from ‘Purchase invoices’ – edit, authorise and send to the supplier.

10) An invoice: For when you send out the products with a waybill but an invoice is not created yet. Generates turnover if the value of ‘Create sales reports’ is set to ‘according to sales documents (invoice-waybills and invoices)’ under the general configuration.

NB! It is wrong to just change the document type and save it as another type of sales document. It

creates a document with a wrong number and can coincide with an already existing document

number. Use the options under ‘More’ to change documents.

Page 72: ERPLY Vers.3.0 User Guide

72

6 Prepayment and billing

If part of the sum is wanted in advance from the customer, it is necessary to create a

prepayment before. Later on an invoice-waybill will be created from it.

1. Create a prepayment. Go to ‘Offers’. Click ‘Add’ and choose the type as ‘Prepayment invoice’. Insert at least the customer, warehouse and the prepayment sum or amount in percentages. Add products with amounts. For example:

NB! You cannot enter the prepayment sum in the ‘Prepayment sum’ field. The box only shows the

preset ‘Advance-payment’ value.

Page 73: ERPLY Vers.3.0 User Guide

remaining sum, click ‘More’ (on the prepayment invoice line) and select ‘Invoice’. Invoice-waybill opens:

10.2 Import payments The easiest way is to save the payment file taken from the Internet bank in cvs-format onto your computer. Click ‘Import’ and you will see:

If the rows are as required, find the file by clicking ‘Choose file’ and then click the button ‘Import’. Payments will be imported. The program will notify how many payments were found.

10.3 Payment association with invoices

After that, go to ‘Payment association with invoices’:

Do the first association without applying a filter.

If you find associations, tick the row.

Click ‘Associate’.

If all payments cannot be associated, select the value for the ‘Apply a more strict filter’ as:

a) reference number

b) invoice number, customer’s name/reg. Code and exact sum

c) invoice number and customer’s name/reg. code

d) invoice number

Page 90: ERPLY Vers.3.0 User Guide

90

e) customer’s name/reg. code

The first filter (a) is the most exact and the last (e) is the least exact. It is advised to tick the box for

‘Allow invoices to be associated with earlier payments’. Click ‘Associate’.

A list will appear on the screen.

Tick the appropriate rows that can be associated and click ‘Associate’. Do this for all the filters, if

needed.

You will still see rows under payments that cannot be associated. If the client has overpaid or paid

twice, association cannot be done, a repayment has to be made for the client and the wrong payment

deleted.

A new and right payment should be created manually, if needed.

For a smaller payment, the client’s debt remains. The payment can be made into a prepayment if the

customer will keep getting invoices.

Open the payment in the ‘Payment’ module, fill in the customer field and then the customer will be

associated with the payment. When you create a new invoice for the customer, go to the Payment

module, find the payment and choose the right invoice from the selection to associate it with.

The program has a feature for a larger prepayment – it will be split and only the exact sum will be

associated with the invoice. If automatic splitting doesn’t work, remove the invoice association

(choose the blank for the field), save and try associating with the invoice again.

The surplus will show up as a separate payment, where the customer field is filled but the invoice filed

is empty.
