BILLING MANAGEMENT - INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW Once orders have been picked, the user may proceed direct ly to billing. Orders may be shipped complete or part ially, w ith the user controlling w hether items are backordered or not. Any item requiring lot or serial control w ill require an entry at this t ime. Optionally, a customer may ut ilize the Shipping Module, w hich is an addit ional step in betw een order entry and billing. The Ship program is typically used w hen a packing list or bill of lading is required. This being the case, the user w ould indicate quant it ies shipped, lot numbers and serial numbers (if required), in the SHIP program rather than the BILL program. The same entries w ould not have to be repeated in the BILL program. The billing funct ion w ould execute the " autobill" command to " Bill Shipped Orders" . Optionally clients w ho w ish to use a part icular CARRIER' s system (such as UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc.) for a majority of their shipments may set up the Freight Interface Management System (see documentat ion). Information is passed betw een the CARRIER' s system and the Next Generat ion™ system on an order by order basis. The order information sent to the Carrier' s system includes customer name and address, order number, etc. The information received from the CARRIER' s system includes the tracking number, shipment w eights, f reight costs, etc. All manifest report ing is done under the CARRIER' s system. As orders are shipped by using the Shipping Module or billed using the BILL program, invoices w ill be created w ith a reference number (invoice number) sequentially assigned by the system and dif ferent than the order number. Items not shipped due to out of stock condit ions may be back ordered, if desired. Back order numbers w ill ref lect the number of shipments against that order. For example, 11111-02 means tw o (2) shipments have occurred on order number 11111. In the " billing process" , on-hand f igures are reduced and all sales analysis, commission and sales tax report ing is immediately updated. The general ledger is updated by running the invoice register w hich is run after the invoices are printed. This may be run daily or as the user feels appropriate.

COMMON FUNCTIONS USING COMMENTS HEADER/DETAIL COMMENTS Comments a user w ishes to print on forms can be entered in a variety of w ays. Users can enter comments from several programs such as ORDER, BILL, SHIP, POE, etc. on either the Header level, or Detail level. If entering comments on the detail level, then each line w ould have its ow n individual comments. To enter comments, select the Comment button on either the Header or Detail w indow s of the program you are using. When the Comment Maintenance screen appears, you may enter your addit ional free form information that is associated w ith the record. You determine in this program w hether or not to print the comments on the various forms and w hether or not to transfer them to the history f iles. The user has the ability to use a total of up to 9,999 lines per record. Each comment line may contain a total of 50 characters. Once comments have been established, the user may (U)pdate, (R)emove, and (V)iew the comments pertaining to that record. This Comment capability exists in many programs. STANDARD COMMENTS You can maintain standard comments in the system by using the program SCOM. These standard comments can then be transferred to various other programs that allow the user to enter Header and Detail comments. When the user is in a program, such as ORDER, BILL, POE, etc., and is entering or maintaining comments in the Comment Maintenance screen, they may select the Standard Transfer button at w hich point, a drop dow n list w ill appear. By select ing one of the standard comments from the list and select ing the OK button, the standard comment w ill be automatically brought back to w hat ever program the user is current ly using. MEMOA COMMENTS By using the MEMOA program, the user has the capability of adding comments that w ill print on ALL the forms selected for a part icular funct ion. For example, if you w ish to display a message on all orders such as HAPPY HOLIDAYS, you could go to the MEMOA program, add a record for the part icular form you desire. Make sure you use the proper ID, in this case you w ould use SOP. Type in the message or comments for this Memo A record. The information you entered w ill appear on ALL the Orders, in this case, HAPPY HOLIDAYS. When the SOP print program is executed, it searches for this record and w ill print your comments on ALL of the orders selected for print ing. THIS REMAINS IN – EFFECT UNTIL YOU DELETE OR CHANGE THE COMMENT IN MEMOA. You can also use this feature to display your Terms and Condit ions. There are certain special MEMOA ID' s that are signif icant to the system. They are: MEMOA -ID FUNCTION INVP For adding a free form message on the Invoice. SOP For adding a free form message on the Standing Orders. QOP For adding a free form message on the Quotes. POP For adding a free form message on the Purchase Orders.
