| How Does IndusBO Help You? |
| |
 |
IndusBO is a simple software package that eliminates
the need to track backorders manually. Under normal
circumstances the backorders waiting to be filled in
Accpac ERP Order Entry do not get any attention until
someone goes through them and checks the inventory to
see if there is adequate stock available to fill these
backorders.
IndusBO prepares a list of items on backorder,
sorts them by the expected ship date for each inventory
location, checks the quantity available at that location
and distributes it automatically among the backorders
according to the expected ship date, either in the sequence
of order number or customer number as desired. Once
the quantity shipped has been updated, a shipment is
generated for each order. It is also possible for the
user to edit the quantities shipped manually before
creating shipments in case automatic allocation is not
acceptable. The user may also indicate while setting
up the system whether an invoice should be generated
for each shipment, in which case IndusBO generates
the invoice.

IndusBO
found out from inventory control that the quantities available
for each item were as shown in the above table. If the
quantity available is less than the quantity on backorder,
IndusBO ships only what is available otherwise
it ships whatever in on backorder. |
| |
|
| Functionality |
| |
|
| |
IndusBO provides a simple five-step
procedure for tracking and maintaining backorders: |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
Step 1: Load Data |
| |
This step goes through all
orders in Accpac for Windows Order Entry data and selects
all items on backorder for which the stock is available. |
| |
|
| |
Step 2: Print Outstanding Backorders |
| |
After the data has been loaded, this step
is used to print the Outstanding
Backorders loaded in the previous step. |
| |
|
| |
Step 3: Edit Backorders |
| |
The user may go through the report and
decide on the priorities of filling backorders, changing
the quantities to be shipped if necessary or may decide
to ship all the items. |
| |
|
| |
 |
| |
|
| |
Step 4: Process Backorders |
| |
This step modifies the quantity shipped
on each order and creates shipments. The user may choose
to generate invoices in which case an invoice is created
depending on the settings in Accpac. |
| |
|
| |
Step 5: Print Processws Backorders |
| |
After shipments and invoices have been
created, this step is used to print the Processed
Backorders processed inthe previous step. |
