Electronic Invoicing/RMS Support Rates

Has anyone out there had much luck using electronic invoices (EDI) from venders in RMS? We are a deli/retail location and move a lot of product in and out. Our pricebook is 2500 items and growing fast and I've found manually putting in invoices is too slow. I haven't gone the route of scanning, but while it may be somewhat faster, its still seems like redundant data entry. We get hundreds of cases of products a week from Coke, Pepsi, Beer & Wine distributors, etc. I know another issue is not very many offer EDI yet, but they are working on it. We have a service station/convenience store and they new software we are upgrading is really pushing the ability to recieve EDI.

The other question is has anyone found any good deals on annual support for RMS? The lowest I've found for SO 2 lanes is $305.

You have a few options. A couple questions though:

  1. Are you generating PO's from Store Ops? If so, when you accept the order, it will update your inventory with the count of what was received.

  1. We have a few suppliers that require us to email our orders in a specific format. We generate a PO and then have an external app (accessed via Utilities/Add-ins), that allows us to select the Supplier and any open PO. Once selected, the program builds a text file in the supplier's specified format that we then email to them.

  1. I was generating PO's, but now we are just doing hard counts and not using up to date inventory so much. We have a busy operation with 3 different businesses, RMS running on only one and it doesn't have an employee pool that can easily figure out back office RMS.
  2. Our suppliers all send out sales reps every week who order via their handhelds (Coke, Pepsi, Budwieser, Core-Mark, etc.) we haven't talk to them yet about receiving electronic copies. The smaller companies, not so hard to get an answer, but it can be a pain with the big corps. The sales reps aren't often informed on this.
