handling store use items

Perhaps you could create an inventory adjustment reason code 'STOREUSE'. Whenever you adjust your inventory to remove an item for store use, use this reason code. I believe that the Item Movement reports can be sorted by reason code.

HTH, Tom

Marc,

Ditto on what TT said. That's what we recommend to our clients too.

Thanks all for the suggestion! I like that idea better, it's easier and will give me the monthly totals I need.

BTW, Craig, we are also a pet store. I am setup and testing / training now, looking to go live in about 2 weeks (with fingers crossed).

Craig, I appreciate the suggestions. On returns, how does the cashier know what vendor a return goes to?

Also, I am looking for suggestions on how to handle a purchase from customer (cash). Do you do that at the register and if so, how are you handling it?

Marc

Customer Return (Return to main inventory) reason codes are not the same as Inventory Manual Adjustment reason codes. The Cashier typically deals only with the Customer Return reason codes. The Inventory Adjustment reason codes will be used for return to vendor merchandise and will generally not be used by the cashiers.

From what you both suggest, I can put together something that will work for me. Thanks for all the input, it has been very helpful.

How do you creat the report?. I whent to Item Movement and sorted by reason code. but nothing will show up. thanks

Jose, First of all, if you want the cost associated with the items to show up on the report, you'll need to download the "Item Movement History Report with Cost" from customersource. Put it in the reports folder, and restart manager. It should then show up under the custom tab in reports. Then, put in your reason code exactly as you have it worded, not the number. Pick the dates you want reported, and you should be good to go. Craig

Thanks Craig, that worked. thanks
