Headquarters question.

I have a 7 store + 1 warehouse in which purchase orders do not get created for each individual store. What takes place is that the purchasing manager purchases for the warehouse then distributes inventory to the individual stores. Any ideas?

Hi Phil,

I am assuiming that you have already purchase RMS HQ and RMS Store. In this setup , you will need 1 HQ and 8 Store..1 store license that will function as a Warehouse only and 7 for Stores that will do the sales and inventory transfer except for PO. In this way, you can have a centralized purchasing location.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have similar setup before with my previous employer... what we have done is...we allocate 1 store as warehouse location merely for purchasing, receiving and storage.

In this , we have a separate PC that holds the HQ Setup and Store Warehouse while they connect thru lan.

So, I have created my PO in warehouse PC then do the posting and inter store transfer..after that...I connect the warehouse PC to HQ for data pooling.

Let me know if this help or further explanation required.

Regards,

Thanks for the reply. The explanation makes sense, but if you could just make sure I got this right.

PC 'A' has the HQ Server running PC 'B' has HQ Manager, HQ client running, and POs are generated here.

Is this right?

Thanks

Phil, I recommend contacting a qualified RMS partner for help with the system set up and roll out. Much of my work is fixing systems already installed, which is more difficult than setting it up right the first time. Many have been installed by partners who don't specialize in RMS.

each store - RMS store operations + HQ client warehouse - RMS store operations + HQ client

HQ server is an application that needs LAN connection (or same PC) to the HQ server box. This appplication transfers communication through the HQ client application at the stores.

HQ manager needs LAN connection to the DB server or remote desktop to the LAN. PO's can be generated at the store manager level for a specific stores order

- in your case warehouse, or at HQ manager with worksheet 340 for any store.

In either case the warehouse would receive the PO's and issue transfer's to the stores.

Good luck!

Hi Phil V,

It would be best if you could seek some partners advice near you but any how I'll try to straighten it up.

PC A - will have your HQ Setup. Meaning HQ Sever, HQ Administrator and HQ Manager.

While PC B, will have a Store Setup wherein you just have to do all PO's and Inter Store Transfer, this PC will act as a warehouse location. Each Store setup will have an HQ client running for it to communicate to HQ Server.
