Hi everyone,

We have a lot of small transactions in Finance from spare parts call -- $20 to $50. most of the time using credit cards. We are thinking of getting a small package that can do this kind of sales transaction, possibly with inventory capability then lumping them all together and enter as one transaction in Baan.

Do you think this is a good idea? Does anybody in the board do this?any suggestion on which software to use? I guess what were trying to accomplish is not to have too many transactions in Baan that needs to be finalized.

TIA

How about creating a one-time customer code,

using a salesordertype collect order (1 order number a day) connected to the one-time supplier)

This way u get 1 big sales order a day (multiple customers w/out registering customer data as they pay immediatly or by CC)

On payment by CC u make sure that the ordernumber is added to the CC payment data so that receips of money on the bank include that ordernumber (to make a match with the total invoice amout (which has not been sent off course)).

Every day the (1 big) order is closed and posted to finance. Make sure that in parameters tfgld4150m000 compression is on. (this goes for all transactions then!)

When the bank receipts are maintained every receipt can be treated as an partly payment.

Realize that when you do this, your stock is maintained correctly, but there is not a lot of data to track tis proces financially.


I hope this all makes sense as I did not com[pletely set up a procedure for it.


cheers,
Michel
