M-19.6 Stock Status
C –CPR Customer Pricing



New ‘C’ option in stock status to get to CPR
After entering a part number in stock status, you may enter
either ‘C’ or ‘CPR’ (Customer Pricing) <enter>. This will take
you directly to the Customer Pricing screen. You can enter or
lookup the customer number, then it will automatically bring
over the part number from stock status and display your
customer specific price.
This feature is a time saver when your customer asks first if
you have a part, then they want to know how much. This will
allow your sales staff to quickly get to Customer Pricing, and
that customer's price, without having to back out of stock
status and enter CPR and it keeps them quoting off of the
stock status screen.

Store Suggested Tips

M-8.9.15 Inventory By Vendor
– Here's the scenario: You need to purchase a part from a
vendor that only cost $25 but the vendor has a $100
minimum. You need to add something to the PO that sells
in your store but you can't remember any of the part
numbers. Enter warehouse and vendor number to show
you all the part numbers for that vendor along with sales
ytd plus qty on hand rop etc.. A fast, easy method to find
parts to fill in the gap(s). If you want the printed version
just do 8.9.14

M-11.10 List of Items Sold by Customer
– Great report for printing out how much a customer
purchases from a vendor.
Flag Prod for Certification
M-12.3.2.12, field 3
 M-12.3.6 to edit Haz. codes
 M-12.3.27 for listing of codes

More S.S.T.


warranty claims and return info…
Auto-Logoff
Auto-Logoff -this helps prevent ‘too
many users’ problem. It automatically
logs off ports that aren’t in use for over
15 mins *.
 Where:

– M-12.10, newly added field 8.
Y = auto-logoff port
 N = do not auto-logoff port

*only logs them off from the menu (not when in a program)
Auto-Logoff
Locked Records
What to do when your terminal is locked
and beeping.
 Go to another terminal to M-20.3
 DO NOT BREAK OUT

Paperless EOD/EOM
Why use it?
 How to use it.

– List the reports
– Program the reports
– Turn control over to paperless
Why you should use
Paperless EOD
Because…
 …it will help save a lot of trees .
 …it will save money $$$.
 … report storage is more efficient, cost
effective and retrieval is easy.
 …it is a really, really good thing.
What it does for you!
Reduce costs associated with EOD
 Eliminate wasted resources (paper,
printer, ink, etc) associated with EOD
 Increased Store Level control of
reports
 Enable Electronic report storage

– Virtually indefinite retrieval potential of lost
reports
All you have to do…

4 Simple Steps
1. Review Standard EOD Reports.

Email custom EOD report titles to DST to
include in your EOD XREF.
2. Maintain EOD XREF Listing.
3. Confirm things are printing and emailing
correctly.
4. Suppress traditional printing.
Making it Happen
