Voucher Maintenance

Voucher Maintenance

Open vouchers can be maintained after creation if desired. You can change select information on the voucher as well as the G/L distribution entries. This procedure will allow voiding of a voucher as well.

Payment Selection

Payment Selection

The heart of any good A/P system is its check writing process. Voucher payment selection needs to be quick, easy and forgiving. The system allows selecting vouchers for payment by date, vendor or voucher. When selecting by date you can include an earlier date to pick up any available cash discounts. The selected vouchers can be edited as well. So if you select to pay everything due by the end of the month, then run a pre-check register you can still make changes if you spot any errors in your selection.

Check Processing

Check Print Process

Checks can be selected, printed, deleted or reprinted as many times as needed, no updating is done until post time.

The system includes a transaction report that lists all adjustments made.

    Kit System

    Kit System

    The kit system ties in with order entry. A kit item never has inventory on hand. When you sell a kit item the component items that make up the kit are printed on the picking list and the kit item is printed on the packing list and invoice.

    Bin Tracking

    Bin Tracking

    The bin system allows the user to setup each bin in the warehouse. When it is used all inventory transactions must include a bin number. The system can be setup for the system to tell you where to put inventory as it is received and where to pull inventory from when it is picked. The system uses sales information to determine what inventory moves the fastest and suggests putting that inventory closer to the front of the ware house. If using order entry the system tells the picker what bin to pull the inventory from. This promotes cycling the inventory in a FIFO order. The system includes several programs designed for handheld scanners which can be used to make the warehouse completely paperless.

    Physical Inventory

    Physical Inventory

    The system includes several options for physical inventory counts. It provides for a full inventory count, a cycle count and a facility to counting serial inventory if it is used.

    Item Maintenance

    Item Maintenance

    The purchasing system relies on the inventory control system for its item maintenance. Please see the inventory control module for details on the item maintenance.

    Vendor Maintenance

    Vendor Maintenance

    The purchasing system relies on the Accounts Payable module for vendor information. If the A/P module is not purchased, the vendor maintenance is included with purchasing. See the A/P Module for more information on the vendor maintenance. Each vendor setup in A/P can have a different address for purchasing. If this address is not entered the standard A/P address will be used. The FOB point, ship code, lead time and review time can be default at the vendor level. Each vendor also has a minimum order amount that can be setup by value, weight or size.

    Utilities

    The system includes the following maintenance procedures:

    • P/O Ship Code Maintenance
    • Buyer Maintenance
    • Purchasing Parameters

    Processes

    Purchase Order Entry

    Purchase Order Entry

    Purchase orders can be entered manually or via the scheduling system. CSS's purchase order entry program is designed to be quick and efficient. The program allows look up of most fields if the user does not know the specifics. It also includes inquiry options for the vendor, item and item usage information so the person entering the P/O can make informed decisions on what to order.

    Purchase Scheduling

    Purchase Scheduling

    The purchase scheduling system automates the inventory purchasing process. It suggests what to order of each item based on min, max and safety stock quantity setup on the item. The min and maxes can be setup automatically based on item usage information, lead time, review time and a growth factor. The entry program allows users to view and change the suggested order quantities for each item before P/O's are generated. The data can be printed, reviewed and updated as much as needed. Once the user is satisfied with the items to order the system will generate and print the P/O automatically.

    Receiving

    Receiving

    Inventory receipts are entered manually be the receiver. The system can print a P/O receiver sheet for the receiver to manually check of what has been received. This allows the entry of the receipts to be done in the office at desk instead of in the warehouse. The system includes a handheld terminal program that can be used instead to scan the receipts as they come in. This requires purchasing of the terminals and associated hardware. At receiving time lot numbers and serial numbers are collected if the item requires them. Receipts can be printed and edited before posting. The receipts data can be re-printed indefinitely both before and after the post. The posting procedure updates the P/O, inventory, fixed assets if serialized inventory it used, general ledger if the receipts interface is setup and lots if lot tracking is used.

    Unbilled Receipts

    Unbilled Receipts

    The unbilled receipts program provides a check against A/P. When entering vouchers, users in the A/P department enter the P/O and item data from the invoice. In purchasing the receipts data is entered for the P/O. The unbilled receipts procedures print a report that shows any item invoiced that have not been received or received that have not been invoiced. This report shows if you have been billed for items you have not received. If using a receipts liability account in G/L this report allows you reconcile that account. The system also allows adjustments to made to remove errors from the report.

    Reporting

    P/O Printing

    P/O Printing

    The system can be configured to print P/O's on demand or in batch mode. P/O's can also be emailed or faxed to vendors if either of those systems are purchased. P/O receiver reports can also be printed to the warehouse if you are doing the receiving on paper.

    I/P Reporting

    I/P Reporting

    This system comes with the ability to print, archive, fax or email any statement, invoice or report that is generated by the system. You have several options on how the reports will be produced including paper, PDF, Excel spread sheet or other formats.

    I/P Reports

    In addition to reporting that comes out of the processes, the system offers the following reports:

    • Recommended Order Listing
    • Open Purchase Order Listing
    • Open Purchase Order Log
    • Unbilled Purchase Orders
    • Print Items with Sales History
    • Purchasing Activity for Item
    • Print Backorder Report
    • Current Cost Comparison
    • P/O Detail By Ref Number
    • Purchase Order Error Listing

    Interfaces

    Inventory Control

    I/C Integration

    The purchasing system requires the inventory control module. The system relies on the I/C module for item information and inquiry options. Purchasing updates the quantity on order and on hand.

    Accounts Payable

    A/P Integration

    Purchasing can cross reference accounts payable via the unbilled receipts process. This system allows users to compare what has been received to what has been invoiced and look for any errors.

    General Ledger

    G/L Integration

    Purchasing can be setup to accrue inventory received liability. If using this option the receiving program updates the inventory account and puts the liability in the received inventory liability account. This erases the gap between being invoiced for an item actually receiving the item.

    Manufacturing

    CSS has a manufacturing package that is designed to provide all the functionality you need to handle all aspects of the manufacturing process. The system will control the manufacturing process from the purchasing and inventory of raw materials to creating production orders and the entry of finish goods. This system comes with a bill-of-material system that handles multiple layers and sub-assemblies. You can enter and print production orders as desired and follow the production process using the interactive work in process system.

    Production Orders

    Production Order Maintenance

    The production order maintenance allows the user to setup and schedule productions. Productions can also be created from the production scheduling system which adds them into the production order maintenance program. Productions start by using the bill of material for the item being produced. That BOM can then be changed just for the production. This allows the system to used for both standard and custom productions.

    Bill of Materials

    Bill of Materials

    Bill of materials can be setup for specific items. Each bill of material handles up to 99,999 job steps. Each job step has its own list of materials and labor. Work in process can be posted one job step at a time or even for partial job steps. For rapid productions users generally only enter one job step, you can learn more about rapid productions under the processes tab.

    Processes

    Work in Process

    Work in Process Entry

    The work in process entry program allows the user to enter what has been completed on a production. This is done by job step, but allows for a step to closed in full, partially and for all steps to be closed. Actual labor time can be recorded or standard time can be defaulted when closing a whole step. Actual scrap and used quantities can also be recorded or defaults can be used. A production can have unlimited WIP posts. This allows for a job to completed in a day and posted in full or for jobs that takes months or even years to be closed partially as work is done. Closing a job as it is being produced allows the raw materials to be relieved and the labor to be accounted for before the production is finished.

    Rapid Productions

    Rapid Production Entry

    While the manufacturing system allows for jobs that can take a long time to finish, some of our clients have short jobs that they do not need to manually close in sections. This is where the rapid production entry can save a lot of time. If you have one employee building a small product that does not take very long, it is more efficient to just enter what he produced each day. Using this system there is no open production. If an employee produces 100 widgets you just enter the item and the quantity produced and the date produced. The system will relieve the raw materials and scrap based on the BOM, add the finished item to inventory and make the appropriate G/L entries.

    Production Scheduling

    Production Scheduling

    The production scheduling process allows the system to tell you what to produce. This works good for manufactures that make the same item over and over again. However this is not useful for custom jobs. The system looks at the min, max and safety quantities for an item and suggests that you make more when needed. The inventory module is capable of generating these values based on inventory usage, see the inventory module for more details. The entry program allows users to view and change the suggested production quantities for each item before production orders are generated. The data can be printed, reviewed and updated as much as needed. Once the user is satisfied with the items to be produced the system will generate production orders automatically.

    Reporting

    MAN Reporting

    MAN Reporting

    This system comes with the ability to print, archive, fax or email any statement, invoice or report that is generated by the system. You have several options on how the reports will be produced including paper, PDF, Excel spread sheet or other formats.

    MAN Reports

    In addition to reporting that comes out of the processes, the system offers the following reports:

    • Inventory Transaction Lists
    • Production Status Report
    • Production Order Listing
    • Print Lot Log
    • Work in Process Listing
    • Raw Material Usage Listing
    • Production Requirements

    Interfaces

    Inventory Control

    I/C Integration

    Inventory Control is required with the manufacturing system. The manufacturing system uses the inventory control for many of the inquires for item usage. It relieves raw materials and adds in production quantities. The manufacturing system also updates the quantities on production and raw material commitments in the inventory control system.

    General Ledger

    G/L Integration

    The manufacturing system updates the general ledger for labor expense, raw material use, scrapped inventory and finished goods produced.

    Order Entry / Invoicing

    CSS designed our order entry system to be used in the wholesale-distribution environment. This system is fully integrated with the other modules in our system and can handle any number of users.

    Order Entry

    Order Entry

    The order entry program is designed to allow rapid and efficient entry of orders. The entry program defaults as much as it can from the customer file, system settings and inventory files. Based on the settings it automatically calculates sales tax if needed. An order can be entered with nothing more than a customer number, an item number an quantity ordered, everything else will be defaulted. Of course the customer number, item number and many other fields can be searched for if the user does not know the correct number. While the system defaults the majority of the options, it still allows the user to update them manually. Let's say you enter an item but want the description to be changed, no problem just type over the default description. If a customer wants to ship to a different address, just change it, or add it to the ship to file for later use. The system also allows user defined transactions codes that can affect how the system functions. These can be used to setup quotes, to allows payment entry or to send the invoices to A/R. There are also options for tax location, effect inventory, drop ship, print picking tickets in batch or online and many other options. This allows users to setup transactions for POS style sales, wholesales sales, returns, quotes and much more.

    Recurring Orders

    Recurring Orders

    The recurring order system allows users to enter an order that gets repeated automatically. The program uses the regular order entry program but adds the recurring options. These options allow the order to be sent to open orders monthly, quarterly, yearly or every so many days. The program also includes auto payment options for credit card or checking drafts.

    Quotes

    Quotes

    The order entry system is setup to allow quotes. Quotes are entered like orders except with a quote transaction code. When entering a quote there is an extra screen to enter quote information such an expiration date and quoted to information. Quotes do not commit inventory. Quotes can be printed on demand or in batch, they can also be emailed or faxed immediately. If approved quotes can be converted to open orders at which time the inventory is committed and a picking list may be printed.

    Drop Shipments

    Drop Shipments

    The system allows any line on an order be drop shipped. When a line is drop shipped a P/O is automatically created for it. The order can have multiple items go to multiple vendors, so one order may create multiple purchase orders. When the product is shipped by the vendor the items can be invoiced. Drop shipments do not affect inventory.

    Utilities

    The system includes the following maintenance procedures:

    • Open Order Detail Inquiry
    • Order Detail Search

    Processes

    Order Releasing/Picking

    Order Releasing/Picking

    The system contains many options that affect the work flow. The orders go through several statuses but when they enter each status is configurable. Releasing the order changes the status to released which means it can or has been sent to the warehouse for picking. Orders can be released to the warehouse when entered or later through the order status maintenance or the pooled order system. The picking tickets can print directly in the warehouse or in the office for review. Using the pooled order system allows the warehouse to print released orders when they are ready to pick them. This system also includes a priority that can be set to move specific order up in the queue. Using the Order status maintenance to release orders allows the sales person to decide when orders get shipped. There is also an option to pick orders via a handheld terminal if a paperless warehouse is desired.

    Packing/Shipping

    Packing/Shipping

    After an order is released and picked there is an optional packing/shipping program. This program can be setup as one step or two depending on the configuration of the software. The first step is to enter the packing data. This is done by either entering full cartons or by packing mixed boxes. The system allows bar code scanning to make this process more accurate and quick. Each item can have a bar code for an individual item(UPC), for an inner carton, for a master carton and for a pallet. The system will detect what the user is scanning and make the appropriate entry. For instance if a pallet is scanned it will add the total number of masters on the pallet to the shipping file. Going through this process validates that the order was picked correctly it also provides all ASN information if needed for EDI. After the order is packed a packing list can be printed. At his time shipping can be processed or it can be done at a shipping station by another user.

    Invoicing

    Invoicing

    If the shipping process is used orders are flagged to invoice automatically. If a manual process is used then user can flag the orders to invoice. The system can be configured to print invoices automatically or in batch based on the transaction code. If using a POS style system you would have them print when the order is closed to give to the customer, otherwise they are normally printed in batch mailed at the end of the day. If using a POS style system is desired a receipt can be printed instead of an invoice, a payment can taken in order entry and the order can be set post immediately.

    Posting

    Posting

    The system can be setup to post orders at several times. Posting normally relieves inventory and updates A/R, general ledger and sales analysis. However the system can be configured to close orders when completed and post them later. This process just updates inventory when closed, it is used for transfers and a few other custom situations. Full posting can be done automatically in the nightly routine, manually at the end of the day or immediately when an order is shipped or closed. Do to the different configurations posting report can also be run after the post is complete or with the post. Some users post manually and want the reports to come out with the posting while other users post automatically and have reports produced at the end of the day.

    Back Orders

    Back Orders

    The system allows any line to be backordered. It can be partially shipped or fully back ordered. The items that do ship are invoiced then and the remaining items are invoiced when they ship. The customer file has an option to only ship complete.

    Reporting

    Invoices

    Invoices

    The system is complete customizable when it comes to the order entry flow. As listed under invoicing in the processes section, invoices can be printed at multiple times. However they can also be faxed or emailed automatically to multiple numbers or addresses. Any contact setup under the customer can be flagged to receive an automatic invoice.

    O/E Reporting

    O/E Reporting

    This system comes with the ability to print, archive, fax or email any statement, invoice or report that is generated by the system. You have several options on how the reports will be produced including paper, PDF, Excel spread sheet or other formats.

    Inventory

    I/C Integration

    The order entry system requires the inventory control module. The order entry system commits inventory quantities when items are entered on an order. When an order ships the quantities are removed from inventory. The kit system also works with Order Entry which means the component items are committed and removed from inventory instead of the kit item. If using the packing program items are committed and when released added to the on pick quantity.

    Accounts Receivable

    A/R Integration

    The order entry system requires the accounts receivable module. The system uses values from the customer master file to handle ordering. When invoiced the system updates the open A/R with the invoice information.

    Tax Tables

    The tax table system handles all tax calculations. There are codes for federal and for state taxes. The tables can be changed manually by the user. Tables can also be setup for marital status and multiple methods.

    Utilities

    Processes

    Time Cards

    Time Cards

    The system allows for automatic time card generation by company and/or department. It can be done for salary employees or hourly employees. Hourly employees default the hours from values entered in the employee file. Once generated the time cards can be changed in the time card maintenance to add things like vacation usage. Time card can also be manually entered one at a time in the time card maintenance. The system includes a time card list for quick verification of time card data.

    CSS can provide a customer import utility if a time clock system is being used. CSS can also provide a time and attendance program that allows employees to clock in and out of our system.

    Check Cycle

    Check Cycle

    Once time cards are entered, the check cycle can be done. It begins with the calculate earning procedure. This program calculates all voluntary deduction and taxes for the checks. It prints a list that includes error reporting. Errors can include not enough income to withhold standard deduction or overridden tax amounts. Time cards can be updated and the earnings recalculated as many times as needed until all issues are taken care of.

    After all earning have been entered and verified the checks can be printed. The checks can be reviewed, corrected and reprinted if needed. CSS has default check print programs for blank laser checks, pre-printed laser checks and pin feed checks. Blank laser check forms can be set up to use multiple accounts and have the MICR font printed directly on them, relieving the need to change check stock for multiple companies. Full direct deposit employees can either be provided with a voided check form or an earning slip printed on regular paper.

    Once the checks have been verified they can be closed. This updates the employee records, creates the history records, creates the outstanding check file and sets up the direct deposit information. Once closed a direct deposit file can be generated for uploading to the bank.

    Manual Checks

    Manual Checks

    If a quick check needs to be done, for instance for a terminated employee, it can be entered in the manual check program. The manual check program provides a quick entry process to doing one check at a time. The program can be set to print the check or you can opt for a hand written check. The program still does all the tax and deduction calculations that the check cycle performs.

    Check Voids

    Check Voids

    If, or more like when, errors occur checks can be voided and re-entered. It never fails someone will eventually record vacation time to the wrong employee or miss-key something and not catch it when reviewing the time card list, the earning list and the actual checks. If that happens a check can be voided and re-entered. The void system allows entering in batches, printing and then posting.

    Vac/Sick/Per Accruals (PTO)

    Accruals can be handled in several ways. Some companies just give an annual amount of hours. For this setup we have an accrual program that allows entry, edit and posting to be done separate of the check cycle. This system works well if the employer provides a straight number of hours based on the calendar year. The system also handles accruing time based on earnings or hours worked, this accrues time each check cycle. Many companies are going to a paid time off (PTO) system. To handle that in CSS's software we simply rename vacation time to PTO, then you can accrue it using any method above.

    Reporting

    Check Printing

    Check Printing

    CSS has default check print programs for blank laser checks, pre-printed laser checks and pin feed checks. Blank laser check forms can be set up to use multiple accounts and have the MICR font printed directly on them, relieving the need to change check stock for multiple companies. Full direct deposit employees can either be provided with a voided check form or an earnings slip printer on regular paper. Direct deposit slips can also be emailed directly to employees or to department or company managers to be handed out.

    Quarterly Reporting

    W2 Reporting

    W2 Reporting

    The W2 system allows update to every field on the W2. All data is defaulted from the earning for the year. Users can enter the appropriate code and box for each voluntary deduction at the company level. Each employee can be maintained manually so you can add things like third party sick pay or any earnings that came from outside payroll. The system includes a W2 register to verify all data that includes some error reporting. Once everything is verified you can print laser or pin feed W2's on pre-printed forms. CSS handles the default forms provided by the IRS, if alternate forms are used CSS can provide a custom program to handle them. The payroll system also generates the W2 file to be uploaded to SSA.

    Action System

    Action System

    The power of the H/R System lies in its ability to be configured to track any data that is needed. This means that the user can setup actions for whatever they need. An example would be setting up an action code for Employee Reviews. The Action code allows the user to enter what data they want to track, in this example this may be the review date, person doing the review and outcome. Under the Employee reviews action there can be multiple types, these may include Annual Review and Quarterly Review. Once the action is setup each section will appear in each employees detail screen for the action. Under that section details can be recorded for the employee. So following the example an H/R user could setup and annual review for John Doe on a specific date. The entry also allows for a calendar code, date and time. If this is entered the entry will appear in the calendar system. The detail entry also allows for comments on the outcome of the review.

Also if a customer has ordered several time with any items the system predicts when they should order again and lets the CSR know if they have not. Customer and prospects quotes are added if they are nearing the expiration date to allow the CSR to try to close the sale. Items on back order show up after a while so the CSR can see why their customers are not getting items in a timely order. Orders that have not shipped in a timely manner are shown. Every comment in the system also has the option to add a next call entry so the CSR can leave themselves message to check on things in the future.
