Vendor Folder Format

Overview


 

 



Shafer's uses a folder format for our master records to simplify the process of finding information. The
Vendor and Profile folders hold the data related to the vendor setup (name, address, credit limit, terms, etc.). Each additional folder will provide vendor invoice history, line card and purchase order information. Folders for storing warranty returns and insurance information are also provided. Any documents created, picture images or event notifications may be stored in a Documents folder. If using Shafer's Mobile Office, vendors may be identified as Mobile, giving technicians access to their files while out in the field.

· Vendor

The vendor folder holds all of the contact information as well as the vendor's address. From this screen you can email a vendor directly using our internal email feature (the letter icon) or, if your computer system is set up with Net Phone or other telephony, you can use the phone icon to dial the contact.

· Invoices

Invoice and vendor history are located within the Invoices folder. Here you will see the aging and current balance. To see the details of an invoice, you need only to double-click on the line you would like to view. The Details button toward the top right-hand corner of the screen will display more of a detailed history and provides filters by which to sort through the information.

· Line Card

The Line Card folder creates a relationship between this vendor and the material they sell. In addition, print groups may be created in order to quickly locate specific items. Here we see all of the items sold by the vendor in order according to the product or part number.

You can easily bring up the original return record right from this folder by simply double-clicking on the record.

· Insurance/Liability

Store all of your insurance certificate information here in the Insurance/Liability folder. The expiration date can be set to notify users when the current certificate will expire. Here we see there is only 9 days left on this certificate. A notes field is provided for any additional information (certificate number, etc.).

· Documents

The documents folder will allow files to be attached to the vendor master record. You can store letters, memos, digital pictures and events. There are also sample templates that will allow you to create text documents or do a mail merge, importing the vendor information (name address, etc) directly into the document. The documents function uses the word processing programs you are already familiar with so there is no need to learn yet another program.

· Mobile Vendor

The Mobile Folder is only shown when a user tags this vendor as mobile. Once a vendor is considered mobile, technicians out in the field who are using the Shafer's Mobile Office will be able to view all of the information including the direct link to the vendors web site.
