What should be done in computer system daily

For the Point of Sale to be effective the store's inventory should be entered into the EverywhereBridal/Prom/Retail. This can be done by keying it in or via an excel spreadsheet upload which is done by a spreadsheet for each vendor and category combination. Update inventory with new prices, fees, discontinue dates as needed.

Potential customers will visit your store to shop. The shop's sales consultants will capture as much information about the customer as possible, either verbally or by a card the customer completes, whether a purchase is made or not and that information should be entered into the EverywhereBridal/Prom/Retail's Customer area.

Once the customer decides to purchase, the shop's consultant may enter sales/payment transactions onto the customers sales ticket/ledger. Items may be sold from stock and taken by customer, special ordered or sold from stock and placed in lay-away/pickup. Additional sales and payments are added to the customer's receipt / ledger anytime. Customers will have only one receipt that can hold an unlimited number of transactions.

Events should be created when multiple customers are to be grouped together for easier tracking and management, such as an Wedding event. It is easier to see sales, balances, special order status and lay-away/pickup inventory status for an entire event when the customers are grouped by that event. Existing customers may be easily added to an event whenever needed. Just access the event by event name and see all member information.

Purchase Orders for Special Orders and Stock Orders should be regularly processed and sent to the vendor. Enter confirmation ship dates and numbers once in hand. When orders arrive from the manufacturer, the responsible person within the shop should mark those items received and print a Pickup ID Tag for customer specials. Price tags should be printed for new stock inventory as it is received.

Close your store daily . Run a Daily Report, reconcile your payments to the transactions found within the report. Attach the hard copy daily receipts to the EverywhereBridal/Prom/Retail's daily report along with your bank deposit. This daily paperwork package can then be filed by day, week, month and year. This makes it easily accessible when needed for in house or government auditing.

Run system sales/inventory reports as needed. Reports may be exported to Excel for additional analysis.

EverywhereBridal/Prom/Retail does not require a month end or year end close to be performed. The data is dynamic meaning inventory values, customers deposits/receivable/balances change with each new customer transaction. Often government / tax/ accounting purposes require knowing month end inventory value and/or month end customer balances. For this you should run the appropriate Inventory / Customer Balance reports and SAVE in PDF format or Excel format on the LAST day of each month. You CANNOT retroactively go back and see those inventory value or deposit/receivable for a specific month/year totals once into a new month/year. However Sales and Taxes can be ran for any past date period.

When signing up for the EverywhereBridal/Prom/Retail service you were provided an account, username and password.
