Inventory Expert for DOS


This utility is now included with the Windows Inventory module, released May 22, 2008 While it is still available as a separate utility for DOS, why not consider spending the extra $300 to get all the features of the full-blown Windows Inventory module?

This outstanding package allows users of the Inventory module to answer any question about any item from one central screen. Questions like:

How many are in warehouse 3?
What did this customer pay for it last time?
How many are on order?
When can I expect them?
How is it shipped?
Can I get a copy of the assembly instructions?
Where’s it located?
What are my yearly averages?

And so much more. In addition to accessing all of the data stored by Inventory, you also have access to the sales history stored by the A/R module and the on order items stored by the PO module. Your staff can quickly find out anything they want to know about an item while your customers can use it as an on-line catalog to search for just what they want--security features allow you to define exactly which data can and cannot be accessed. The program can be run directly from within the Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System via the GoTo function or from the DOS prompt.

Features & Benefits

Accessible From Within The Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System: By using the GoTo window, the Inventory Expert program can easily be accessed. When done, you are returned to the accounting software. When using the TSR mode, Inventory Expert immediately goes to the item currently being accessed within the Roundtable Software Advantage Accounting System. This works similar to the look-ups within the product.

Access Any Information About An Item From One Screen: All of the following information can be accessed directly from the main look-up window of Inventory Expert:

Allocations                    Sales History                   Inventory Audit
Explosions                   Serial Numbers                     References
Warehouses                     PO Detail                     Qty Sold History
Vendors                   FIFO/LIFO Costs                    Discounts
                                Product Categories

Look-Up Items By Number, Group or Description From One Screen: The lookup window allows you to retrieve items by Item Number, Group Number and Description. Move through the list by using the arrow keys, Page Up and Page Down keys, and the Home and End keys. In addition to the key fields, you choose which of the following to display: Selling Price, Current Cost, Location, Quantity on Hand or Quantity Available.

Display Pictures Of Your Items:You can attach a graphic file, in GIF format, to any Inventory item and Inventory Expert can display it for you. Use this to display any image you’d like associated with an item: scanned pictures, schematics or CAD drawings are examples of some of the images our customers display with this feature. Roundtable Software offers photographic, scanning and image conversion services to assist you in developing your graphic file database.

TSR Mode: Have you ever had a customer request information on an item while you were entering an invoice? With the TSR mode of Inventory Expert, you can view item detail without interrupting your work. It even knows what item you are working with and takes you to it automatically. When done, you can have the selected item returned to the program you were in or you can simply go back without the item number.

Built-In Security: You have two levels of security available in Inventory Expert. You can limit access to specific functions and also suppress the display of costs and sales totals. Authorized users can gain unlimited access simply by entering the manager password. With security, Inventory Expert can provide an “on-line catalog” for your customers while preserving complete access for in-house personnel.

Security is provided through a Manager password and the ability to restrict access to specific functions. Authorized users can enter the Manager’s password to gain access to all functions. Once the correct password is entered, that user has unrestricted access to all functions until they quit out of the program.

Inventory Expert provides a Statistics screen which calculates statistical data for each item, such as YTD Average Selling Price, Projected Total Sales, Projected Remaining Sales, Weighted Projected Sales, YTD Profit, Projected Total Profit and many more. The Projected figures are based on the figures in the Item Master; the Weighted Projected figures are based on the Historical Quantity Sold. Both sets of figures are intended to give you a picture of an item’s future sales based on past performance.
