Welcome back to the NumberCruncher blog! I hope everyone is have a great week! Today I would like to talk about an add on to the All Order's software called All Order Mobile. All Order's mobile extends inventory management into your warehouse. This will allow you to increase your efficiency in the warehouse by decreasing mistakes made. All Orders Mobile by NumberCruncher extends inventory management into your warehouse and lets you take full advantage of barcode label printing within All Orders. To me, this add on really makes our inventory system the best inventory software on the market. Just a little bit of background on myself. I use to manage a warehouse. When I was in that field, we didn't have any bar code scanning or a real time inventory management system like All Orders. Which made my job much more difficult. Adding bar coding to your company will save a lot of headaches going forward. Imagine doing your inventory count's on a hand held device, scanning instead of physically counting. I would of gave anything for this system! Now let's talk about All Orders Mobile.

All Orders Mobile by NumberCruncher will make your warehouse operations more efficient! All Orders Mobile is installed on Windows based devices. It can connect wirelessly to your All Orders database and download sales orders to be picked, purchase orders to be received and counts. Once a sales order is picked the picking information will be uploaded in real time back to the All Orders database an automatically create a Ship Doc. Similarly, once a purchase order is received through All Orders Mobile, the information will be uploaded to All Orders and a Reciever will automatically be created. Finally, All Orders Mobile will update your count in All Orders with new quantities.

• Pick Sales Orders
• Receive Purchase Orders
• Perform Inventory Counts
• Find Location/Bins of Inventory
• Move Bins
• Adjust Inventory
• Transfer inventory.

Well that is all for today! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Make sure to contact us if you have and Questions. support@numbercruncher.com or call us @ 866-278-6243.

Hello, and welcome back to the NumberCruncher Blog! Hope all of you are doing well and you business is thriving! Today I would like to continue to talk about a feature in All Order's called Consignments. I left you guy's hanging last week and only show you how to ship those item's to the customer from the consignment. Today, I am going to tell you how to get some of those item's that didn't sell back in stock from the consignment screen.

So you have sent out those item's now it's time to get some of those back. You will want to create a brand new consignment. Enter the same customer you shipped those item's to. Before I had you enter in the QTY you wanted to ship to the customer in the Ship Doc column. This time you will update the QTY you would like to receive back into All Order's. You can do that by entering the QTY into the Return Column. Once you have entered the necessary qty to be returned, go ahead and go to Activities - Finalize. This will create received doc's for those item's. This process is very similar to what we did last week.

Well, that is all for today. I hope you guy's have a great week! Remember if you have any questions, head over to our website. As always you can always e-mail customer support at support@numbercruncher.com or call us (866) 278-6243.

Hello, and welcome back to the NumberCruncher Blog! Hope all of you are doing well and you business is thriving! Today I would like to talk about a feature in All Order's called Consignments. You might be asking yourself "What is a Consignment?" Consignment is the act of consigning, the act of giving over to another person or agent's charge, custody or care any material or goods but retaining legal ownership until the material or goods are sold. 

We have a perfect feature in our system for this. To start a new consignment, go to Sales - New Consignment. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Before we get that started, you will want to make sure you set up the default location for the specific customer. You can do that by going to the customer screen, clicking the Shipping Info tab, and selecting that default location. You will want to make sure you set that location to the location where your quantity is. The reason why you have to set that up before is because only those customers with the default location set will appear in the drop down. Ok, back to the consignment. Once you add a customer and a location, all the items in that location will populate. You can use the filter tab to filter for a specific item on the list. This is where you will be able to pick and choose what item to send and how much QTY to send. You will enter this info under the ship doc column. Once you have selected that information, we can go ahead and go to Activities - Finalize. Now a Ship Doc will be created for that customer for those items. Next week, I will talk about how to get those item's that didn't sell back from that customer. Stay tuned!

Well, that is all for today. I hope you guy's have a great weekend! Remember if you have any questions, head over to our website. As always you can always e-mail customer support at support@numbercruncher.com or call us (866) 278-6243.

Hello, and welcome back to the NumberCruncher Blog! I hope you guy's enjoyed some of those articles about our fantastic program, All Orders. If you haven't checked those out yet and are still on the fence about making the switch to All Orders, make sure you scroll to the previous blog post!

For today's post, I will be addressing Lot/Serial #'s. Tracking Lot and Serial #'s allows you to specifically track the movement of a particular item within your inventory. A lot of companies in the food industry and electronics will use Lot and Serial #'s. Normally, you wouldn't be able to differentiate between an item that was purchased a year ago and an identical item that was purchased 2 days ago. That's why its important to assign your items with a Lot or Serial number, so you can effectively track that item's movement. Another great thing about Lot/Serial #'s is that it will allow you to also track expiration dates.

In order to enable Lot/Serial #'s in All Orders, proceed to the Item Editor and select the "other" tab. You will see a check box "This item has lots or serial numbers. Make sure that is checked to assign a lot number to it. If you already have some Lot or serial numbers for items, but they are not in All Orders, you can use our LotSerialNumber.xls import sheet to get them into the system. You can find all our import sheets by following this patch in your machine: C:\Program Files\NumberCruncher\All Orders\Import. These are some of the very basic's of the Lot/Serial # feature in All Orders. In future blog post's I will be diving deeper into some of the basic features in All Order's.

Well, that is all for today. I hope you guy's have a great weekend! Remember if you have any questions, head over to our website. As always you can always e-mail customer support at support@numbercruncher.com or call us (866) 278-6243.

Hey guy's! Welcome to the NumberCruncher Blog, Thursday Edition! Firstly, Happy Holidays from NumberCruncher team! We hope you and your employees have a great holiday weekend and spend some quality time with your families! Now, in my past 2 blogs we focused on Locations. Now we are going to focus on features within the locations, Bins.

Within the all orders program, we have a unique feature called Bins. This allows you to create a location within locations, allowing you to easily pinpoint the location of the item. If you have a huge warehouse with multiple aisles of product, this would be a key feature for you. A bin does not have to be a physical bin. A bin can be any place of storage, from an actual bin to a shelf or a crate.

For each item that is a Part or an Assembly you can specify a default bin.

When you add items to inventory (Receiving Purchase orders, completing a Work Order) the qty will automatically go into the designated bin. If you leave this area blank, it will go into the default bin. You can change which bin an item is either added to or pulled from on any transaction. You can also split qty between multiple bins in the same location. From the line item of a transaction, click details icon then click bins. Click in any column to enter in the desired bin, and then enter the quantity.

On a transaction where the qty is being decreased aka ship doc and you are not sure which bin the product is on you can click “get available” that will bring up a dialog box.

The bin feature is very useful for your warehouse staff, so make sure you take advantage of the easy to use feature within All Orders. Well, I hope you have learned something from this blog post and again I hope your company can run a little bit smoother. As I always mention, make sure you check out all our support tutorials. Remember if you have any questions or concern's the NumberCruncher is here for you. Please give our customer support line a call - (866) 278-6243. You can send us an email also - support@numbercruncher.com. Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog! Well it's been another great week here in the NumberCruncher office! We hope your company had a great week as well. As you know it's Friday, time for another blog update!  Today I will be talking about how to Perform a Location Transfer.

This feature is used when a business operates from multiple locations. From time to time your company may need to transfer Inventory to and from locations. This is sort of like a Shipping doc only you are the sender and the recipient.

To Create a Location Transfer, select the Warehouse Menu and then select New Location Transfer. Another way of doing this is from your company home screen, Select Location Transfer.

First step is to choose the Location you are shipping from. After that is selected you can now select the location you are shipping to. You can use the “Activate From” and “Activate To” to specify a location for entering Item specific info, such as bins or lot/serial #.

You can now select the items you will be transferring; you must enter in an accurate quantity amount. Only those items in stock will appear in the drop down list. Next, select your shipping method, a ship doc (if applicable), Number of packages, and the total weight.

Just one more step before we can save this location transfer, you must put in the transaction date (if other than today). After those steps are complete, you can now finish by clicking he save button. You can print the transfer log or even email it.

That is how you will typically perform a Location Transfer within the All Orders program. As always, I invite you to check out some of our video tutorials. If you are new to the program, they will give you the jump start needed to begin using All Orders. Make sure you check them out! If you are having some issues or just have question's about anything related to Location Transfers or All Orders in general, please give our customer support line a call - (866) 278-6243. You can send us an email also - support@numbercruncher.com. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Enjoy!

Hey Guy's! Happy Friday! Hope everyone had an outstanding week! Firstly, welcome back to the NumberCruncher blog. Before we get into our next blog topic, take a second and head over to the NEW NumberCruncher website. We redesigned it and we think it looks great. Tell us what you think about it in the comments below! Thanks for taking a look!

Ok, so lets talk little about Locations.

A Location can be anything you store inventory in. An example of a location may be your main warehouse or another warehouse located in a different state. It also may be a customer that you drop ship to.

You can access the Location tab either from the company home screen or Warehouse – New Location. This will allow you to add new facility locations as needed.  All you have to do is enter a Location name and then specify whether you would like it to be listed as available.

The first tab you will see is “The address Information tab” this is pretty much self explanatory, this is the address of the location. If it is a customer, say for a drop ship, you can copy the customers or vendors address by click the Copy from Customer or Copy from Vendor. That will bring up a menu where you can select the customer and its address.

The next tab is called Bins. This allows you to create a location within a location. This will help out your shippers while they are picking the product. You can place the bin number on the pick ticket so they know exactly where the item is located within your warehouse. This doesn’t have to be a physical bin it could be and place where the product is being stored. To add a new bin, click the line below Default. Next, type in the name of the bin of your choice. You can now select if the bin is available or you can mark if this is your default bin.

If you need to delete a bin, all you have to do is click the delete button.

Save an close and you are finished.

That pretty much sum's up Locations. I hope this helped your company understand Locations a bit better. As always, I invite you to check out some of our video tutorials. They are a great help to new comers to All Orders. Make sure you check them out. Of course if you have some issues or question's about anything related to Locations or All Orders in general, please give our customer support line a call - (866) 278-6243. You can send us an email also - support@numbercruncher.com. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Enjoy!
