Automated Stock Adjustments - take the hassle out of stock takes
TAS users can now benefit from an automated stock adjustment tool to help streamline their business processes, thanks to MultiTAS from Infoplex - a suite of modestly priced software that enhances TAS BOOKS, bringing flexibility, added functionality and a host of every day benefits - enhancing TAS BOOKS to the level of other packages costing thousands of pounds/euros more. The Stock Management module of MultiTAS has a plethora of tools to enhance the TAS stock ledger, including a Bill of Materials based manufacturing option.
It also forms part of Infoplex's OrderBooks technology which merges Microsoft Outlook, CRM and TAS BOOKS into one powerful enterprise-wide information system at a fraction of the complexity and cost associated with high-end ERP software - giving big business advantages to smaller firms.
Normally, TAS 521 is used to enter stock adjustments, but this can often prove difficult, awkward and error-prone if users have even a modest number of products. In addition, users have to calculate the quantity of the adjustment to make based on the physical stock count.
With the automated stock adjustment capability, users just create a simple two-column spreadsheet of the changes they require. They can opt to use the 'counted quantity' from a stock-take and MultiTAS will save users having to calculate the 'adjustment quantity' - perfect, if using barcode readers to count stock.
Mark Ramsay, Managing Director, Infoplex explained: "The ability to perform automated stock adjustments is a brand new feature within the MultiTAS Stock Management module and is unique to Infoplex. This particular function is a great time saver, especially for those that use barcode scanners which count stock on the scanner, upload onto a computer and then create a file for import to the stock system. They no longer need to calculate each adjustment quantity and post them one by one."
He continued: "Now it is so much quicker and easier to handle the tedious job of posting stock adjustments - you even get a useful preview before committing them to TAS BOOKS."
The MultiTAS Stock Management module also lets TAS users:
- Control stock at multiple locations
- Import/update products and dynamic discounts
- Import/post multiple product code and group changes
- Obtain reports on sales and gap analysis
- Keep track of outstanding purchase orders where goods have been received, but supplier invoices have not
- Handle complex multi-level assemblies, i.e. sub-assemblies, with up to 6 decimal places on item quantities and no limit on the number of items per assembly.
- Process works orders using basic MRP (with links to sales orders), revaluations and assembly builds
