Commercials

Automates the delivery of your customer orders with effective stock management

With Sage 200 Commercials you can respond to product and pricing demands quickly and effectively maintain customer loyalty and satisfaction.

Price Book allows you to trade with your customers in a fully flexible way

Unlimited and currency aware price bands for each product can be used along with unlimited discount schemes; pricing ‘communities’ can then be created to link in to them.

Choice of full, rapid, or trade counter order entry

Rapid order entry mode uses standard pricing and delivery addresses, so that orders can be entered with just a few keystrokes. If more information needs to be recorded against the order use full order entry allowing for full flexibility.

Trade counter order entry quickly creates an order, allocates and dispatches stock, generates and prints an invoice in one process.

Full Back-to-Back ordering allows you to run a lean supply chain

You can drill-down from purchase orders to related sales orders and vice versa.

For example, a particular high-value stock item might be supplied back to back from your supplier to your customer, but for flexibility this can be over-ruled at sales order entry.

Suggested Orders

You can automatically compile lists of what you should order, based on shortfall (by warehouse, if necessary) and what’s required for back-to-back orders.

Process foreign currency orders

Enables your customers to place orders with you in their own currency, and all order documentation is produced using the appropriate currency. Exchange rates are controlled by you and applied either at order entry or at the invoicing stage.

Search categories and alternative items

Using the custom search categories for each stock item, products matching customer requirements can easily be located during the sales order entry process. Alternative items can also be instantly called up if the desired item is out of stock.

Margin and discount analysis

Authorised staff can view the margin of a sales order at overall and line item levels, to allow instant price negotiation. In addition the sales order displays realised profit that takes into account any changes to the cost pricing. The discounts applied to a particular item can also be called up – allowing customer queries to be easily answered.

Multi-location stock

This makes it easy to work with stock held in different locations. You can run each location independently in terms of stock levels, purchases and reporting.

Serial or batch numbered items

Control high value items, or other items that require a unique ID with serial numbers. Use batch numbers to track items that need to be purchased, stored and sold in batches.

Units of measure

Buy stock in bulk and sell in smaller quantities, maximising your purchasing power.

Default fulfilment methods

Customer orders for a particular stock item can by default be fulfilled from your own stock, from a supplier via your stock and from a supplier direct to your customer. These defaults can be over-ruled at the point of sale order entry to allow you full flexibility and to manage exceptions.

Stock takes

You are able to run cyclical stock-takes and only on items meeting your chosen criteria, therefore saving you time. Negative items can be recorded, to reflect ‘real world’ operation.
