The Bakery Order Processing system will allow a stock file of up to 10000 items split into product groups and is easily maintained using simple functions to add items, change items or delete them. Fast search and browse facilities are available. Each customer record is associated with a standard order for each day of the week. The user has the option of using this as a starting point or entering up an order daily or using the previous week's order. The system provides a fast auto-process option for all customers with a standard order on the system for the current day. After auto-processing the standard orders, a normal process to fine tune the orders takes minutes, thereby reducing mundane processing procedures.

Two methods of processing have been included so that the bakery may provide daily invoices or produce daily delivery notes with weekly invoices. It is also possible to select whether to give discounts per item or discount on the invoice total.

A basic discount is held for each customer, and each stock item may be set to allow or disallow discounts. When the invoices/delivery notes are produced the items that allow discounts are automatically discounted by the value stored on the customer record. If the system is set up for discounts on full orders, separate item discounting is completely switched off.

Adding customers and building standard orders is a simple task and once completed the use of this system will drastically reduce processing time, therefore allowing more time for other tasks.

Adding extra items to an order is as simple as pointing and clicking and then entering a quantity for the selected item.

Orders are entered daily for the following day's deliveries and after initial creation, the orders may be amended, deleted or more items added at any time before the production sheet is processed. Any part of an order can be changed including any of the standard discounts which may be altered to give extra special offers (only when separate items are discounted). Overcharge or undercharge adjustments can be added as special entries. When order books are closed for the day, invoices/delivery notes are printed. Customers' outstanding balances are updated from the invoice information and an option is provided to enter customer payments and mark off paid invoices. At the end of each week the customers' weekly summaries are printed together with a Statement listing all invoices and payments since the last statements were produced and showing their outstanding balances to date.

You are provided with many useful reports to help you run your bakery efficiently, including:-

The Production Sheet, which provides you with an accurate list of products to bake for the following day's deliveries. It is also possible to produce a Production Sheet from the standard orders for up to a week in advance for projected planning and ordering of ingredients. A Packing list can also be produced for use by the bakery packers and delivery personnel to ensure that your customers receive their correct orders. These may be produced for specific stock groups and selected customers and the configuration for these saved to packing files for daily use.

Supplier records may also be stored on the system and a record of all invoices received from suppliers may be kept. This provides the user with a Purchase Ledger combined with Order Processing and Sales Ledger, completely integrated so cutting down repetitive entering of information. Included in the sales and purchase ledger options is a Quarterly VAT report to give you quick access to the information you require when it is most needed.

The Price List, Stock Report and the Packing List are produced in nine product group sections.

The Customer Order Sheet shows all customer information, including all items on their base orders.

The software is fully MENU DRIVEN making it easy to operate for the novice and installation programs are included to enable automatic setup on your hard drive. A tutorial is also available for download, in Word 7 format. This may be downloaded separately to the programs.
