The following is an overview of POSIM Diamond 4 - Inventory Module

 

 

 

The Item file is the central file in the POSIM database.

This is where you tell POSIM all about the products and services that you sell. Each unique SKU that you sell is identified here.

 

 

 

 

 

The Add Items Screen - provides an easy way to quickly add new items to your inventory,

especially if those items are essentially the same, differing only in color or size.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If your items are serialized, the Serial Number Card keeps track of all serial numbers associated with that specific item.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Vendor file tracks the vendors that you buy from, the items that you buy from that vendor, and a list of orders with each vendor.

 

 

 

 

The Purchase Order Screen - this is where you enter the items you are going to order.

The AUTOMATIC REORDER function makes this a snap, recommending a reorder on SKU's with low inventory.

 

 

The Receiving Log Screen - based on the items that you ordered on this PO, this is where you enter the items you are receiving.

You can even receive by scanning the barcode! If not all pieces in the PO are received at one time, the balance are held as backorders.

In a typical retail environment (where vendors ship partial shipments), there are multiple Receiving Logs associated with one PO.

 

 

 

The Transfer Screen - is used to move inventory in-or-out for non-POS reasons.

This is useful for Vendor Returns or Inventory on loan or consignment.

 

 

Accounting Info - POSIM keeps track of this SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO. POSIM interfaces with many accounting packages.

Account Groups provide even more detail to your accounting package.

 

Physical Inventory - Full or Partial - the easy way

POSIM reports on variances between what you SHOULD have in inventory vs what your physical count found (aka shrinkage)

Works great with our portable barcode scanner

 

 

The OPTIONAL Rental Module - Very easy to use!

 

 

 

 

The main screens in POSIM's Inventory module give you access to the key functions covered above.

 

 

 

 

 

Reports Menu - gives you access to the information that you want...quickly.

POSIM provides all the key reports for a retail environment (sales and profit reports; sales tax; on-hand inventory value; inventory turn and return on investment).

It also gives you the ability to create your own customized reports using it's Define A Report function.

 

 

The Reports menu also gives you the ability to create your own customized reports using it's Define A Report function.

For example, a report with items that have a profit margin below 52%, sorted by vendor

The Misc menu provides additonal access to other functions (like setting up your barcode layout; importing data; web interface; etc.).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rentals Menu--for those who select the Rentals version of POSIM--gives you access to setting up rental items and to rental reports:

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

POSIM offers many options in it's Inventory module set-up--these 'User Controls' allow you to customize the POSIM system so that it suits your own environment.

In addition, POSIM's Passwords function allows you to set the level of access that each of your employees is allowed.
