The main purpose of Assisted Sales is to facilitate service and customer relationship through an interface easy to use.
It enables a customized service, based on negotiation, as well as allowing product reservations in any store of the chain. It provides a sales resource in two stages, quotation and payment, also to be used in pre-service before the customer checks out.
Assisted sales operations consist in:
Note: · A Discount Value can be defined for products through the Discount Rules routine. The value defined is applied to the Assisted Sales, and it is viewed through the Disc. Vl. field. · For all countries, but Brazil, the system enables you to perform sales in other currencies, as long as they are set and registered with their respective rates. The detail for this procedure can be checked at Different Currencies. · The MV_LJCABT parameter in Receiving Bills configures whether to subtract the value of deduction bills from the balance of the bill to be received. Thus, with the parameter enabled, the value of the bill to be received is calculated by deducting the deduction bills, such as IRRF, PIS, COFINS and CSLL. · When the parameter MV_LJTPCOM is configured with content equal to 2, it enables the adding of sales representatives by quotation item. For multiple sales representative sales, it must be saved in the Invoice table, to be later used in the report Sales Representative Invoicing. |
Tip:
In Brazil, it is possible to use the Credi-Shop® credit card as payment method using the Dialed EFT option. Transactions are performed by the module provided by Credi-Shop. For further information, access the site: http://www.credishop.com.br. |
This routine enables you to work with the concomitance principle, i. e., by entering or canceling a product item, the receipt can be printed at the same time. This feature is enabled by setting the MV_LJVACC parameter to .T. so that the sale be concomitant.
Important: · To control the net amount received in cash, the MV_LJTRDIN parameter is available. When enabled, this parameter makes the system not store the change amount entered in the Change field. · The Assisted Sales routine provides a file to print the quotation, ORCAM.PRG. In case the company needs another format to print the quotation. |
Store Control also enables a sales transaction to be made separately in stages (quotation) or in a single operation, according to the structure of each store.
The user must be previously identified by password in order to be able to run the options of this routine. The cash register must be also open. If it is not open, a message is displayed to confirm whether the user wants to open the cash register.
The routine update screen displays the following options:
Calculation of Variable Taxes
For all countries, except Brazil, the formula for calculating variable taxes for each country must be registered and configured in the TIO (Type of Inflow and Outflow). Values calculated are saved in the fields L1_BASIMPn, L1_VALIMPn, L2_BASIMPn, L2_VALIMPn, and L2_ALQIMPn, where n is the variable tax index.
Sales of Product Kits
It is possible to perform the sale of product kits both in Assisted Sales and Point of Sales. Sales of product kits speeds up the sales operation, since it enables the selection of several items comprising a product kit.
To do so, you must use the Accessory Register and configure the parameter MV_LOJKIT as .T.
Also in this routine, service orders can be generated at the conclusion of a quotation, from the need of delivering and assembling the items sold. Thus, through Field Service, the client may schedule service orders for delivering and assembling the products. This functionality depends directly on the order generation by the Assisted Sales routine.
After selecting the product, delivery and assembly dates may be suggested according to how the following information is filled out:
The following options are available for delivery:
In the Delivery field, choose a different client from the default client, add a product in the item grid and select the delivery method:
The need for product assembly is identified through the Assembly Date field.
Delivery and assembly dates are calculated by using sale saving date plus the amount of days entered in the respective parameters (in the sum of days, Sunday is not considered).
After filling out both dates, you must assure that the assembly date is not earlier than the delivery date.
To generate the order service, you must have the serial number entered in the sales transaction item.
The number of service orders created follows the MV_LJTPPED parameter, which is responsible for determining the break at the order creation, i. e., it determines that an order be added for each contact entered in the quotation.
In the service order, the occurrence code shows content that must be saved through the following parameters:

Some requirements of Assisted Sales are contemplated in Direct Sales:
Electronic Invoices - Mexico
The Electronic Invoice is the digital representation of a digital receipt (CFD) and it has the same tax due date that a paper invoice has.
The CFD (Digital Receipt) can be generated at end of each sales transaction by users that are not cash register operators. If the cash is tax-related, the CFD is generated in Invoice on Receipt.
The MV_NUMITEN parameter defines the maximum amount of items in the invoice. When the number of items exceeds the content registered in this parameter, more than one invoice, and consequently more than one CFD, are generated.
It enables the generation of on-line accounting entries. |
