ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º MASS RETAIL SALES OPERATIONS MANUAL º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ º FOR SHAREWARE DISK º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ INITIAL SETUP & INSTALLATION ---------------------------- MASS must be run from a hard disk on a computer system with at least 640k of RAM. The printer should be a dot matrix or laser printer with standard IBM or Epson dot matrix printer code acceptance. (Refer to your printer manual for dip switch settings that can make your printer compatible with one of these two standards.) The program was designed to run on a color monitor, but it should also work on most monochrome monitors that are driven by a hercules graphics card. If you want your sales receipts to be on smaller paper, you must have a 40 column printer equivalent to the Star Micronics receipt printer. You will need about 1 MB of free space on your hard drive to initially install MASS, however, depending on the number of customers, invoices, and inventory items that you enter into the databases will ultimately determine how much hard drive space you will actually need to run MASS on your computer. Also, as you will learn, MASS makes a new set of data files each month when you do the monthly closeout. This takes up additional space, but you'll find this is a valuable tool in tracking monthly transactions and for providing an alternate backup to the one you will be making on floppy disks. Before you actually install MASS on to your computer's hard drive, you should first make a back-up copy that can be used as your "working copy" by using the DOS diskcopy command. (You can also use the original set of disks to make copies for friends then later on.) Second, using your working copy of MASS, Version 15, put Disk 1 into a floppy drive, then at the drive's DOS prompt type INSTALL A: C: (or D:) and press the Enter (Return) key. This will place the program into a subdirectory called MASS15 on your hard drive (the C: or D: drive). Note: If you want to install MASS Version 15 on another hard drive (other than the C: or D: drive), the install batch file will not work properly for creating the MASS startup file for the root of your C: drive. In this case you will have to create your own batch file or edit the MASS.BAT file that you'll find in the root directory of the C: drive. Change the D: in this file to the drive where you installed MASS. Refer to your DOS manual on how to edit or make one of these.

The data files come with sample data already in them so that you can print reports and see how the program works. Before you actually start using the program for your business, you should go into U)tilities, select O to change program settings, then 6 to create empty data files. Empty all the data files so that none of the sample data mixes with the actual data you will be entering for your own business. COMPANY INFORMATION ------------------- If this is the first time that you've loaded the program it will display the Shareware message screen and then ask you information about your company or business, such as: 1. Your company's name, address and phone number. 2. A comment to appear with your company's address. 3. A slogan about your business (if you have one). 4. Selection for a thank you message on sales receipts. 5. Selection of standard size or 40 column sized receipts. 6. Your state's sales tax percentage. 7. Sales tax tracking based on when invoiced or when payed. Don't worry if you make a mistake entering this information, since it can be edited in the Utility Programs (that will be described later). Once the program starts, it will ask you if the system date is correct. It is important to ensure that it is since much of the sales data, such as invoicing and receipt of payments, is date dependent. The program offers a monthly payment plan (of six months) and service charges if payments are late, so it is important that you enter the date here that represents the date of the transactions that you will be entering into the system's databases. After the initial startup, the shareware message will only be displayed when you enter the utility programs to edit your company information.

I)nventory allows you to enter, edit and print reports on your product inventory. P)ayment lets you enter pay- ments on open invoices, print customer activity and do some marketing activities. R)eports is general customer info, letters and labels, and weekly sales reports. U)tilities allows you to backup and restore your data files, a fix your data files routine, customer and invoice editing and purging (deleting) routines, a way to change your program settings, and a program for editing your company information. M)onthly is the routine you must run at the end of each month to prepare your data files for the next month's transactions. And finally, Q)uit is what it appears to be. It stops the program, closes the databases and takes you back to DOS. You can either press the letter of the selection you want to go to, such as I or i to go into the inventory programs, or you can use the left and right arrow keys to move to the selection of your choice and then press Enter (Return) to execute that option. The program relies on six fields of data to inter-relate the data- bases and to find the appropriate records. These are; the customer name and phone number which you must enter, the customer number which the program automatically generates, the invoice number which the program automatically generates, and the department number and stock number which you must enter for each inventory item your business maintains. Thus, four of the fields are your responsibility to enter correctly. Since no one is perfect, the editing routines in the U)tility programs are provided to correct your mistakes. If at any time the program fails to find a record that you're sure you've entered, go to U)tilities, then F. This will check for file damage, delete damaged records and rebuild indeces. You may have to re-enter some transactions if the files were actually damaged. To check, go to R)eports, then G, E.

C)ash ----- This is the cash register programs. When you select C)ash, you can then press: N for entering a new sale, E for editing a sale (that has already been entered), R to re-print a sales receipt (that may have jammed in the printer or had to be edited), V to view an invoice on screen (in case the customer questions what was charged to him or her on a particular invoice), or S to stop and return to the Main Menu. Now all of these are essentially self-explanatory, however, if you choose N for entering a new sale, you will then be permitted to: Generate a sales receipt - 1. With the customer's name and address (which you must use if the customer will be making payments or you want to track the customer using the marketing programs) 2. Without customer information (just a general over the counter sale) Or balance the - 3. Cash register drawer (to set the beginning total for the day and to see if the ending balance matches the daily sales figure) Selecting either 1 or 2 above will take you into the cash register program that allows you to generate a sales receipt based on the purchases that the customer has made. If 1 was chosen, it will also check the customer database to see if this is a new customer. If it is, it will then add this customer to the database. If it isn't, it will simply edit the current customer record. It will also ask if the items are to be sent to a shipping address different from the customer's address. This will be helpful to you, especially if some of your sales are mail order. If 2 was chosen, the program will simply lump the year to date sales figures into a customer record with the name "OTC Sales", customer number of "CASH", and phone number "999-999-9999".

This will be helpful to see who is generating the sales for you or to also be able to pay a sales commission to your personnel based on the total dollar figure of the sales they've made for the month. Once you get past the Clerk entry, the program then really gets into generating the customer sale. It first allows entry of up to 10 different items and automatically pulls the description and price of each item from your inventory records (if they are stocked items). Otherwise, you can enter the description and price in manually to get it on the sales receipt. You also have the option of looking up the item from your inventory records. What this means is if you say "Yes" that you want to look for the item, the program will display a window showing a list of stock numbers and item descriptions. At this window you can press the "PgDn" key to see more items (if they exist) or if you've already paged down and want to go back, press the "PgUp" key. If you see the item on the list, use the up and down arrow keys to move the curser until the item is highlighted. Then press the Enter (Return) key and the item will be inserted into your sales list. If you don't find the item during the lookup, press the "End" key and it will take you back to sales list and allow you to manually enter the description and price. Note, if you've departmentalized your inventory and only want to look up that department, make sure you enter the 2 digit depart- ment number before you do the lookup option. Then rather than paging down through ALL of your inventory items when the lookup window appears, it will only list those items in the designated department. After entering the items, the program wants to know if the entries made are correct. If not, simply press 'N' and the program will go back through the items line by line to allow you to make corrections. It will then ask if it is a Standard or Discount sale. If you press 'S', the prices will remain the same. If you press 'D', it will ask for the discount percentage and then automatically reduce all the prices for the listed items by that amount. A note will also appear on the sales receipt, indicating how much the items were discounted.

This is kept for historical purposes and to prompt you for credit card information if it is a charge (C) transaction and credit card data is not in the customer's record. Next you will be asked if it is a taxable sale. If you enter 'N' it will not calculate any tax. If you enter 'Y', it will ask if the full amount of the sale is taxable. If it is, simply press 'Y' and tax will automatically be added on the full amount of the sale at the per- centage rate that you entered in your company information. If you enter 'N', it will ask you to enter the amount that is taxable. This will permit you to enter service charges, such as delivery or labor which is usually non-taxable, on the same invoice as your inventory sales which in most states is taxable. The program will then display the sales totals and ask how much payment the customer is giving. If it is a partial payment, then the program is set up to spread the final payments out over a 6 month period. If it is for the exact amount, then a regular sales receipt can be printed. If it is more the the total sale price, the amount of change to be given to the customer will be calculated and displayed on the screen and printed on the receipt. I)nventory ---------- This is the stock inventory programs. When you select I)nventory, you can then press: A to add an item to the inventory system, E to edit an inventory record, M to print a sales manual list (doesn't show your costs), U to update inventory records when receiving stock, R to print a list of items that need to be re-stocked, P to print a current list of items (shows your costs), F to print finance data (prints list of all items currently in stock and lists their value at cost and at retail), L to print stock labels, or S to stop and return to the Main Menu.

When you select P)ayment, you can then press: E to enter customer full or partial payments, P to print a customer's activity (in the current month), L to print "late" invoices (with a service charge applied), C for customer statements (prints all open invoices on one statement as a reminder to a customer to send payment), M for customer marketing routines, or S to stop and return to the Main Menu. R)eports -------- This is the report programs. When you select R)eports, you can then press: G for general customer information or transaction reports, I for sales information reports, L for customer address labels, W for weekly billing/bar chart printouts, E to edit and print letters to customers, O to list all open invoices, or S to stop and return to the Main Menu. If you press G, you can then get printouts of the following: A. All key data on all customer's, B. Address list of all customer's, C. Quick lookup list of customer's, D. List of selected customer's (based on area code, zip code, or dollar amount of Y-T-D invoicing), or E. Transaction Register (of current file generation number). If you press I, you can then: A. Printout state sales tax data, or B. Printout Sales Clerk total's (volume of sales per Clerk in the current month).

Labels for all customers in database, or B. Labels for selected customers (based on dollar amount, zip code, or invoice # range). If you press W, you can then: A. Printout a weekly performance report, B. Printout a performance bar chart, or C. Edit the bar chart data. (Note: The bar chart data is automatically updated if the weekly performance report is run at the end of each week, otherwise the bar chart data will have to entered manually through the edit selection.) If you press E, you can then: A. Edit a single page letter, B. Edit a double page letter, or C. Print the edited letter to the customers in your database. If you press O, you can then: A. Printout a list of customers with open invoices, or B. Printout a list of customers that have been sent to collection. Note: ----- You can generate your own specialized reports should you own a database program that is compatible with Ashton-Tate's dBase, such as dBase III or IV, DBXL, Foxbase, etc., since the data files that MASS builds are dBase compatible. The only thing you have to be careful of is to get the right file for the right month. That is, a file generation number is used to store the data for each month and increments by 1 each month you do a closeout. You can then copy these files off for historical recordkeeping or erase them. For file descriptions, select U)tilities, then O, then 1.

M)onthly -------- This is the monthly closeout program. You should print the Clerk Sales Report and make a backup of the data files before running this program. When you select M)onthly, it builds a new set of data files for the new month and carries forward customer and open invoice data for processing in the new month. During this program, it will also ask you if it is the end of the quarter and end of the year, which then sets it to perform quarterly reports or year end closeout functions as is necessary. It also prints a list of transactions for the month, and a summary report that can be used to enter receivables information into a separate accounting package. Q)uit ----- This is how to exit MASS. When you select Q)uit, it closes all data files and exits to DOS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 9 of 11 ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º MASS RETAIL SALES OPERATIONS MANUAL º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ º FOR SHAREWARE DISK º ÈÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍËÍÍÍÍͼ º Cont'd º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ TECHNICAL SUPPORT ----------------- MASS Retail Sales is a shareware product.
