For Sage users who need stock traceability
Serial Tracker’s two main functions are Allocation
and Tracking. You can work with sales orders and invoices to allocate
serial numbers to stock items being sold. You can then search by stock code or
by serial number to locate an item.
Serial Number
Allocation
- Assigns serial numbers to stock items
allocated to sales order
- Assigns serial numbers to stock items in
posted invoices
In the sample screen,
serial numbers are being allocated to each of the 10 Hard Drives on the first
item line.
Serial Tracker maintains a
database of the key elements required for providing fast lookups and historical
data. Serial Tracker can also store
a limited number of serial number batches in the Sage data. This enables the
printing of serial numbers on documents such as picking slips, invoices and
delivery advice notes.
Tracking
You can recall tracking
information by stock code or by serial number.
The sample screen shows
the transaction history for the hard drive stock item that currently has serial
numbers 1 to 10. On this one screen
you can see the *supplier with date of purchase and customer with date of sale
for the identified products.
There are highly effective
links by “drill down” from the
tracking screens to other information stored in Sage Line 50.
These are rapid recall and view of stock activity, customer activity and
supplier activity. For example in the sample screen, double clicking the
customer reference will show the customer activity.

There has always been an issue with codes changing Company ABC changes name
to XYZ and you are left with an account reference that makes no sense.
There are also time when you want to change nominal ledger structures or
radically re-define your product codes.
These re-coding utilities not only change the codes, they also change the
code everywhere it appears in the history, in invoices, on purchases orders and
so on.
We can offer two options for resolving these issues, either a copy of the
software for you to use with your existing data, or a re-coding service, where
we will re-code your data for you.

Host - Remote
We know a thing or two about remote access to systems form our experience
with remote desktop support software, whilst programs like PCAnywhere and VNC
are adequate for short term use, they are not really suitable for long term
daily use. Terminal server offer a good solutions, but requires permanent
links and is hardly inexpensive. Go To My PC is an excellent compromise. Please call if you want to discuss remote
working (tele-working) in more detail and see the additional information here
Host - Remote avoids all these issues and works without leased lines or permanent
connections it is a dedicated solution for Sage Line 50 Invoicing & Stock.
Overview:
Sage Host / Remote allows a remote site
with Sage Line 50 to process sales invoices, entering new customers and stock
items as required. Users at the remote site can maintain their own independent
stock control. On the user’s instruction,
the program will create and transmit a file that updates the head office
with the new sales invoices, stock
and customer information.
Remote
Site:
A local
copy of Sage Line 50 is installed on the Remote Site PC. The Sage data contains
stock and customers that may or may not correspond to stock and customer records
at the host site. Sales invoices are entered at the remote site in the
normal fashion and internal stock control can be implemented for this remote
site if required. New customers and stock are entered as the need arises.
At the end of a day or week or as often as needed, simply
activate the Sage Remote icon from the Sage Line 50 Toolbar or the windows
desktop and use the simple screen shown on the right to effect a transfer of
sales invoices, new customers and stock items to the head office (Sage Host) by
e-mail.
Head Office:
Head Office
operates as normal with all processing; new customers can be added, new stock
etc. On receipt of the e-mail from the remote site, the compressed data
file is saved as an attachment to a predetermined location on the user’s hard
drive. The Sage Host program is started from the icon on the Sage Line 50
toolbar or from the windows desktop and will then validate the entries,
producing a count of invoices, new customers and stock. If there are new
entries, Sage Host will create the required records prior to importing the
invoice files.

Enhanced Bill of Materials handling for Sage Line 50
for Windows
- Not limited to 10 components.
- 'Dismantle', a feature that allows you to break a quantity of a Design
into its raw materials.
- Designs provide free text fields for both 'Design Notes' and 'Design
Instructions'. These fields can be included on reports.
- Design components provide a 30 character general purpose reference field
for each component (e.g. drawing reference) and a free text Comments field.
These can be included on relevant reports.
- Design components can be given both 'consume' and 'yield' quantities. The
'consume' quantity is used when a Design is assembled. The 'yield' quantity
is used when a Design is dismantled. This allows the 'dismantle' feature to
provide for un-recoverable components or even (if a negative yield is used)
a cost of dismantling!
- Designs can be 'cloned', that is a fresh Design can be created based on
the components of an existing design - you just provide the new identity
code and then make any required adjustments to the components.
- Import of Designs from suitable CSV text files.
- Editable Design Explosion reports - these reports show the 'tree' of
components for the Design, plus additional data such as location, quantity
in top, etc.
- Editable Component summary reports - these show the components for a given
quantity of a design. There are report layouts both for direct components
and 'ultimate' components (i.e. raw materials). A common use of this report
style is for producing 'picklists'.
- Editable Construction reports - these show a structured series of lists
presenting the components required at each level of build, from raw
materials, through sub-assemblies to the top level design. These reports can
form the basis for workshop procedures.
- Editable Component usage reports - these show which Designs include a
given component. There are report layouts to show both direct and indirect
usage.
- Trial Kitting (e.g. Can we make 100 of these? What do we need from stores?
What are we short of?), plus associated reports (Picklist, Construction
& Purchase Suggestions).
