Supplies of resources

The "Supplies" functionality from the "Resources" submenu in the "Staff" menu is used to accept resource deliveries and approve interbranch transfers. After selecting this functionality, a list of resource types is displayed, with a "Choose" button next to each one.

To start handling deliveries, click the "Choose" button next to the type of resources. The delivery search engine will then be displayed, allowing you to search for deliveries already received and for interstore transfers awaiting acceptance. A button to accept a new delivery is also available under the search engine.

To accept a new delivery, click the "New supply" button below the search engine. A delivery form will then be displayed in which you must enter the delivery details and the delivered batch of resources. By default, the form displays one row of fields for entering one batch of resources. If the delivery includes more batches of resources, use the "More resources" button - each click will display the next line to enter the next batch of resources. When entering the net purchase price of a resource, the net value, gross price and gross value are calculated automatically, similarly when entering the gross price, the net price, net value and gross value are calculated automatically. The value of the "TOTAL" field - total gross purchase amount - is updated on an on-going basis.

After completing the form, save the data by clicking the "Add" button. The delivery accepted in this way receives the status of approved and the resources contained in it increase the stock level. The following buttons can appear in the delivery search results for deliveries:

  • Edit - a button for modifying delivery data (available only for deliveries that are not a consequence of the interstore transfer whose resources have not yet been used in any way)
  • Delete - a button for deleting a delivery (available only for deliveries that are not a consequence of the interbranch transfer and whose resources have not yet been used in any way)
  • Approve - a button to confirm delivery (available only for unapproved deliveries resulting from interbranch transfers)
  • Resign - a button for returning a delivery to the source store (available only for unapproved deliveries resulting from interbranch transfers)
  • Details - a button for viewing delivery data
