In Wholesale Distribution, The Return Is Your Best Opportunity for Sales & Customer Loyalty!

Image
Frequently when speaking with operational managers in Wholesale Distribution, I ask, “What is your most important process to digitalize?” They respond, “The return process.” The distributor’s customers are continually concerned about the urgency of providing much-needed product and don’t want to lose time in sourcing additional orders in fear of lost business.  For the specific case of spare parts, and due to the urgency of repair, when multiple solutions for the repair exist, customers prefer to order all the possible parts to save time, and then return the unneeded parts afterwards. Eventually, excess stock decreases their available treasury on hand and valuable shelf space.  The new generation of wholesale customers do not like to keep materials or parts in stock without immediate use which negatively impacts their cash flow and inventory turnover. Therefore, the return process is still a traditional process, but remains complex, requiring multiple

Ship to Company or to Warehouse?

What’s your business like? And the warehouses? Single warehouse right by the office? Multiple warehouses in various locations? these details are most important when setting the shipping address in purchasing documents. To ensure that the purchased goods arrive to the right place SAP Business One enables you to define whether to user the warehouse address or company address in purchasing documents: When selected, the address of the warehouse that appears in the first line of the purchasing document is automatically set as the “Ship To” address in the document. If this option is not selected, the “Ship To” address is the one defined in Company Details > General tab.

Managing Multiple Open Windows

One of the well-known advantages of SAP Business One is the ability to work with multiple application windows (forms) open at a given time. For example, you can create a sale order while looking at the customer master data and displaying the relevant price list, or review an invoice and it’s respective journal entry side by side. This is very convenient until the screen is too crowded with multiple windows open side by side and on top of each other. To manage efficiently your open windows, SAP Business One provides the following options in the “Window” menu: You can put all the windows in order by choosing “Cascade”. For fresh start, choose “Close All”, and if you want to keep working only with the currently active window choose “Close All But This”. If you want to bring a specific open window forward, you can quickly locate it via the list of open windows at the bottom of the “Window” menu. Click the relevant entry on the list and the respective window becomes the active one.

How Do You Ship? Set Shipping Type

Certain products must be shipped in cold temperature, others are very expensive and require secured shipment, and of course we cannot ignore the VIP customers located in distant or isolated areas – for them we hire delivery services from a specific company… many considerations and sometimes constraints dictate how we receive and ship goods. To comply with the various needs and options, SAP Business One enables you to define shipping types and assign the relevant shipping type to the respective business partner or item: When creating marketing document, the shipping type assigned to the business partner automatically populated in the Logistics tab. When adding items to the document, the shipping type assigned to the items is displayed in the rows, and if no shipping type was assigned, the shipping type defined for the business partner appears by default. If needed, you can change manually the shipping type in line level and document level for the specific document
