How to Establish Hot Keys using Item Classifications
October 25, 2018
1. Inventory Menu > Product Filter Maintenance > Item Classification
2. Management Menu > Assign Item Classifications to Inventory for the Categories that apply: For example
a. Item Classification is FRESHCUT
b. Assign FLOWERS to this Item Classification
3. Establish User Defined Searches:
Management Menu > User Defined Searches
Situation:
You’ve printed out labels, but instead of a bar code, you have a very large font displaying as seen below:
Solution:
The problem is the bar code fonts are not installed on the workstation that tried to print the labels. Any workstation that will be printing out labels with bar codes needs to install the fonts.
To do so, open File Explorer and go to the following folder: C:\WFSData\UserFonts
Inside the folder, you will see 10 files. There is a backup for each font. Any font that has the “A” icon is a font you will install. The others are the backup for that font and may be ignored.
To install a font, right-click on the font. When the content sensitive menu appears, left-click on “Install.”
Install all 5 fonts. You will now be able to print bar codes on labels successfully.

We have just completed a fabulous new SMARTSystem feature for Warehouse Receiving.
This new Warehouse Receiving feature is a new series of programs designed to streamline inventory receiving using the Microsoft Pro 4 Tablet, a wireless tablet. It will give your warehouse staff the ability to receive specific products ordered and quantities.
You can select the Arrival Date and Ship Via to filter specific purchase orders. On the tablet, you can use your finger or stylus to touch OK to select the products ordered on that PO:
Once the OK button is touched, the products ordered on that PO are displayed to be received. Touching the OK button will automatically update the quantity received to quantity ordered. If the quantity is different, just touch the Qty Rec’d cell and a key board will pop-up to enter the actual quantity received:
A deviation report is available to show you the differences between what was ordered and what was received.
This new Receiving process will improve your accuracy and efficiency.

The PO Receiving Worksheet used to receive incoming product shows under each line item the Pre-book products Allocated from the sales order, as illustrated with this example:
To streamline the staging of incoming products for your Pre-book customers a new Sales Label checkbox has been added to the Purchase Order Document Processing screen below. When you check mark the “Print Sales Labels” each Receiving Worksheet will have Sales Labels printed to tag products received for the Pre-book customers allocated to each line of the PO.
Below is the sales label that will be printed to identify which product set aside for your Pre-book customers. The information on this label is obtained from the PO Receiving Worksheet and shows the customer delivery date, sales order number on the first line. The customer name in bold letters on the second line. Your product description on the third line and product code is on the fourth line. Also, on the fourth line is the quantity to set aside based on the unit of measure assigned from the sales order.
Should you have any questions about this feature, please let us know.

Weighted Average Cost (WAC) is a new feature in the SMARTSystem.
WAC sometimes called the moving average is a method used to track the value of inventory under a perpetual inventory system. This method requires that a new weighted average cost is calculated after each purchase. The weighted average cost per unit is the cost of the goods available for sale divided by the number of units available for sale.
This feature can be easily turned on in the System Control Table under Options. See the checkbox to “Use WAC (Weighted Average Cost)” and if you want to include your Open Orders that have not been invoiced there is an additional option “Include Open Orders in WAC Calculation”.
For additional information just let me know and I can email you an Overview.
