  • Credit Request – is a process used by sales staff to identify customers that want a credit on product invoiced to them in the SMARTSystem.  This process allows a document to be created and given to the customer in exchange for the returned product. A sales manager or supervisor approves the credit request and the next SMARTSystem End-of-Day processing will convert the Credit Request into a Credit Memo for the customer.

  3. Enter credit request quantity to adjust. If this quantity is to be returned to inventory, enter it in the field above.
  4. In this example, the entire amount of product sold is entered in the Quantity Adjusted for 25 units.

Credit on a Sales Order, How to Enter

To indicate a credit on a Customer Sales Order,  highlight the Other Charges field and enter a minus (-), it will give you a “Warning” message. Just click OK.

Then enter the amount of the credit in the Other Charges field. Enter “Store Credit” into the Other Charges Comments field. The reason for the warning is to alert the salesperson to make sure the sales order does not go negative.  Going negative will cause a problem and it’s the salesperson’s responsibility to avoid that scenario.

How Do I Quickly Change the Delivery Date for Standing Orders Scheduled For a Specific Day?

Prior to processing the standing orders, change the “Delivery Date” to the desired date.

Now you may process the orders.

If you processed the orders prior to changing the delivery date, you will need to manually correct the delivery date on those orders.

 

 

Invoices are printing (or emailing) out huge, cutting off the right side of the document

This will happen on some operating systems if you have the display settings set for any size larger than 100%.

To change these settings in Windows 10, do the following:

Click on the Windows icon and then click on the Settings icon:

 

Then click on System > Display and you’ll find an option for Scale and layout  Make sure it’s set to 100%.

 

Windows 10 may also be changing your printers on you.  It will default to the last printer used unless the setting is turned off.  To turn the setting off, click on the Windows icon, then the Settings icon.  Select Devices.  Make sure you are in the section “Printers & scanners”  Disable the setting “Let Windows manage my default printer” by setting it to “Off”.

 

If using Windows 7, you’ll do the following to set the display settings:

Click on the “Start” button, select Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display.  Be sure the setting is for Smaller – 100%.  Be sure to “Apply” the setting.  You’ll be prompted to log off to apply the settings.

 

This will resolve the invoice being too large for it to fit on a standard 8.5 x 11 page.

If for some reason, the issue continues, the drivers (software) for the printer may be incorrect.  Have your IT person verify the proper drivers have been installed on your computer for the printer.
