Ok i have ran 3 other pos systems and just got RMS what dont understand is
why is it that the Item menu isnt broke in to cases? I mean when you pull a
po it tells you how many units you need to order but doesnt break it down in
to cases? This should be a very simple funtion of the pos software. I
understand that some things come to us in singles but most everything we buy
comes to us in cases is that not the case with everyone else?

Doug, I order most items by the each, but some items I Order by the case,
and sell each OR case. for this I always order cases, set up two different
items, and use the parent/child feature under the special tab. i don't know
if this is what you are looking for, but it worked for me. when i sell down
to 0 of the items, it automatically takes a case out of inventory, and adds
the case quantity to the individual on hand inventory.
hope this helps

I know what you mean Jason but what i have found in the other systems that i
have run is that if you are having a parent /child relationship that is where
you will have inventory problems. Thanks for the reply but i still feel that
Rms is backwards in the way it is setup. For instance like you said you order
some items by the case and you order others by the single. If they had the
case break down from one file it would save the need for two files.

I agree with you Doug, and the Parent/Child function is disfunctional
anyway. There is no way to control your inventory below the full case
amount. In other words, I don't want a full case plus almost a full case on
hand for most of theses items. Most of the time I don't want a case to be
ordered until I'm down to just a couple in inventory and there's no way to
do that with Parent/Child. It's going to order the case as soon as you break
it open.

I didnt even think of that Craig.. That would mean that you are always over
ordering which means the "reorder" points mean nothing. The item menu
should contain the pack size "how many in the case" divided by the cost which
would give you the price each. Then when you order you would get the case and
the po would match the Invoice.
