In This Chapter

• Getting Started
• Knowing Where You Are
• Customizing Column Header

Getting Started

To start GoneClear StoreFront, double-click the icon shown in Figure 1-1

Figure 1-1: Starting GoneClear StoreFront, and logging in.

The first screen that you see is the login window where you enter your user name and password.
A user name and a password must be entered in order to log into the company database. For audit purposes, user information is recorded in every new record or modification to an existing record that a user performs.

NOTE: User setup: User names are created for the employees that will log into GoneClear StoreFront. Each user must be assigned a valid license and the user’s activities are restricted based on the license type.

Knowing Where You Are

One powerful aspect of GoneClear StoreFront is that it is possible to have many windows open at once, each of which may show a different document or master data record.

The Main Window

The main window opens automatically upon launching GoneClear StoreFront and is the central place where you can initiate any task. Only the main window has a Ribbon along the top.

Figure 1-2: Main Window.

Toolbar and Ribbon

The GonClear StoreFront toolbar is displayed across the top of the main window. Clicking on each tool item will show the ribbons that lead to more choices.

Figure 1-3: Toolbar and Ribbons.

The Ribbon is just below the toolbar. It is a collection of buttons that provide access to more choices. Active buttons display in color while inactive or unauthorized buttons appear in gray. To display the Ribbon, place your cursor on the toolbar and click one of the tabs. If you forget what a particular button does, move the cursor over the button to display a tooltip.

Quick Access Tool bar

To minimize or hide the Ribbon, position your cursor over the quick access Toolbar and right-click to see the Options menu. Choose the option "Minimize Ribbon."

Figure 1-4: Quick Access Toolbar.

The Status Bar

The status bar runs along the bottom of the GoneClear StoreFront main window and includes several fields.

• The bottom left-hand side displays the version of GoneClear StoreFront, the user who signed in, the computer station's name in
• The bottom left-hand side will also display when a user is in "sales mode."

Figure 1-5: Status Bar.

Windows and Panel

Now that you've got a big picture of the main window, it's time to explain other window modes.

A new window will open by clicking on an active Ribbon. All windows would include the exit button to exit the active window. As mentioned earlier in this guide, it is possible to have many windows open at once.

NOTE: Windows may have sub-windows to display further options (Same windows will not open twice.)

Several windows have a panel that gives access to more choices within the active window.

NOTE: Select the "Hide Panel" icon to hide the panel.

Figure 1-6: Windows and Panel.

Window Operation Modes

There are three possible window operation modes in GoneClear StoreFront:

• Add: Add a new record or document
• View: View an existing record or document
• Update: Modify the data of a current record or document

Customizing Column Header

Users can easily customize the way information is displayed within any of the panels.

• Users can reorder the columns by clicking and dragging the column headers to new locations.

For example, if you want to display the supplier column first, click and drag the supplier header to the first column. See figure 2-5:

Figure 1-7: Rearrange columns.

• Users can apply filters to one or more column headers.

Hover over a column header and then click the filter icon located in the upper-right corner. For example:

Figure 1-8: Rearrange columns

• Use the filter menu to select which of the values currently in the column should be displayed. When you add a column filter, the description of the filter will be seen below the panel. You may use this to validate which column filters have been added to the current view and you may adjust the filter. For example:

Figure 1-9: Edit and Remove filter

One expandable list will be created for each possible column value. If you perform this action on any subsequent columns, that data will be presented as nested groups at increasingly lower levels within the expandable lists. If Group By Box is enabled, this will also create a "Group By" box in the area immediately above the column headers. Note: To turn off the Group By This Column feature and revert to the original view: Enable Group By Box, drag the Group By boxes back to the column header. Note: To turn off the Group By This Column feature and revert to the original view: Enable Group By Box, drag the Group By boxes back to the column header.

One "Group By" box will be displayed for each column header for which Group By This Column is currently enabled. You can also drag column headers to and from this area. The table will be grouped according to the data in the box. If there are two or more boxes then the grouping will be nested, with the left-most box presented at the highest level, the second box presented at the second level, etc.
Column Chooser	Enables you to add and hide information within a table. When you select Column Chooser the Customization dialog is displayed. This dialog is used to store the columns you don't currently want displayed within the table. Simply click and drag the desired column headers from the table to the Customization dialog. For example, if you decide NOTE: Column Chooser will not work on panels.

View inventory

Since we have an idea of what a window is and how it functions. Let's go into the inventory data window for view inventory. Users can check for an item in this window to obtain more details about that specific item, whether it be product updates, prices, etc. Furthermore, a user can quickly add a new item to inventory using this window.

Inventory Data Window

To open Inventory Data window, click the view inventory ribbon shown in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2: View inventory Ribbon and Inventory Data Window.

The Inventory Data window allows users to:

• Search for an item
• View item details
• Add an item
• View order information from manufacture
• Set Packaging size and weight
• View Price and Cost of Item
• Add as Assembly
• Add as a companion
• View Changes to item
• Search Serial Number for item
• View UPCs
• View deliveries for item

The inventory data consist of 5 forms. Below are figures of these forms and a brief description of its functions

Figure 2-3

Figure 2-3: Information about the item is displayed in this section of the inventory data windows. This is a read-only display, so users can not make modifications to the item here.

Figure 2-4

Figure 2-4: This window contains sub tabs in a form with additional information. More on each of these tabs and their functions will be discussed later in this Guide.

Figure 2-5

Figure 2-5: The inventory options form is used to save and display updates, insert a new item and exit inventory data window. These function will be further discuss later in this Guide.

Figure 2-6

Figure 2-6: Local history form is used to view products transferred and pending orders within and for sales of the company. These function will be further discuss later in this guide.

Figure 2-7

Figure 2-7: Picture Options form allows you to add and remove an item image. This function and how it works will be discussed later in this guide.

Search For An Item

It can be very difficult to search for a specific item, particularly if there are thousands of items in the inventory list. The GoneClear StoreFront makes it easier to search for item in the inventory database that is available or discontinued. Furthermore, reports from the data table may be sorted and grouped according to your wishes. (See section 1.3 Customizing Column Header for sorting and grouping)

To search for an item move your cursor over the inventory search panel

Figure 2-8: Inventory Search Panel

GoneClear StoreFront provides several avenues to search an item such:

• Stock Number Search
• Catalog Start and Catalog End Code
• Item Name
• Manufacturer
• Supplier
• Department

Figure 2-9: Search item and Search Results Table

Double click on the item you want to view. Item information will be displayed in the inventory data window.

NOTE: There is another method to search for an item that is discussed later on. This search method is called live data searches. The other approach is delayed by around 20 seconds.

Adding a New Item to Inventory.

1. From the tab inside GoneClear StoreFront navigate to: Inventory > view inventory.
2. The Inventory Data window will open navigate to: inventory options>new item. ("New inventory creation” window will open)

Figure 2-10: Inventory Options and New Inventory Creation Table

New Stock Number form: input the stock number of the item, the name of the item and the description, then select the catalog code and the packaging code from the drop-down menu.

Figure 2-11: New Stock Number

Inventory Item Codes: select from the drop-down menu the supplier,manufacturer, department, restricted location for item, inventory and promo codes.

NOTE: To see context, click on each of those field names. Furthermore, in this scenario, an "inventory" is chosen if the product is for sale, in-house or manufactured by the company. S is for selling, C is for consumption, M is for manufacture.

Figure 2-12: Inventory Item codes

Discount/Reducible Options: users can add a discount to the item with its limit and indicate whether the item is reducible.

Figure 2-13: Discount/Reducible Options

Item details

In the item details section, users are not restricted to the information display of the items, but to making quick adjustments to the items. That is, of course, whether the user has the license right to do so. Let's take a brief peek at what's seen in this pane.

Figure 2-19: Item Details

Let’s discuss each segment of the item detail tab. First of all, a simple view of the current stock number, item name and item summary is given. This section allows licensed rights users to easily modify these areas

Note: Remembering that the Item Details is an Inventory Data subsection, users who have made changes from Item Details have to click on the Save button in the Inventory options form to update the changes.

Figure 2-20: Item Details Stock form and update changes.

Item inventory codes on Item Details window display manufacturer, supplier, category, department, inventory type, promotion and item location restricted. Again, modifying an item in these areas is often a quick method, if users have licenses to do so.

Packaging

GoneClear StoreFront's capacity to store the dimensions, weight and cube of a package is another aspect that makes it such reliable, unique POS software. If correctly implemented, this function can be very useful when making several deliveries to customers and/or ordering several supplier products since it will be easy to calculate how many different items of different measurements can fit in a truck.

Dimensions: Enter the length, width and height of the package and the cube will automatically calculate. Then enter the gross weight and net weight in the weight per unit in pounds form.

Remember to always save after any updates have been made

Figure 2-42: Serial Numbers window

Warranty Options: If the item has a warranty on it, the warranty options are set. User would indicate whether a serial number is required and the number of days for warranty .

Warranty Options

UPC window in Inventory Data

Another valuable tool in the GoneClear StoreFront is our UPC function. Many different UPC codes may be applied to one stock number. This is quite useful if the identical item has different UPCs for each item. For Example, if the business purchased 2 box of the same item and both package have different UPCs. The user would not need to add an extra stock number, but may add both under one stock number. This minimizes the chance of overloading the program with excessive stock numbers.

Terminologies	Definitions
UPC	A UPC, short for universal product code, is a type of code printed on retail product packaging to help identify an item. It consists of two parts — the machine-readable barcode, a sequence of unique black bars, and the unique 12-digit number beneath.

Figure 2-43: UPC window

UPC Utilities Ribbon

The UPC Utilities Ribbon provides a broad range of options for users utilizing UPCs. Depending on the licensed user, users can scan a UPC code to verify retail price, confirm UPC, display the company purchasing price of the scanned item, take stock and do quick transfer (This transfer method is typically used to quickly correct the stock). Users can also scan orders and shipments here.

Below is a UPC Utility Startup window that opens after clicking UPC Utilities Ribbon.

Figure 2-43: UPC Utility Startup Window

UPC Utilities Ribbon- Price Check

See the first button, "Price Check." Price check is very straightforward, enabling users to scan UPC code and see item selling price.
After selecting any of these buttons, a new window labeled UPC Control would open. Depending on the selected button, choices differ.
Below is a view of PRICE CHECK operation mode in the UPC Control window

Figure 2-44: UPC Utility Startup – price check

UPC control window first section displays item name and description. Users may print item labels in various formats in this section; moreover, price adjustment can be made here. Below is a display of item details in UPC Control window first section.

Figure 2-45: UPC Utility Startup – price check first section

As stated earlier, the printing option gives a range of choices to print an item label. Below is an example of the first option, Product label.

Figure 2-45: Figure 2-45: UPC Utility Startup – price check, Print item labels

To adjust the retail price easily, simply click the three-dot box at the top right corner. This will open the "Adjust Retail Price" window.

Figure 2-46: UPC Utility Startup – price check, Adjust Retail Price.

As stated earlier, the UPC control window has many tabs, and these tabs are available based on the user's operating mode. In this situation, we're looking at Price Check mode, which gives access to only 3 tabs; scan, packed and bin.
The scan tab in the Price Check Operation mode displays the item brand, Supplier, Price including Tax, Package Unit, Stock Amount, Bin Number and Picture

Figure 2-47: UPC Utility Startup – price check, Scan Tab.

The packed tab displays the item dimensions ,weight, and expiration date. These are all fields that can be edited. See section 2.2.7 Packaging x to better understand their function.

The purchase operation essentially allows users to see the purchase costs for the item and the amount of the last shipment. This form is now visible on Scan tab. Note when in any other mode this form is not visible. However, the form becomes visible in purchase operation

Figure 2-52: UPC Utility Startup – Purchase

UPC Utilities Ribbon- Stock Take

Stock take is done in a business to record the stock amount in the company. GoneClear StoreFont stock-take function is simple to understand and adjust if necessary. The 'count' tab can be viewed under the 'stock take' operation mode. The count tab displays the last count date, the sum on stock at the current location of the user, and the total number of items in the company. Let's take a look at how to confirm and adjust the stock.

Adjust Stock

1. Enter correct stock quantity
2. Click on the button "Adjust Stock"
3. Click YES on the pop-up message

Brokerage Utilities

For any company that imports freight, a customs broker is strongly recommended, as there are regulations and clearance specifications that can become rather tedious. A custom broker would save the owner a lot of work and time. However, during the process, you may want to view this custom entry. For this reason, our team provides you with a means of displaying custom entry at your desk utilizing our GoneClear StoreFront POS System. This function not only allows you to view but also to make adjustments to prevent a lengthy wait for the customs broker to finalize the procedure since changes to the price of the product are allowed before the broker completes the process. When the broker completes his entry, he will provide you with the final price list, the Cost Sheet. More regarding the cost sheet is mentioned later in this guide.

NOTE: This option is only accessible to customers who purchased our brokerage program.

Terminologies	Definitions
Custom Broker	Customs brokers are private individuals, partnerships, organizations or businesses that are authorised, regulated and empowered by the Country. Customs and border protection (CBP) assists importers and exporters in complying with Government import and export requirements.

Import Customs Entry window

Following the "import cost sheet" procedures, the list of products would appear in the "Import Customs Entry" window. This window allows users to make changes to stock numbers, make changes to category and department, display inventory, repack the item and fragment this list before sending to incoming shipment.

NOTE:All stock numbers unrecognized by the system would have "invalid" next to them. The reason for this is because it's probably a few numbers incorrect with the stock number entered, or it's a new item. To fix this, users must correct or update the stock number.

Button/Field	Function
Use Our Stock #	This field allows users to use existing stock number from inventory. This feature can be very useful especially for stock numbers that were entered wrong on the cost sheet by the broker.
PO Number
Save	Save button saves any changes made to the item.
Inventory	Opens selected item inventory details.
Fragment	Fragment allows users to separate quantity and value. For example, you might buy a set of pans from your supplier, but your company sells them separately. The fragment function lets you separate and add value to the item. The incoming shipment will also allow you to do this in greater depth. We'll discuss this later in the guide.
Repack	This feature allows the user to adjust the quantity and stock value. For example, the supplier can sell a product per case, but the company sells it each. Use this useful tool to display items for each and its price. Enter the number of quantities in one package then the system calculates the cost automatically.
Update Inventory	This functionality automatically adds the new stock number. Before clicking "Update Inventory," users need to update department and category.
Send to Incoming	After the cost sheet update is complete, the next process is to send your entry to incoming shipments. This feature sends data to the incoming shipment automatically.
Exit	To close the “Import Customs Entry” window.

Incoming Shipment

When a shipment arrives, users can track and receive the orders in GoneClear StoreFront POS with the “Incoming Shipment” function. Our GoneClear team worked tirelessly to develop four different methods of importing orders that would reduce the time wasted rewriting orders made to the supplier.

Term	Definition/Function
Purchase Order (PO)	Purchase Orders (POs) are documents provided by you, as a buyer, to a supplier requesting goods or services as an order.
Backorder	A request for goods that are not available now but will be available in the
Orphan List	An “orphan list” is a list of items that were not on the order sheet but was sent by the supplier.
Repack	This feature allows the user to adjust the quantity and stock value. For example, the supplier can sell a product per case, but the company sells it each. Use this useful tool to display items for each and its price. Enter the number of quantities in one package then the system calculates the cost automatically.
Reconciliation	Reconciliation is an accounting procedure that combines two information sets to ensure that the documents are accurate and consistent. Reconciliation of accounts often guarantees consistency, precision and completeness of reports in the general ledger.
Variance Report	Variance reports are meant to compare the amount of the initial invoice and the cost with the actual quantity received.
Multi-line Variance Report	If multiple invoices are in a shipment with the same item on multiple invoice lines, the multi-line variance report compares the total shipped for the item with the total received. The user is likely to enter the total amount received on the first occurrence of the invoice line item, but it must be reconciled with the total amount invoiced.

Open and Receive Shipment

Once a shipment has been created, it remains in pending status, enabling the user to make necessary adjustments to each item on the shipment. When all changes are accurate and complete, the user must receive stock to update the Goneclear StoreFront POS. In this segment, we will cover the steps to open a shipment, and all the precautions a user may take before receiving the shipment.

Stock Take

System Repack

Where your company sells goods by the case at Wholesale prices and similar products individually at Retail prices, the products are inventoried under distinct stock numbers with their own unit list prices. The first is a case price, whereas the second is an each pricing. If your business distinguishes between retail and wholesale sales forces and the goods are sold only via retail or wholesale outlets, each inventory item must be labeled R(retail) or W(wholesale) in the Type of Inventory field (wholesale). This allows product lookups to be restricted to the proper class of goods for each sales center.

When products are transferred from a wholesale warehouse stocked per case to a retail outlet, they must be repacked from the cases deducted from the warehouse inventory to the number of single units to be stocked on the retail shelf. This is accomplished most easily by transferring cases from the wholesale warehouse to the warehouse of the retail store. When cases need to be transferred from the retail warehouse to the retail store shelf, the system converts the case quantities to the individual item amounts required to stock the retail store shelves.

When a link is established between the two stock numbers, it allows the appropriate stock number to be ordered from the warehouse, as well as the automated conversion of case units to retail units when case units are taken from the Retail Warehouse and placed on the Retail shelf stock.

Sales

Nowadays, the sales process is not relatively as easy as selling a product to one customer one at a time over the counter. Instead, it has become a dynamic network of connected processes that can require any, if not all, of the following: inventory, and logistics management, ordering, billing, and customer relationship management, as well as searching out new sales opportunities. The sales phase begins with sales opportunities being nurtured, sales quotes being generated, sales orders being entered, and customers being invoiced. This chapter addresses the crucial measures that must be completed after a transaction has been concluded, including how to turn a quote into a sales order, guarantee that an order is delivered correctly, and maintain prompt invoicing to improve positive cash flow.

Customer	Provides access to client details and makes adjustments to the information such as selecting a new account or choosing a sales transaction type, i.e., credit card, cash, preferred.
Cashier Release	This action button enables cashiers to access sales orders. Ergo, after a salesperson completes an order and the warehouse verifies that all products are in stock, "Release to Cashier" changes the status to CASHIER so that the sales order will then be accessible for the cashier.
Price Change	Allow the salesperson to see if the price of the selected item has changed. The salesperson may allow the invoice to proceed with the current price or adjust the price to reflect the new value.
Reset	this action button enables users to reassign/assign a discount, delivery type, and sales type.
Reassign	Enables users to reassign the salesperson, P.O number, and the "referred by." (After clicking, the button will change to "save" to enable users to save changes.)

Aged Accounts (Accounts)

An aging account report summarizes customers' outstanding balances and the length of time the bills have been overdue. The aging method is base on the three-period start dates entered. The defaults are determined based on the current accounting month, which is similar to how a utility provider would calculate the payment due.For example, all charges made during an operational month are billed on the 30th, and the customer balance is expected to be settled by the end of the following month. In the example below, the current operational month is July 1 – 31, it might be the 10th of July, and any invoices charged since July 1 are not due for more than 30 days ('30 days' being the description of the current month). Any bills charged in June (the month for which statements were recently sent) are characterized as 30-60. May bills are all in the 60-90 range. Any invoice issued before to 1 May is more than 90.

*NOTE: If your aging is based on individual invoices regardless of the month charged, which implies that your aged accounts will vary daily, you should adjust the starting dates for the periods each time you calculate the aging report.

There are three distinct options available in the aging report. Below is a table outlining the definitions for each option.

Terminologies	Definitions
Collections	This option will show only accounts that have a balance, and therefore will exclude accounts with a zero balance or a credit balance.
Last Ending Period	This option will display all accounts in either debit or credit mode, thus documenting stated balances for account reconciliation.
Statement List	This option displays all accounts that have had activity during the most recent statement period or that have a debit balance.

Terms	Definition
Tranfer Request (RSO)	A transfer request is a process through which items are requested between company locations. Commonly, an RSO is referred to as a transfer Request.
Warehouse Transfer Request (WTO)	A WTO is a document that the warehouse creates in response to the transfer request (RSO). This document will include a list of all goods delivered to the receiving location, along with their quantities.
Picklist	A picklist is a document that is assigned to a warehouse picker. It contains a list of items and their quantities that must be picked from a particular warehouse in order to fulfill orders. It includes just the information necessary for a warehouse picker to do his or her task.
Request Variance	A request variance occurs when the WTO records an incorrect amount of stock goods compared to what is physically transferred. Typically, a request variance will be found when the receiver does his count.
In Transit	The term "in transit" refers to products that have been sent from the supplier's warehouse but are not yet at the receiving location. As long as the receiver does not click received in the system, the goods will be recorded as "in transit" in the GoneClear POS.
