Hey Crunchers, I Hope everyone's saying T.G.I.F. and is looking forward to the start of the weekend! As usual, its been a hectic and busy week here at the NumberCruncher offices. Other then our normal daily workload, we have been working on some new and exciting projects, that I know everyone here can't wait to announce! Make sure to follow our blog, our social media channels and your email inboxes for all these upcoming announcements.

As the end of the year starts to roll around, your company will start to reevaluate your software choices. Maybe in years past you just went with the software that you already knew. This year take a leap out of your comfort zone, and give All Orders by NumberCruncher a try!  To guarantee our software is a perfect fit for your company, we require all new users to have a hour-long software demo, with our CEO or CTO. We do this to make sure our customers know the ins-and-outs of our software, as well as, it allows all future clients a platform to ask any questions they may have about the software or what it does. After this demo, we supply you with a 30-day no commitment FREE trial of the software, so you can see just how beneficial All Orders by NumberCruncher really is! After that trial, you can decide to join the Cruncher family and pay a one time fee for the software, which includes your first year of support. After the first year, you just pay a yearly fee for support. All software updates are included in your yearly support plan! To help our clients know exactly how much they will be paying with us, we have created our Pricing Calculator and positioned it right on our website, so new clients can see exactly how much they will be spending.

 

 

Simply fill out the form and it will tell you what your initial cost will be and what your reoccurring yearly maintenance plan will be.

Hey Everyone! Hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for another busy work week! I know the NumberCruncher blog has been on a bit of a hiatus the last couple of weeks, but we're back and ready to Crunch through these long hot South Florida summer days. During these summer months our Support Team has been hard at work answering our current clients questions and helping setup All Orders by NumberCruncher on new client's networks. The grind never seems to slow down at our offices, especially during summer, when companies are reevaluating their current Inventory Management software and are deciding if its up-to-par or if their needs are not being met or satisfied. If your company is in the midst of reevaluating your software, please remember that NumberCruncher provides all prospective clients with an hour-long demo to make sure our software is a perfect fit, as well as, a 30-day no commitment FULL software trial before you decide to buy. We don't want your company buying our software, if it isn't the ideal fit for your business. To Learn more about ALL ORDERS please click HERE or give us a call at 866-278-6243 TODAY!

NumberCruncher.com would like to thank Financesonline.com for recognizing us and writing a review on All Orders. Finances Online is the fastest growing independent review platform for B2B, SaaS and Financial Solutions.

How to Include Employee Costs in BOMs

May 6, 2016 at 3:02 PMThomas Riemann

Hello everyone. Welcome back to the NumberCruncher Blog. As most of you know, My name is Tom and I am the trainer/support tech here at NumberCruncher. If you need to learn how to do something in the All Order's software, I'm your guy! Remember, if you are struggling with something in the All Order's software, please give us a call @ 866-278-6243. We can set up a training session with you and your company remotely. So make sure you build up those questions and give us a call to set up your session today! That's not what brings me to the blog today. What I would like to talk about today is something that customers ask about all the time, "How do I include employee Costs in BOM's." So sit back and enjoy the read!

Our first step is to create an item that we can put into a BOM. We're going to create a new item called "Labor" (or whatever you would like). This item should either be a non-inventory part, service or other charge group. If you are creating this item in QuickBooks, check the "This service is performed by a Sub-contractor, owner or partner." Next, go to the purchasing tab, enter the cost. The cost should estimate the hourly wages and benefits. Of course, we're going to need to select an income account and an expense account. For income, you can select any of them. For the expense account, create a new account Called "Salaries Applies to Finished Goods". Save and close this item.

Now it is time to include this newly created item in the appropriate Bill of Materials. Go to a finished good item and edit the BOM's. Simply add this item to the component lists. Save and close. Now we can start using this finished good on a work order that will include this new Labor Item's cost.

When you finish a production, the labor cost will be deducted from Salaries Applied to Finished Goods expense and included in the cost of your finished product. Now if the salaries account is greater than the Salaries Applied to Finished Goods, this means that a) you have processed payroll but have not yet finished the product or b) the Cost amount on the item is too low. If the Salaries account is less than the Salaries Applied to Finished Goods this means that either a) you have finished product but have not yet processed payroll or b) the "Cost" amount on the item is too high.

Well, I hope this has cleared any confusion you might have with creating Employee Costs in BOM's. If you still have some question's, place a comment below, and I will answer your question directly. You can also send us an email Support. It's Friday! Take some time to yourself this weekend and get ready for Monday! Enjoy!

How to add users in All Orders!

April 27, 2016 at 1:45 PMThomas Riemann

Happy day to everyone!

The Manage Users command, available from the Company menu, allows you to set access levels for every individual in your organization who will be accessing the All Orders system, including sales, administration, production teams, etc. This must be done separately within All Orders, as the application does not make use of QuickBooks user profiles.

By default, only the Admin account exists. This account does not initially have a password. If you're going to be setting up a multi-user environment, then this is the first thing you'll want to remedy. Administrators have complete access to the program and its data, and only administrators can view, add, edit, or delete users and user rights. As such, this account needs to be well-protected with a strong password. Type a password into the Password field, and then retype it in the Confirm Password field.

Once you've protected your Admin account, it's time to add other users. Choose Save & New from the Save drop-down list button. You'll then be required to choose a User Name and Password as well as set access privileges.

After entering the unique user name and password, click the Access Levels tab.

On this screen you can assign access levels to various parts of the program as follows:

  • No Access. User cannot edit or even read the list.

  • Read-Only Access. User can access the data, but cannot make edits.

  • Full-Access. User can access the data and has full write privileges for making edits.

 

Then click the Rights tab and complete the user rights:

  1. This user is connected to QuickBooks option appropriately. Unchecking this option disables synchronization with QuickBooks.   See Synchronizing with QuickBooks on different strategies for QuickBooks exchanging information with QuickBooks.  

  1. There are numerous check boxes that can be used to grant/restrict access to the user in question, such as the ability to delete records or approve Sales Orders. Check all the boxes that apply.

  2. In addition to these check boxes, All Orders also sports two special filters: by Sales Rep, and by Location. For example, if you want to restrict an employee's data access to a customers having a particular sales rep.

  3. Choose either Save & Close to save your work and exit the dialog, or Save & New to save the current user and move on to the next one.

Well that is all for today! I hope everyone has a great weekend! Make sure to contact us if you have and Questions. support@numbercruncher.com or call us @ 866-278-6243.

New feature - Custom Messages

March 18, 2016 at 3:05 PMThomas Riemann

          Good afternoon! Happy Friday everyone! As you guy's already may know, we recently released a new version of the All Orders software, Version 6.2.3. I recommend everyone download this update. We believe that All Order's is the # 1 Inventory System on the web today! We strive to come out with these updates as frequent as possible to improve our Inventory System and add key features that you may have requested. Speaking of requesting features, have you seen our feature request on NumberCruncher.com? Now our software has many many features but let's face it, as smart as we are, we can't think of everything. So if there is anything that is not in the All Order's software currently, submit a feature request! Not every feature will be able to make it in but if it gets enough user votes, you may see it in the next update!

          Ok, let's get to the point of this post. Let's talk about a feature that many of you have requested, Custom E-mail templates. To get to this new feature in the newest update, go to List - Profile Lists - Sales - Custom Messages. This feature will allow you to add a custom message when you are e-mailing the invoice to a customer. When creating a new custom message, you now have the ability to select which report you would like this custom message to be associated with. For instance, let's say you are e-mailing a Sales Order report to a customer, you can create a custom message to appear every time you e-mail that Sales Order report to the customer. Every time we e-mail this to a customer we want it to say Thanks for your business! Have a great day. We would simply put that in as a new note and simply select which report its tied too below. Additionally, we can add selected information to be displayed in the custom message. Similar to our reporting system, we can add fields to this custom message. Lets say we want all the item's on this sales order to appear in the e-mail as well. We would simply add this field like this: [ITEM]. Since we have multiple line item's on the sales order, were going to tell the system to bring all those item's into the e-mail. We would set this up like this:  [LINE][ITEM][/LINE]. What that will do is list all the item's on the report. I have created an example of a complete custom message:

Shipping Notification

[SHIPDATE]

Number Cruncher Inc.

123456 Street Road

Hollywood, FL 12345

Phone (000) 000-0000 Fax (000) 000-0000

Billing:

[BILLADDR1]
[BILLADDR2]
[BILLCITY], [BILLSTATE]  [BILLZIP]
[BILLPHONE], [BILLEMAIL]

 

Shipping:

[SHIPADDR1]
[SHIPADDR2]
[SHIPCITY],[SHIPSTATE] [SHIPZIP]
[SHIPPHONE] [SHIPEMAIL]

Dear [CUSTOMER]

Your order [DOCNO] shipped [SHIPDATE].

Here is your tracking#: [SHIPDOCREF]

Item: [LINE][ITEM][/LINE]

          Stay tuned for next week's blog post! I will be going over why our software is the best inventory software out on the web. I will be going over some of the features All Order's has that many other inventory software might not include. Well, I hope you guy's have a great weekend! Talk to you Soon!

What is a Consignment? How do I ship out item's?

February 19, 2016 at 3:50 PMThomas Riemann

Hello, and welcome back to the NumberCruncher Blog! Hope all of you are doing well and you business is thriving! Today I would like to talk about a feature in All Order's called Consignments. You might be asking yourself "What is a Consignment?" Consignment is the act of consigning, the act of giving over to another person or agent's charge, custody or care any material or goods but retaining legal ownership until the material or goods are sold. 

We have a perfect feature in our system for this. To start a new consignment, go to Sales - New Consignment. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. Before we get that started, you will want to make sure you set up the default location for the specific customer. You can do that by going to the customer screen, clicking the Shipping Info tab, and selecting that default location. You will want to make sure you set that location to the location where your quantity is. The reason why you have to set that up before is because only those customers with the default location set will appear in the drop down. Ok, back to the consignment. Once you add a customer and a location, all the items in that location will populate. You can use the filter tab to filter for a specific item on the list. This is where you will be able to pick and choose what item to send and how much QTY to send. You will enter this info under the ship doc column. Once you have selected that information, we can go ahead and go to Activities - Finalize. Now a Ship Doc will be created for that customer for those items. Next week, I will talk about how to get those item's that didn't sell back from that customer. Stay tuned!

Well, that is all for today. I hope you guy's have a great weekend! Remember if you have any questions, head over to our website. As always you can always e-mail customer support at support@numbercruncher.com or call us (866) 278-6243.

Multiple Warehouse Locations

December 8, 2015 at 11:04 AMThomas Riemann

Hey Guy's! Happy Friday! Hope everyone had an outstanding week! Firstly, welcome back to the NumberCruncher blog. Before we get into our next blog topic, take a second and head over to the NEW NumberCruncher website. We redesigned it and we think it looks great. Tell us what you think about it in the comments below! Thanks for taking a look!

Ok, so lets talk little about Locations.

A Location can be anything you store inventory in. An example of a location may be your main warehouse or another warehouse located in a different state. It also may be a customer that you drop ship to.

You can access the Location tab either from the company home screen or Warehouse – New Location. This will allow you to add new facility locations as needed.  All you have to do is enter a Location name and then specify whether you would like it to be listed as available.

The first tab you will see is “The address Information tab” this is pretty much self explanatory, this is the address of the location. If it is a customer, say for a drop ship, you can copy the customers or vendors address by click the Copy from Customer or Copy from Vendor. That will bring up a menu where you can select the customer and its address.

The next tab is called Bins. This allows you to create a location within a location. This will help out your shippers while they are picking the product. You can place the bin number on the pick ticket so they know exactly where the item is located within your warehouse. This doesn’t have to be a physical bin it could be and place where the product is being stored. To add a new bin, click the line below Default. Next, type in the name of the bin of your choice. You can now select if the bin is available or you can mark if this is your default bin.

If you need to delete a bin, all you have to do is click the delete button.

Save an close and you are finished.

That pretty much sum's up Locations. I hope this helped your company understand Locations a bit better. As always, I invite you to check out some of our video tutorials. They are a great help to new comers to All Orders. Make sure you check them out. Of course if you have some issues or question's about anything related to Locations or All Orders in general, please give our customer support line a call - (866) 278-6243. You can send us an email also - support@numbercruncher.com. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Enjoy!
