2. Myridas Catchweights Meeting the exacting requirements of the meat, fish & cheese markets

3. Catchweight Items will be assigned to an additional unit of measure schedule called the catchweight schedule. This schedule understands that conversion rates are provisional only. Lets take a closer look at a catchweight schedule.

4. Ticking the confirm button means that you are saying that actual weight must be entered before invoicing can take place. Notice too that catchweights is set up for purchasing as well as sales. This demo will concentrate on sales but everything you see applies equally to purchasing. Main selling unit means that I take my order in nominal 1.5Kg units .. Base U of M means I will invoice in kilos Lets see how this works in an order.

5. The system will recognise immediately when you start to enter a catchweight item. You will enter the qty in the ordered unit .. In this case 3. The system will generate a provisional weight for credit checking and general valuation purposes but leave the actual weight blank .. pending picking and actual weighing .

6. As soon as I click OK then the system updates description to show what the customer ordered but also sets the potential invoice to 4.5 kilos. Remember though that the operator MUST come back and enter the actual weight before invoicing can be completed

7. Now, using the Advanced Distribution module I have transferred this order to a despatch. Every despatch in Advance Distribution can be mapped through a series of statuses so that you always know what is where in you warehouse. This tracking can be simple or have up to six steps .. governed by type id Among other things this “status tracking” records when you have printed a pick note and manages reprinting .. This document .. Having just been transferred knows it is waiting to have its pick list printed

8. When I choose the “File > Print option I am offered this screen. Notice that the system says I can print pick notes and only pick notes. It knows this because of the status of the document.

9. As you can see the pick note shows both qty to pick and “expected weight” Of course just like any other MGP report, the layout can be amended to suit. This is where you may expect the picker to write the actual weight . Or he may print a bar code from the scales

10. Now that we have printed the pick list the status has moved on to something I have decided to call “Confirm Pick and weights “ .. You can use your own terminology So now I need to enter the ACTUAL weight (without , of course , changing the quantity the customer actually ordered.. )

11. I could just enter the weight of all three cheeses as here Or I could hit the zoom button and enter them individually Look at the next slide to see how this is done.

12. In our example there were three cheeses so the user is offered 3 lines to enter weights. Notice that the user has mis-keyed on line three which has sent up an error message indicating that the weight is probably wrong .. You can set up your own tolerance limits in the catchweight control record …..

13. Like this

14. Like all MGP reports the invoice can be customised to exact requirements but most importantly it can show what the customer ordered … And what he is is being invoiced

15. Full dual tracking down to lot level
