2020 design quote or quick entry orders can be migrated into the Magnatron distribution system via a seamless interface. Four different types of orders may be generated via the interface: Lump sum priced, Lump sum priced subject to Use tax (both of these types of orders include the installation charges as a part of the order) Package priced order and regular per cabinet priced order.

Inventory items are created or updated via the interface with list prices and cost optionally coming from vendor catalogs in the 2020 databases.

Surplus inventory is checked and allocated during the process to lower your overall inventory investment.

Orders are generated into the order processing system so that they may be reviewed for truck load cubing.

When the order is processed purchase orders are automatically generated by vendor. Via catalog link items are sorted to one or more purchase orders. So if one design contains items from multiple manufacture catalogs multiple purchase orders will be generated.

Purchase orders may be communicated to the manufacture via Fax, EDI, email or XML document Upon receipt the location for the staged cabinets will be updated into the system giving the user instant access to where an order is located in the warehouse. Picking documents will print with the staged inventory locations. The physical inventory process allows for counting both the staged inventory and stocked inventory.
