The True Value IOR Maintenance Utility Menu allows the user to perform various maintenance tasks for the True Value IOR utility.

Selecting the Sequence Numbers button will open the Sequence Number Maintenance Screen.  This screen will allow the user to manually advance the True Value sequence numbers to enable the downloading of information from True Value Corporation.  It is used to specify the starting sequence number to search for when downloading files from True Value Corporate.  The sequence numbers are basically transaction numbers that are used over and over again in a rolling fashion.  The range for sequence numbers is 001 to 999.  Each file is assigned the next available sequence number and when 999 is reached the assignment begins at 001 again.  They are used as a starting point for file retrieval. Any files with a sequence number greater than the current sequence number will be downloaded from True Value Company's Mainframe into TransActPOS.  For each file type there is narrow range of valid sequence numbers.  If the user is having difficultly updating True Value Maintenance files, the Sequence Number is not set correctly.  Call the True Value Order Desk at 1-800-828-3658 to get the correct Sequence Numbers.

 

The All Item Import allows the user to download an All Item list and/or an All Price list from True Value. In the screen below, you select the download(s) you want to perform and click the Start button to begin the process.

 

Selecting this menu option will allow you to reprocess a specific sequence number (see above for information on Sequence Numbers).

 

This allows the user to view all downloaded True Value promotions and export the promotion file to the sale file in the POS module.  To change the ascending or descending order of the list, left click Section, Item ID, or Description. The user can then select the desired promotion by left clicking in anyplace within the desired row. To view a listing of promotional items, select the Properties tab. To export the Promotion to the POS Module select the Export to Sale button.  A Select Promotion Section(s)  Screen is displayed to enable the user to pick the section(s) of the promotion the user is supporting. If your system's promotions haven't been cleaned out in a while, click Delete Group and it will ask you a date to delete all promotions prior to this entered date.

 

 

 

Note:  Editing of items is preformed in POS | File Maintenance | Promotions.  Select the desired promotion from the list, select properties, select the desired item and choose either Edit or Delete.

 

 

 

The MRI Receipt option allows a user to receive in a MRI Receipt in full instead of scanning each item within the Options | IOR | Screens | Receipt Screen.  

 

 

Manually receiving each item in has a number of benefits to include:

 

In some cases, receiving an order in full makes perfect sense:

Note: This option will also allow for the reversal of the mistaken full receipt of the wrong order.  Check out Reversing a MRI Order received incorrectly.

 

Locate the "Consolidated Invoice #" indicated within your shipping documents.  With the line containing the Consolidated Invoice highlighted in blue, choose the "Select" button.

Note: Selecting the column headers on the Select Invoice screen will reorder the listing for you making it easier to locate the invoice.

If the Consolidated Invoice has already been received in full, the system will present the following "Reverse the receipt" message. Check out Reversing a MRI Order received incorrectly for further information.

 

With the correct invoice indicated, select "Step 2: Receipt Screen" to continue.

 

The Enter PO Number option allows the user to filter the current consolidated invoice.  The PO being referenced here will appear on your MRI document.  If receiving the entire order, leave PO number blank and select continue.

The system will then automatically fill the "Receipt Screen" with the contents of the MRI.  The "Fill Quantity" will be the quantity received into the Receipt Screen.  Select "Finished" to continue.

 

To remove a MRI, select Close MRI and select the appropriate invoices to be deleted.

 

 

This option is very similar to Close MRI, except it allows you to reopen an MRI Invoice that you have closed.

 

To reverse a receipt of an MRI, select Review MRI and follow the two step process.

 

Creates a compressed zip file of the True Value items data which can be then upload to True Value for analysis.
