Inter-store Relationships

TransActPOS uses serial numbers to identify stores within a multi-store setup, enabling automatic recognition and labeling of transactions (like Purchase Orders and Sales Orders) that occur between these interconnected stores. TransActPOS Home Office manages the sharing of inventory and customer information between multiple stores.

 

During the initial configuration of the TransActPOS system (when it's set up for multiple stores), the system establishes connections between the different store locations.

 

These connections, or "inter-store relationships," are defined by specific identifiers associated with each store and present at the TransActPOS Home Office.

 

Each individual TransActPOS store  is assigned a unique serial number which is located within the TransActPOS Main Screen > Main Menu.

 

This number identifies the "Home Office" operating within the multi-store environment.

 

When you create a Purchase Order and select one of the linked stores (within the same Multi-Store environment) as the "customer", the system automatically recognizes this as an "Inter-store" relationship.

 

Both the Purchase Order and the associated Sales Order will display the title "Inter-store" within their respective modules, indicating that the transaction is occurring between stores in the same multi-store system.

 

Created during the configuration of the TransActPOS Multi-Store environment, the "Store #" customers are associated with specific stores within the multi-store environment to where and from where inventory is transferred.

 

Much like the above account creation, Vendor are created for each store so requests of inventory can be made via an inter-store purchase order. This functionality is review within Other TransActPOS Modules > TransActPOS Multi-store > Inventory > Inventory Transfer - Inter-store Purchase Orders.
