Sales Analysis / Cost Profit Reports

There has been some confusion as to how [i]merchant gathers together the information when the selected dates span multiple periods. Day, week or month.

The results depend on the “Show each period as a separate line.” check box as described below.

As an example assume the period is set to month with a start date of January 1 and an end date is March 31.

When checked:

• The periods remain separate and will print as distinct lines on the report.
• The report will show three lines for each product, January, February and March.

When unchecked:

• The report will show one line representing the entire period.
• The quantity and amount fields are added together to form a single line for the report.

A confirmation message has been added to remind the user when multiple periods have been selected, and the “Show each period as a separate line.” box has not been checked.

Import utilities  

• Vendor Mapping import was added.

Vendor Mapping  

A vendor mapping tool has been added to [i]merchant which allows [i]merchant to default the vendor and publisher/manufacturer fields for new products. The mapping defaults are used when an explicit vendor or publisher/manufacture has not already been set. For example, if a vendor or publisher/manufacturer is available via the front list import, the mapping is not used.

The vendor map can be based on the beginning portion of the product number, or the beginning portion of the vendor name extracted from Venstock. The Vendor Mapping Finder and Property forms are available within Vendor properties, and on the Product tab of system options (Tools, Options, Product tab).

• Enter the beginning portion of a product number or vendor code to be compared.
• [i]merchant will match on as many characters as possible.
• The “Match By” setting tells [i]merchant which field, Product Number or Venstock Vendor, should be compared.
• A minimum of 3 characters must be entered for a match.
• Product numbers that are ISBNs, beginning with 978 or 979, must be at least 5 characters long.

System Options

• Fields on the account information tab that correspond to importing or defaulting product information have been moved to the product tab.
• The Product tab has been modified so it contains all the system wide settings used when adding a new product.
• A Vendor Mapping button and Priority setting are new to product defaults.
• The Vendor Mapping button shows the existing mappings and allows the user to maintain the entries.
• The priority drop down list tells [i]merchant which method of comparing should be used first, Product or Vendor. If a match is not found using the first method, the opposite method is then tested.
• [i]merchant will use the first matching entry it finds.

Product Context Menu

• The Link to Web site option has been modified so that multiple sites can be listed.
• Sites are defined under Tools > Options. Use the “Product Web Links” button to define the sites.
• A separate menu column has been added to the context menu for the sites.
