Receiving an Order
Receiving an order involves several steps.
- First you must run the Invoice Wizard and download you invoice files from Ace Hardware’s computer system.
- Then you must send the invoice file you wish to receive against to the Receiving Client.
- The Receiving Client is then used to check in the order.
- After the order is checked in, you must download the data back on to the server.
- At this point you can look over the invoice. Make any necessary corrections or adjustments to the invoice.
- Then you update the completed invoice into Cougar Mountain, updating on-hand counts and adding information to the history file.
- The invoice is then archived for future reference.
- Every time you download an invoice, you also download nightly product updates called Hotsheets. To update your system with these updates you need to print new product labels with new prices, put those labels up through out your store, and then update the new data into Cougar Mountain.
