The New Order Wizard
The ordering process begins with creating an order database for all of you order records to be stored in. The New Order Wizard will help you through this process.
To create a new order, press the New Order Wizard button located in the top right hand corner of the main Order window. The wizard will appear. Click “Next >” to continue.
The wizard will display a list of all of the Inventory (IN) Codes and their descriptions from the Inventory module of Cougar Mountain. Choose “Ace” (IN code “I1″) as your vendor, and click “Next >” to continue.
See below for more info on IN codes.
Finishing the New Order Wizard
After you have selected a vendor, the wizard is ready to be completed. Click “Finished” to create the new order and close the wizard. You are now ready to start ordering using Order Assembly.
Inventory Codes
IN codes are codes setup in Cougar Mountain that determine how items in inventory are dealt with. This includes: valuation methods (FIFO, Weighted Average, etc.), tax code assignments, and GL accounts (for use if GL Integration is ON).
Typically these codes are assigned to different vendors and tax settings, but when using Substruct Utilities with Cougar Mountain, code “I1” (uppercase “i”, number “one”) is always the Ace Hardware Corp. inventory code: every items that comes from an Ace warehouse has an IN code of “I1″.
