My company uses BC just for accounting and we are not utilizing most functions because of the accounting system and the fact that our POS(Point of Sale) is not Microsoft based.
We have 300 retail stores that we do not have visibility on the inventory thus we cannot use BC's planning functions.
We have a centralized DC (Distribution Center) and all the purchases are routed through here then shipped to individual stores.
Moving forward I am recommending that we treat each store as a location instead of customer.
Soo when we want to move inventory we can just Transfer Order to the store.
With this we will have visibility of how much inventory each store has.
How we take/ consume the inventory once a sale is created on the POS system is through importing a sales Invoice with the breakdown of the stores sales at end of day.
Now how do we go about importing that sales invoice/ sales data into BC?
