How to track inventory that is for use in a Single Store Portable Acme

 

 

Set up a “portable customer” that represents the purpose of the portable, for example: TRUCK 1, Sidewalk Sale or Orlando Trade Show. Give the portable customer a Trade Discount of -1. Everything sold to this customer will be at $0. This customer is never used for real transactions that generate revenue.

 

“Sell” the portable customer everything that is taken out of the store for the truck, sidewalk or trade show. Immediately Reverse Entire Ticket. The purpose these two transactions is to create a record of what went out, without affecting on hand levels at the store since portables share a stores inventory.

 

When the portable sells items to real customers the transactions are pumped to the store and the items come out of the store's inventory.

 

If items are taken OFF the truck and put back into the store because they did not sell, enter a return for the items and then immediately Reverse Entire Ticket. The purpose is to create a record of what came back, without affecting on hand levels at the store.

 

To reconcile the portable inventory run Acme Data Miner report called “Reconcile Portable Inventory”. Please note, this report treats the “reversing” transactions specially. If you do not reverse the transactions using Reverse Whole Ticket this report will not function as designed.
