COMPLETE DESCRIPTION
The ICP system is a very powerful and complete inventory
management system. It includes modules to sell, order and receive
inventory. It tracks purchase orders and automatically adds
inventory to the re-order report when the count (on hand) total
falls below the minimum acceptable stock level for the item.
Inventory can be ordered and received both automatically and
manually. A flag can be set so that the item will be deleted when
the count reaches zero rather than being added to the re-order
report for items that will not be re-stocked.
ICP supports LIFO, FIFO, and weighted average costing tech-
niques.
Serialized inventory and composite inventory (inventory
items consisting of other inventory items) is supported.
The numeric keypad is used to make all menu selections thus
requiring only the fingers of one hand to navigate the system.
The menu options are presented at the bottom of the screen allow-
ing information to be constantly displayed. The information
window is not obstructed by pop-up or pull-down windows for menu
selections.
Record "templates" facilitate the rapid and efficient entry
of data and in no other system is the entry of new records easier
or more efficient than in the ICP.
The data base can be segmented by setting a complex filters
including the "and/or" logical operators.
Records can be located by searching for specific item num-
bers, descriptions, manufacturers, or vendors or by "browsing"
the data base or a restricted segment of the data base.
Inventory can be re-priced by formula (any legitimate
mathematical expression) on any price level. Re-pricing Reports
are available before and after the re-pricing process.
The package contains a setup program to custom configure ICP
and a report generator for creating and modifying reports and
labels.
CATALOG DESCRIPTION
ICP is a general purpose inventory control program with
modules to sell, order and receive inventory. The system tracks
orders, backorders, purchase orders, inventory balances, item
histories and vendors. It orders and receives inventory either
automatically or manually. ICP supports serialized inventory,
composite inventory (inventory items composed of other inventory
items), multiple locations, and LIFO,FIFO, and weighted average
costing. It features complex filtering (segmenting) of the data
base by "and/or" logical operators. This feature makes possible
the isolation of target records by any field or combination of
fields. A very powerful report generator provides many useful
reports and labels. ICP can be upgraded to a complete point-of-
sale system (PICS) with no loss of data.
