Dairy Liquid Purchases

Data Specialists, Inc. has developed a multiplatform Client/Server application to provide control of purchases of bulk dairy liquids.

The system has been designed to stand alone or work with DSI's Producer Payroll system, Production/Inventory system, or with the Dairy Liquid Sales module.

These systems take into account the special considerations required for:

  • Federal Order Pricing
  • Over order premiums 
  • Market formula pricing
  • Additional service charges and fees

The term 'dairy liquid' can encompass a wide range of user-defined items.  This can include the usual milk, cream and skim, but also manufactured products such as condensed products, custom mixes, and by-products.

The purchase system provides tracking of bulk dairy liquid purchases from vendors.  It will price these purchases and create a purchase voucher, which can be compared to the vendor's invoice or be used for payment entry.
