Order Control provides for the recording of customer quotations and orders, as well as debit and credit memos.  The system validates and supports bill-to, ship-to, terms, promotions, allowances, and virtually unlimited pricing schemes (including random weight capability).  Previous order information is at your fingertips and can be incorporated in new orders.

Order Control can connect all departments involved in servicing the customer.  It will even interactively notify you when a customer exceeds their credit limit.  You will produce accurate, timely billing and eliminate repetitive data entry due to the integration with Accounts Receivable.  You will also achieve price and cost consistency automatically because of the integration with DSI's Inventory Management.

We've come a long way in Production Distribution!

The Commission/Brokerage application is designed to compliment the Distribution system.  This application allows for the payment of commissions on dollars, quantities, or a combination.  Flexibility of commission/brokerage rates is accomplished with user defined rates and rate assignment tables.  Any calculated commission/brokerage is maintainable by using adjustments associated with reason codes.

• Commission tables by Product Group, Product Type, and Item
• Tables may be assigned to multiple divisions, to salesperson/broker, or to a customer (bill-to or ship-to)
• Rates established for a specific time frame utilizing effective dates
• Rates may vary by quantity or dollar amount
• User defined commission payable dates:
• Pay when order invoiced
• Pay as payments received
• Pay when invoice paid in full
