Entering The Order

GlassPro has been designed to provide you with the fastest possible order input routines. The screens are logically laid out, intuitive and easy to follow. All of the input fields are continuously displayed, as is a scrolling box summary of the items previously entered. If you are interrupted while inputting an order, you can see exactly where you left off. When you have finished entering an order, you can scroll up and down the list of items checking the details.



By prompting default values, operator input is minimised, and pressing the ( Escape ) key at any stage accepts the defaults and proceeds to the next item. Order entry can be accomplished quickly from the computer's numeric keypad.



The flexible and easy to use order entry system caters for cut glass, sealed units, tempered glass and units, multi - layer laminates ( up to 10 leaves of glass ), processed glass, stock sheet merchanting, auto - glass and a full range of stock items including silicones, putty, fixings, mirrors and widgets! The integrated stock control system means that materials are allocated and issued from stock, and the operator is kept informed of the current stock levels during order entry.



Manual or free text descriptions and prices can be added to orders. A full page of notes can be added to the order, these can be printed along with the items or instead of the items, useful for a glazing contract or application for payment.

Commonly used delivery addresses can be stored on each customer's record. On cash sale accounts the customer's name and address are transferred to the sales ledger to make it easier to match deposits and cash receipts against invoices.

For security the identity of the operator entering an order is recorded on the order, and is stored on the transaction details which are posted across to the accounting system, sales and nominal ledger. Urgent orders can be coded for special treatment.

Invoices can be presented in a variety of ways -

• each item line can be individually priced, the rate per m² is drawn automatically from the chosen price list or customer file, but can then be overridden by the operator with a new rate or discount, or with a fixed price for the item


• a contract price can be entered onto the order as a whole suppressing item prices


• items can be entered and individually priced but when the invoice is printed, the line price can be suppressed so that your customer cannot see the makeup of the invoice


• process work price supplements can be printed on separate lines or incorporated into the price of the glass


• free of charge orders and remakes can be entered and separately analysed within the reporting system.

The system records against each item on the order where the price has come from, as well as who entered and last changed the order.

Overall order discounts and settlement discounts can be stored on the customer's record and automatically added to the order. The integrated accounting programs enable sophisticated sales analysis down to product level with separate analysis of process work charges. Sales can also be broken down by cost centre and / or department.
