Dealer Billing from our Central Station

Within the many uses and configuration supported by our software, one that has recently gained some recognition lately is the capability to manage the receivables of your dealer within the same software (primarily bill and receipts).

Millennium is capable to define dealers as ‘Divisions’ and therefore every invoice printed to that customer will contain the dealer “division” information. Some of the reports has the options to print by divisions (Accounts Receivable, Cash Receipts, Recurring Revenue Preview, Sales Taxes Collected/Invoiced, others) so that you can provide the dealer with reporting information about their account.

Also recently we added a set of new fields in order for the central station to define how much does the central station keeps from a recurring revenue record called Wholesale Rate. With this field the central station can define that (for example) 5 dollars our of the 20 dollars charge on a monthly based are for the central station, and the rest for the dealer.

In addition to Wholesale Rate we added a new report ‘Wholesale Billing Report’ This report will list (by division) all of the account billed for defined month/year/cycle. This will list the invoice (by line item) with the amount billed, and how much the central station will keep, and therefore how much will pay to the dealer. This report plus the Cash Receipt will help central station to provide just one more service to their dealers, giving them more advantage over their competitors.

Hidden treasures in our central station software…

Recently one customer complain about how to go thru all his saleitem list to pickup one at the end of the list… knowing that we order by id, and that you can start typing and the software will assist u searching for that item I was not worried about it… that until came to common knowledge that this customer have hundreds of items, and that many of them use similar start character.

Solution: Advance Sale Item Lookup… This form is currently accessible from Invoice/Proposal/Job Cost (inventory section) and can be accessed by pressing ALT + F2 when cursor is in the saleitem field.

With this form the user can refine a filter for group, vendor, item type (inactive, inventory, kids, recurring) and type the sale item ID, allowing the user to filter down to whatever the user feels like…

Custom Dropdown Search - Initial Implementation

As many customers crave for more ways to select information during the data entry process, many of them had express to lookup information by code, other by description (or other available fields). There has always been a struggle to find the perfect lookup field… Well, I think we found it… you select what field you want to lookup by… simply right click the dropdown, select ‘Search by’, and select the field that you want to use.

Whathever u select, this setting is stored per user; therefore every millennium user will select different fields to lookup by within ur system.

Important to mention that not all drop down use this engine, only selected multi-column one will do it for now, however any request is welcome!
