Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Complete the following steps to create a new counter sale in EMDECS:
- Open the Parts menu
and select Counter Sale Manager.

- Click on the Add New Counter Sale link.

- Your user's default location will be displayed in the
pop-up window. You can enter a different location in the text field,
as required. Enter a customer name. EMDECS will search
automatically. Select the customer from the drop-down list.

The top pane of the counter sale displays general
information, including a counter sale number and customer, the location,
sale date, and optional ship to, reference, PO #, and notes fields.
A summary of charges is displayed on the right hand side.

If the parts are being shipped to an
alternate address, click on the "Add New" hyperlink to create a
ship to address that is different from the customer's address.
- Click on New Location , fill out the
location details, and click OK .

- Once a new location is added, it is available to be
selected for use as the counter sale ship to address.

- To add parts to the counter sale, enter a part number
or part description in the part # field, then click on the matching search
result.

- An on hand summary is displayed on the right hand ride,
for reference. Adjust the quantity, as needed, and click Add
Part to add it to the list at the bottom. In this example,
I've added a part with a core.

Both the main part and its core have
been added to the counter sale. Repeat these steps to add additional
parts to the counter sale.

- At any time, you can click on the Estimate button at the bottom to print a PDF of an estimate to provide to your
customer, prior to invoicing.
