Sales Check Modules – November 2012 (VBA/Excel) XML data was available for download from a website. This data contained all transaction information for the

activation system used for all products. After this information was put through the activation system, it would need

to be entered again into the point of sale system. A new process was created to double-check the accuracy of

items entered into the point of sale system. All XML data was downloaded from the activation system, imported

into the sales check program, and compared against the data from the point of sale system. Due to the ever-

changing nature of the industry, this program was broken into pieces to prevent total obsolescence. This program

eliminated the need to check every single item for accuracy. Without the program, this process would take 1

hour per location (46 locations). With the program, it would take 5 minutes to run each module (not counting

XML collection)

This was the splash/main screen of this program. The various functions were spread across the tabs. New Day Wizard: Format

the program for a new day of data (performing various tedious formatting functions). Convert XML to Excel: Read hundreds of

individual external XML files, and import the data into a single Excel Sheet. XML Entries: The report generated by the

conversion. No Contract: Identify sales data in the XML files indicating that a sale was processed without a contract.

Mismatched IMEIs: Identify sales for which the incorrect device serial number was used. Non-Renewable Features: Identify

certain patterns of sales that were not commissionable, or commissionable in a different way. Mobile Share SDF: Identify

certain patterns of sales that were not commissionable, or commissionable in a different way.
