TRADING ORGANIZATIONS (CASE STUDY)

A) PROCUREMENT PROCESS

Procurement is the acquisition of goods or services. It is favorable that the goods/services

are appropriate and that they are procured at the best possible cost to meet the needs of the

purchaser in terms of quality and quantity, time and location.

Almost all purchasing decisions include factors such as delivery and handling, marginal benefits and price fluctuations. Procurement generally involves making buying decisions under conditions of scarcity. If a good ERP is available, it is good practice to make use of economic analysis methods such as cost-benefit analysis or cost-utility analysis.

- 7 -



B) SALES PROCESS

Reasons for having a well thought-out sales process include seller and buyer risk

management, standardized customer interaction in sales, and scalable revenue generation.

An advantage of approaching the subject of sales from a "process point of view" is that it

offers the opportunity to use design and improvement tools from other disciplines and

process-oriented industries.

From a seller's point of view, analysis of a sales process can reveal steps in a sale that

are problematic and may allow the predication of numbers of sales based on initial interest.

- 8 -



C) INVENTORY CYCLE

Also termed stock cycle, an inventory cycle is the fluctuation of GDP caused by the

accumulation and the selling of stocks/inventories. If production is greater than demand,

GDP will rise but companies will also accumulate unsold stocks. This will encourage some to

scale back production, cutting GDP even if demand remains constant. An economic cycle is

created and normally the inventory cycle amplifies the existing economic cycle as stocks are

accumulated in good times and production is reduced in bad times.

The inventory cycle for a company is composed of three phases: the ordering or

administrative phase, the production phase and the finished goods and delivery phase. The

ordering phase is the amount of time it takes to order and receive raw materials. The

production phase is the work in progress phase. The last phase is the finished goods and

delivery time to the customer. The inventory cycle is measured as a number of days.

- 9 -



D) ACCOUNTING PROCESS

The accounting needs of a trading business differ from those of a service business

because of the existence of inventory, which is also known as trading stock. Inventory

includes all goods purchased by a trading business for the purpose of resale, which usually

occurs at a higher price than the cost of the purchased item. As trading businesses rely on

buying and selling merchandise, the owner of the business will need to know a great deal more

about the goods handled by the business.

The number of transactions involving stock and the importance of the data collected

about those transactions means that an accounting system will need to be set up to record

purchase and sale of stock efficiently and effectively. Many small businesses use computers

to make recording the purchases and sale of merchandise a lot easier.

- 10 -



PROPOSED PLAN

After the implementation of CLOBS ERP, your entire organization will become tied-up with a

strong centralized ERP network. The ERP will take care of all accounting and inventory processes.

The Head Office will be up-to-date and informed about all day to day activities occurring in your

company.

Every Branch will be having their own local database and in a particular time schedule, it will

be updated to the main branch by the process of synchronization between Local and Server

databases. So that your business can take decisions on behalf of up-to-date information.

- 11 -



SPECIAL FEATURES AND BENEFITS

CLOBS ERP will provide the following exclusive features and benefits especially for you.

Customer’s scanned ID proof and Photo attachment with Sales Invoice.

There may be situations like a customer representative is buying an item

and at a later stage he is not taking the responsibility of that sale. In that case, we

can trace the customer’s photo and Id proof, if needed.

Automatic E-Mail delivery to customer’s inbox on processing a Credit Sale.

The E-mail is for informing the customer that if he has any complaints

against the invoice, he should contact our branch/head office within a particular

period of time. This option will reduce unwanted arguments from the customers in

the matter of credit amount/invoice.

Automatic Purchase Entry/Stock Receipt on Stock Issue.

When a Stock is issued from Main Branch to Sub Branches, it will be posted

to the Branch’s Accounts automatically upon acceptance by the salesman.

Stock availability check from all branches.

So that a salesman can refer a brother branch to the customer for

purchasing an item that is unavailable in his shop/branch.

Unique Part No. for items in all branches

A common customized Part No. can be assigned to the same

Item/commodity from different suppliers, so that the salesmen can avoid confusion

and the item/commodity will be unique in all branches.

Automatic Purchase Order generation and Qty to be purchased prediction.

Purchase Order will be automatically generated based on the fact of fast

movement items/ Re-Order Level.

A Special Report on Allowed Discount and Given Discount.

This will allow you to easily track which salesman had given more discount/

set maximum allowed discount.

Automatic User Account Locking/Unlocking.

Salesman user account will be automatically locked/ unlocked upon

departure/arrival of the salesman. It will reduce illegal use of user accounts.

Special Colour indication for data on edition by someone else.

The system will indicate the no. of editions on a particular data and assign

special colour indications for them.

New/Unavailable Item Requirement Entry (Enquiry List).

A Special form for keeping track of customer demands/enquiry, so that you

can improve your sales benefits. For example, if a customer is asking for some item

and it is not available in the shop, you can just enter its name into this form. So that

- 12 -



it will be forwarded to the head office. So the management will be aware of latest

customer trends/demands.

Centralized Sales Invoice.

All of your valued customers can purchase from any of your branch using the

Sales invoice with a list of undelivered items from any other branch.

Control the level of operations for different user groups.

The administrator can enable/disable the saving/ editing/ deleting/ viewing/

printing functionality of invoices/ any other data.

Stock verification and acceptance by a newly arrived salesman.

This will become possible when stock handover is done by old salesman to

the newly arrived salesman; a special history form is available for that. (If huge stock

exists there, the entire stock will be divided into separate list of particular no. of

items, so that the salesman can verify each list on a day-by-day basis)

SMS Integration functionality is available.

An automatic SMS with greetings will be send to your customer’s mobile

upon an entry of a cash Sale.

Note: SMS Server & Integration charge is applicable.

All system generated reports are customizable according to your needs.

CLOBS ERP MODULES

I. SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION

A) COMPANY MANAGEMENT

a) Company/Branch Master

CLOBS ERP is designed for storing information on the basis of companies/branches.

A company/branch can be an entity which stands alone with its own activities of various

transactions forming the Final Accounts.

b) Divisions/Departments Master

A company may create multiple business divisions in order to market different

products and services. Some companies form divisions based on the types of products or

services, geographic location or demographic market sectors. Corporations often form

separate business divisions as a way to develop a competitive market advantage. Adding a

division allows a company to expand without significantly modifying the company’s existing

corporate structure.

c) Financial Year Setup/Closing

Financial Year/Accounting Period that can start on any day of a calendar year, but

has twelve consecutive months (52 consecutive weeks) at the end of which account books are

closed, profit or loss is computed, and financial reports are prepared for filing.

Financial Year Setup/Closing a financial year is an important process in CLOBS ERP.

During this process, a number of tasks are performed to officially close the year that's just

ended and to prepare for the New Year. Fortunately, CLOBS ERP takes care of nearly all

these processes automatically. In Cloud CLOBS ERP, you use the Financial Year Setup

feature to close your financial year and start a new one.

d) Change Financial Year

If the user wants to generate reports of previous financial year, he can login into

desired financial year by using this option. He can also do the same by logging off CLOBS

ERP and select the desired financial year upon re-Login.

B) USER MANAGEMENT

a) User Groups Master

The entire users of the system are divided into several groups. Only the admin or the

user has sufficient access rights to create new user groups like Accountant, Computer

Operator, etc. By default, an admin group will be there as prefilled data. The users cannot edit

or delete any predefined data.

- 15 -



b) User Accounts Master

The systems allow creation of user accounts and assign credentials for accessing the

system. The admin/user having sufficient access rights can create any no. of users. The user

will be provided with a password. User Account Auto Lock/Unlock functionality is available

upon Employee departure/Arrival.

c) User Access Rights Settings

Here the admin can set the access rights for each user group. It allows

enabling/disabling the functionalities like data saving, data editing, data deletion, view list,

report printing etc. for each form.

d) Change Password

Using this option, a user can change his password. By setting a strong password, his

user account will become more secure. The administrator can reset all the passwords.

C) DATABASE MANAGEMENT

a) Backup Database

A backup is a copy of data from your database that can be used to reconstruct that

data. So it may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. Backups have two

distinct purposes. The primary purpose is to recover data after its loss, be it by data deletion

or corruption. Data loss can be a common experience of computer users. The secondary

purpose of backups is to recover data from an earlier time, within a backup application for

how long copies of data are required.

The user can create backup to any storage device like hard disk, usb drives, flash

drives, floppy disk, etc. In CLOBS ERP it is just a simple process. The user can create

backup into a local or network drive as simple as saving a file.

b) Restore Database

The RESTORE DATABASE command recreates a damaged or corrupted database

that has been backed up using the Backup Database utility. The restored database is in the

same state that it was in when the backup copy was made. This utility can also overwrite a

database with a different image or restore the backup copy to a new database. The whole

database is offline for the duration of the restore.

Caution: Please create a backup copy of database and save it to any storage device

before restoring the database as there may be chance for data loss due to any hardware

failure/unauthorized access etc.

c) Update/Patch Database

This utility is used for applying any updates or patches to the database from the front

end. So that the system will remain up-to-date.

- 16 -



II. ACCOUNTS

A) MASTERS

a) Account Groups Master

Account Groups screen is used for the easy management of the groups of accounts

and ledgers in a tree model. CLOBS ERP is packed with basic Accounting structure and

commonly using ledgers and through this user-friendly screen, you can organize the

accounting structure very effectively. Three options are available for book type (Account

Group) in which General option is for groups, which are not with the characteristics of Cash

or bank accounts. The second option, book type Bank which is for creating group of bank

accounts and the third option, book type Cash is for creating group of cash accounts.

By Default, basic accounting groups and ledgers are preloaded and the route groups

(Asset/Liability/Income/Expense) cannot be edited or deleted.

b) Ledger Accounts Master

Ledger is a means to keep different type of transactions and this is the basic of

Accounting. You can create new ledgers under any of the group given in the Group list. If the

ledger is under the subsidiary group like customer/debtors or supplier/creditors, the address

and other information can be stored in the corresponding forms. List tab enables you to list all

ledgers currently available and to select a particular ledger for alterations. The navigation

keys enable you to pass to the previous or next of the current ledger. Commonly used and

basic ledgers are stored with the software so that the user need not create all ledgers.

B) TRANSACTIONS

a) Receipt Voucher Entry

Receipt voucher for Cash and Bank entries. By default, Bank Receipts and Cash

Receipts are available. New vouchers with different bank/cash accounts also can be created

here. All cash and bank accounts under the groups ‘CASH IN HAND’ and ‘BANK

accounts will be debited but in Payment vouchers, Cash or Bank accounts will be credited.

c) Journal Voucher Entry

All the journal entries or adjustment and transfer entries of account amounts are done

here. The entry method is similar to Receipt and Payment vouchers, but both debit and credit

accounts are to be entered here. New journal vouchers for certain purposes can be created

here.

d) Contra Voucher Entry

Contra entry is not a must in CLOBS ERP because all the entries related to bank and

cash accounts automatically are accounted. But those who are maintaining independent

vouchers for bank to bank, bank to cash, cash to bank transactions can be used in this method.

The entry method is similar to Receipt and Payment vouchers, but both debit and credit

accounts are to be entered here. There is no Received From and Paid to option in Contra

entries, new vouchers with different bank/cash accounts also can be created here.

e) Sundry Receipt Entry

A Sundry Receipt is when we receive money that does not have a bill to allocate it to.

So that we can split and allocate the money to each credit Sale invoices. It will be affecting

the outstanding amount of corresponding customer accounts automatically.

f) Sundry Payment Entry

A Sundry Receipt is when we receive money that does not have a bill to allocate it to.

So that we can split and allocate the money to each credit Sale invoices. It will be affecting

- 19 -



h) Stock Location Master

To manage Stock yards, Warehouses, Shops or Item locations. The name is a must

and the other fields can be entered according to the requirements. It is possible to divide the

Warehouses into many sections and subsections.

B) TRANSACTIONS

a) Purchase Order

The Purchase order is for the order accounting of the selected items to its supplier.

There will be no accounting procedure while the entry is being done. The Stock is also not

added on an Order entry. Except this difference, all other features of the Purchase entries are

available in the Purchase Order. The Proper maintenance of Purchase order and Purchase

entries will help to manage the inventory very effectively and can be controlled from ordering

duplicate. After a Purchase entry referencing the Purchase Order entry, the pending order

quantity with the supplier will be reduced with the received quantity and the Purchase Order

Pending List gives a report of the pending order quantity for the items.

b) Purchase Entry (Supplier Invoice)

The Purchase of any goods related to inventory is being accounted through this

voucher. Both Cash and Credit purchases are possible through this entry. Two vouchers are

available by default, local purchase and interstate purchase. The Stock will be automatically

updated in the entire system (from the retail shop to the main branch).

c) Production Entry (Manufacturing)

This voucher is for producers and manufacturers. Through production entry, the

consumption of Raw materials and production of finished goods can be made very simply.

Like the transfer entry, in production also the Locations can be entered. The left side of the

window is for Raw material consumption entry and right side of the window is for Finished

Goods entry. There can be multiple Raw materials for a single product and they can all be

entered as raw materials in the left side and finished product in the right side.

d) Opening Stock/Stock Adjustment Entry

This form helps to create bulk inventory in a tabular form. Some of the entries are

Item Name, Manufacturer, Opening Quantity, Purchase Rate and Sales Rate. Group, Unit of

Measure and the option Tax can be selected from the drop down list in the columns. The

options Item Name, Unit and Qty are must. Enter the list of items with the said information

and Click on the save button.

e) Stock Transfer/Movement Entry

This option is applicable only for those firms using multiple warehouses or godowns

for storing the inventory. Transfer entries are for transferring the stock from one warehouse

to other warehouses or locations. The transfer screen is very simple to understand and

operate, like other entry screens the selection of the items and method of saving and

modifying the entry is the same.

- 20 -



f) Item Pricing (Barcode generation and printing)

Item Pricing is used for setting the selling price of items and labeling the barcodes to

the products. We can set Retail/Wholesale price as a marginal price or flat rate and upon

saving data, the barcodes will be automatically generated and printed. We can set the

minimum and maximum selling price of an item based on a batch. Also any no. of copies of

barcode can be printed.

g) Sales Quotation

A Sales Quotation aims to create an offer letter that binds the customer. In this type of

document, our stock will be reserved for the customers who are offered the letter.

h) Sales/Customer Order

Sales/Customer order is used for the Sales order processing from the customers and

very similar to a sales entry. There is no accounting procedure going along with the entry by

default and the accounting can be done according to the method of order processing. The

proper maintaining of Customer order and delivery/sales entries will help to manage the

inventory very effectively and can be controlled from making duplicate bills. You can make a

reference of Customer Order entries in Sales/Delivery voucher to make the sales entry against

the customer orders. The sales entry referring the Customer Order gives the pending order

quantity with the Customer and Customer Order Pending List gives a report of the pending

order quantity for the items. Customer Order Registers also will provide the report as per the

particular requirement of the user.

i) Sales Entry (Sales Invoice)

An important voucher and main entity of the business is Sales. Sales entry and billing

should be speedy, simple, informative and error free. CLOBS ERP allows its users to

configure the sales vouchers as and when required. Similar to the Purchase accounting, all the

related entities will be updated while saving the sales voucher. The thorough Study of the

Purchase voucher should be done for the working of the Sales voucher.

j) Debit Note

Debit note is used to account additional debit amount with its details to a party with

whom some transactions are already made. By default in debit, suppliers/creditors account

will be listed. New vouchers can also be created here.

k) Credit Note

Opposite to Debit note, Credit Note is used to account additional credit amount with

its details to a party with whom some transactions are already made. By default in debit,

Customers/debtors accounts will be listed. New vouchers can also be created here.

l) Purchase Return

This voucher is used for accounting the purchase return entries. Even though the

method of entry is very similar to the Purchase Entry, the accounting procedure is very

- 21 -



opposite to the purchase entry. This can replace the entry of goods rejection (can be

considered as Debit Note).It is simple to understand, the purchase entry will be crediting the

supplier but in returns, debiting the supplier and the stock will decrease instead of increasing

in the Purchase Entry.

m) Sales Return

This voucher is used for accounting the sales return entries. This entry is also

considered as the Credit Note Entry, because it manages the stock and accounting entries

together. Even though the method of entry is very similar to the Sales Entry, the accounting

procedure is very opposite. It is simple to understand, the sales entry will be debiting the

customer, but in returns crediting the Customer and the stock will increase instead of

decreasing in the Sales Entry.

n) Delivery Note

A document accompanying a shipment of goods that lists the description and quantity
