Inventory Features
 Inventory Maintenance function allows stock addition, transfers in/out and promo/waste
tracking.
 Vendor Information Maintenance records basic vendor data.
 In addition to ECR data for each PLU, SAM300 provides the following fields for each
PLU:
 A Full Description field is provided to supplement the 16 character descriptor that is
used at the SPS-300.
 The Vendor Product ID# is a 14-character alphanumeric field. You can locate
specific items by PLU Number Lookup, Vendor Product ID# or PLU Descriptor
Lookup.
 Units Of Measure can be indicated with 4-character lot and piece descriptors. Where
large inventory units, such as cases of soft drinks, are broken down and sold in
smaller units, such as 6-packs or cans, small unit sales can be set to deduct from the
master inventory unit.
 At the Minimum Inventory Level you can indicate the quantity where at item should
appear on the Minimum Inventory Level Report.
 Using the Shelf Location field will facilitate physical inventory procedure. You can
print inventory worksheets sorted by shelf location.
 Primary and Secondary Vendors fields allow you to maintain vendor contact
information for each inventory item.
 Track inventory when multi-unit packages of food or beverage items are broken down
and sold in different units of measure. For example, stock cases, then breakdown to sell
12-packs, 6-packs and single units. This feature allows retailers to maintain the inventory
under the largest purchased unit – the “master” PLU, while pieces of the master unit sold
under different barcode numbers are also subtracted from the “master” inventory in the
appropriate quantities.
 Calculates margin of profit percentage, quantity on hand, average unit cost and total cost
on hand.
 Prints barcode labels.
 Records purchase history and sales history for each item.
Inventory Reports
 The Minimum Inventory Level Report lists PLUs where the inventory on hand level is
less than the minimum inventory level.
 The Cost Report extends the value of current inventory and calculates the profit margin
percentage based upon the current selling price.
 The Physical Inventory By Shelf report provides a worksheet for a physical inventory,
organized by shelf number, PLU # or Shelf Descriptor and provides the expected
inventory level.
 Sales History Reports and Purchase History Reports can be printed by date range.
