Inventory Control POS Software Manual

02. Getting started

You have installed the Business Inventory Manager Pro on your workstation: If installed in the default directory, you will find the software in C:\Program Files\SMS Software\Inventory Manager Pro. When you run the application for the very first time, you will be asked to:

1. Create a New Inventory first: If click YES, an empty inventory is created in the selected folder. If the NO button is selected, you must Browse for a valid Default Inventory. Then, either choose the default file InvManPro.sms02 in the application directory or open an existing file. The Business Inventory Manager Pro Files are of type *.sms02.



2. Enter Company Info: You will be required to enter the Company Information plus the PO Tax Rate, PO Notes, Sales Tax Rate, Sales Notes and Sales Payment Terms.



3. Set a Default Employee for Purchase Orders and Invoices: Every time you create a new Purchase Order or Invoice, the employee will be defaulted to your selection. You can do this then or later. If need to set a default employee, you will have to enter the employee detail first. To do so, click on the New Record button (the button with a Plus Sign on it): An Employee popup will appear where you can enter the detail.
