Tracking sales and creating receipts

My home business needs to track sales and print receipts for customers. Can Numbers do that? If yes, how do I set it up? If not, what's a good alternative?

Numbers can do that. How to set it up is too broad a question for this forum because it would take a booklet to describe it and the set up would be different for every business. Basically you'd need a table to list the sales and separate tables for the invoices. (If Page could merge Numbers data, it would be a lot easier.) You might also need separate tables for each customer, it all depends on what your invoices cover.
There is an invoice template built-in to Numbers if you look. (Do you have the program or the 30-day trial? If not, get it.)
Go to iworkcommunity.com to find some invoice templates or go to the Microsoft Excel website and borrow some excel invoices.
Try Filemaker's Bento for a database solution, but you'll need Leopard to use it.
Try a program devoted to invoicing, like MYOB Accounting. If you go to the Downloads section of the Apple website and search for 'invoice' you'll find other programs.
good luck

Generare e-mail status by tracking Delivery and Read Receipt?Challenge

Hi,
I got bit confused, How can I came to know that my e-mail has been successfully sent or not without opening my inbox.
Am sending 50,000 mails per day by using java mail sending program, while sending I am enabled Delivery and Read receipt and I saved message-id in database and I got that receipt back to my inbox.
Then I am reading my Inbox using another java program based on message-id concept, And also I need to parse the body of the mail to update the reason if any message failed.
Here my Inbox received more than 1 lac mails per day as receipts. Because am sending 50,000 mails, So, I got 2 receipt mails for 1 mail, totally 50,000*2=1lac mails in Inbox. My problem is, my reading Inbox java program not able read all 1lac mails at one day. It just reading 5,000 mails per day. When my next day mail sending process started, again i am getting another 1 lac receipts.
Since I am not able to read and delete the receipts completely, mail counts in my inbox getting accumulated. So, I got stuck, How can I do this?
If anybody have any other ideas please share with me.
Already I surfed on net lot, but I can`t find solution for this concept.
Thanks in advance.

I think the big question is why can you not read and remove the mail more quickly? What limits you to reading only 5,000 messages per day?
Also, is this about Oracle Communications Messaging Exchange Server (formerly known as Sun Java Messaging Server)?
If so, please include the output from the "imsimta version" command.
If not, you probably should ask in the JavaMail forum: JavaMail

Hi EJP,
step 2: Taking total inbox length using message.length
The message count is available via Folder.getMessageCount*().//ok I will try this one.*
step 3: In for loop, for(i=0; i < = n; i+){+ //--here we are getting mails one by one
That should be i < n, not i <= n. *//here I was wrongly specified, I used i<n only.*
step 5: In that mail body we are searching our own unique keyword(which we set for our unique mail reference)
Searching how?
In order to find the keyword, we are getting entire text/plain mail body using below method,
//To get body plain/text body part start here
     public static void getTextPlainBodyPart(Part p) throws Exception {
          if (p.isMimeType("text/plain")) {
               if (!(showStructure) && !(saveAttachments)){
                   lstr = (String)p.getContent();
          }else if (p.isMimeType("multipart/*")) {
             Multipart mp = (Multipart)p.getContent();
             level++;
              int count = mp.getCount();
              for (int i = 0; i < count; i++){
             getTextPlainBodyPart(mp.getBodyPart(i));
              level--;
//To get body plain/text body part end hereAbove method will return entire body of the mail in one string variable, Eg: String mailBody;(*mailBody variable contains entire body)*
Then using mailBody variable we are searching our own keyword(which we set for our unique mail reference while sending mail) using below technique,
if(lstr.indexOf("!$*#*$") != -1 && lstr.lastIndexOf("$*#*$!") != -1){
KeyWord = lstr.substring(lstr.indexOf("!$*#*$")+3,lstr.lastIndexOf("$*#*$!"));
//to get reason alone
if(lstr.contains("Reason:")){
     Pattern p = Pattern.compile("Reason:\\s([^\\n])*");
Matcher m = p.matcher(lstr);
boolean result = m.find();
     while(result) {
        reason = m.group();
         result = m.find();
//System.out.println("Reason:>>>>"+reason);
}else{
     reason = "";
}After getting that keyword in KeyWord variable,
then we are updating our database using that KeyWord,(here we are using KeyWord variable in where condition in update query)
Note:_ KeyWord is nothing but, we were stored all our unique keyword against every mails while sending.So, If when get that keyword while reading the receipts,then we can update our table using that same keyword.
guide how can I do this effieciently. And if you any other new concept please share with me.
Thanks in advance..

Logic X keeps creating tracks automatically. What can I do to stop this? No matter what I do logic x keeps popping up the create track window, and creates multiple piano tracks even if I click "Cancel".

The window where you create a new track pops up. The one with "software instrument" or "audio" or "drummer" or "external midi" or "guitar of bass" keeps showing up on its own. Then I can choose to "Create" or "cancel" but no matter what I click, it creates a new track, then the process repeats over and over. I now have like 30 piano tracks that I don't want. And it doesn't stop . I'm going mad

Re-route sales and cost of sales for shipments to vendors.

We are increasing a process where we will ship raw materials to a vendor, they will use this material in production for a finished good that the vendor will sell back to us. It is not sub-contracting, since we would sell these raw materials in bulk. This is also not our normal course of business, so we can not have these shipments mixed in with our regular sales and cost of sales accounts.
We would like to ship these materials out on a delivery and set up a receivable from our vendor, but do not want to record the billing / pgi transaction in regular sales / cost of sales. We have a method to re-route the sales, but from the cost of sales side the possibilities I see are only valuation class.
Does anyone else have a good process for re-routing sales and cost of sales where the process will consistantly re-route cost of sales whenever the sales account is re-reouted?
Thank you!

Hi Elex,
I Appriciate your interest in giving clarity while posting a thread.
Since you are already using REFX and SD is not implemeted, the best option is go a head with REFX module only.
Try to create a saparate Contract type as "Real Estate RES. Sales" and create various conditions related to "Sales" based on your business requirement, (Because we dont have any special pricing procedure to adopt in this ).
As per my understanding you can use the below conditions as an example :
RE Sale Price
RE Sales Installment
RE Sales Discount
RE Sales Commission...etc. based on your pricing you can add the conditions.
All the above charges you can make as one time charges based on your business requirement except Sales installment.
Even though rental objectis sold but the propery is located in your premises you mught have provideing some services to the sold property as well, so you can add one more condition type as
RE Common maintenence / Annual maintenence charges( which is recurring ).
Adopting this process in REFX module will be one best advise for RE SALES.
Based on your requirmeent you can integrate the REFX with PS ( for new devolopments / constructions / porjects ) & Pm modules for services.
Since you are already using REFX leasing process its like entention of the existing process.Hope it may helps you.

Tracking sales, customer retention and Inventory management

Hi,
I own a t-shirt screen printing business and am looking for a solution to help me track sales, categorize customer information and manage inventory. I'm still relatively new to numbers 09 so I'm trying to determine if this program can help me achieve my desired end result.
I conduct two different types of business; wholesale printing and online sales.
I offer wholesale printing for local companies such as pizza shops, churches, family events etc. They typically have a design prepared and order 50+ t-shirts at a wholesale price. Pricing is determined by a lot of different factors such as; amount of t-shirts ordered, number of colors in print, number of print locations.
Online sales, refers to a line of t-shirts I created myself and sell directly to customers. I sell through multiple online mediums such as; etsy, ebay and my dot.com. Each of the sites I sell through has a different set of fees associated with the transaction. For example, when selling through etsy; for each transaction etsy takes a % of the sale, plus a predefined insertion fee for posting the listing. When a customer is making a purchase through etsy they have two payment options; etsy's direct check out, or to pay with paypal. When the customer opts to pay through etsy's direct check out; there is a % fee etsy charges, as well as a predefined processing fee (in addition to the original % fee and insertion fee I mentioned above). If a customer through etsy opts to pay with paypal while checking out, then there is a different % fee as well as processing fee that paypal will charge. Also, both etsy's and paypals checkout methods charge a different % fee and processing fee if the package is being shipped to an international destination. Ebay's fee structure is similar to etsy ie; a % fee and insertion fee, as well as a seperate % fee and processing fee that paypal charges.
Wholesale printing only makes up about 10% of my business so I can pretty easily track those sales as is. Retail sales makes up the other 90% of my business and has become difficult to manage.
Etsy, ebay and paypal all keep transaction details that can be downloaded in csv files. In the past I have found it difficult to organize all that information and make sense out of it because its coming from multiple sources. I'd like to have one program to track all my online sales and customer information and present in in a nice neat fashion.
That's where a program like numbers 09 comes into play, hopefully. To keep track of blank inventory I would like to organize and keep track of all the different blanks shirts i have in stock. Say for example I print on a blank gildan brand shirt that is called GL2000, I would like to have a category for the GL2000 as well as a sub category for the different colors of that shirt I have (blue, black, brown, green etc.), as well as another sub category for the different sizes (small-5xl) available in each of the different colors. I would like to have a separate spreadsheet listing all the finished goods (printed shirts), along with the sizes available for that design on hand. Then, when I print new shirts and enter them into the finished goods spreadsheet, I would like it to subtract that amount from the corresponding blank shirt spreadsheet. For example; I have some designs I print on brown shirts and I would need to create a formula that knows that that particular design is on a brown shirt and not green or some other color. That way as I print more shirts I will have a running inventory of both finished goods as well as what I still have left in stock as blank shirts.
Then I'd like a spreadsheet for me to enter in all the relevant sales data as it comes in. I was envisioning entering the data into that spreadsheed right as I'm shipping out the order. It makes perfect sense because all the information I'd like to track and organize is readily available on the screen when I am creating the shipping label. I would like the spreadsheet to keep track of; Sale date, ship date, item sold, item size, buyer id, transaction id, first name, last name, address, city, state, zip, country, price, coupon (if used), shipping, total (price + shipping), how much the shipping label cost, site item was sold on (ebay or etsy), etsy fee if sold on etsy (% of price + predefined insertion fee), ebay fee if sold on ebay (% of price + predefined insertion fee), refund (if applicable... also if a refund is issued, it would have to automatically adjust the total as well as fee, after entered), sales tax (would only apply if they entered the sate I do business out of in the state column), ebay processing fee, (for etsy transactions) a checkbox to inform the spreadsheet if the etsy transaction was paid through paypal or direct etsy check out (because of the different fees associated with each.) then a corresponding cell with the correct processing fee, it would also have to take into account which country the item was being shipped to and apply the correct fee associated with that country for either of the check out methods; etsy or paypal, then a total after all fees, then possibly a total of all fees paid.
Like I mentioned before, I'm relatively new to numbers 09. I have made some progress in creating the spreadsheets but feel there is a steep learning curve when defining some of the formulas and functions of the program. I'm still not sure if numbers 09 will be able to do all that I need it to do in the end, so I wanted to ask if it is possible before I continue working on it.
Any help would be appreciated. Are there any books I could study to learn the program better? I just picked the apple pro training series for iwork 09 but found the numbers section was mainly for beginners and didn't go over some of the more complex functions I'd like to learn about. I searched for other training material but couldn't find any.
If numbers 09 isn't a suitable program for what I'm trying to accomplish, any suggestions on what program to use? I've looked in to quick books but wasn't sure If I could do something similar with numbers. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Thanks a lot Mahesh for your reply. I just tried your answer: I've assigned the CRM Service User license to the user, on top of the CRM Sales user license. But still same problem.
Can you let me know where you can view the exact license chart? The link I have posted above seems a bit outdated as it does not reflect the actual license limitations.

When I download a long album from ITunes containing like 20-30 tracks, why does ITunes sometimes segregate one track and create a separate album out of it. I can merge the track into the other tracks on a playlist, but I can not merge the 2 albums.

When I download an opera album with lets day 40 songs (tracks). Why does iTunes create one album of tracks lets say 1 through 22, skip 23 and then 24 through 40. Then a separate album with track 23 is created. I can merge them together in a playlist but not as a single album. I go into the info under the file menu for each and make sure the information is the same but they still will not merge.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

Sales Order Created with one SH and want to change SH before delivery

Hi SAP Experts,
I need your confirmation on this.
today our Business is following a concept of Multiple SH.
description:
while creating a sales order the SP and SH are same.
at the time of delivery we might have a chance to change the SH here all the addational SH will be assigned to original SP.
so for changing SH we will go once again to VA02 and change the SH, but at the time when we created a sales order SP and SH are same and they have attracted VAT @ 14 %.
when you are changing only SH, then if VAT is applicable then every thing is ok i can proceed by changing the SH and creating condition record and relevant taxes will trigger there in sales order first and then in billing next.
if CST 2% is applicable for the new changed SH then its an issue to me.
I want your valuable sugggestions experts
balajia

relevant taxes will trigger there in sales order first and then in billing next
Once any subsequent document is generated for a sale order, then even if you change the SH, tax will not be redetermined in sale order, since it will become grey. Of course, the revised tax structure will flow to your billing which is subject to your copy control in VTFL where if you maintain "G" for the field Pricing Type.
if CST 2% is applicable for the new changed SH then its an issue to me
The above explanation holds good for this also.
Needless to mention, in such circumstances, I prefer to have sale orders based on SH so that such manual intervention can be avoided.

Reconfigure sales BOM deletes line item and creates new line item

We are having issue with Sales BOM. Once sales BOM is reconfigure, line item is automatically deleted and creates new line item. These changes are not captured by reporting tool. Is it standard SAP behavior? if its not standard behavior, how to fix this issue?

Hi,
If i am not wrong, i assume you are using site instead of plant. If it is plant , then "yes", we can have a order with same material being line item 10 and 20 with different plants. Reg delivery, if the plants are configured to a same shipping point then you will have one delievery. if the plants are configured for a different shipping point , then delivery will be split up.
Reward if it helps,
Thanks & regards,

Merge PR (same sales order) and Create PO using BADI

Hi,
How to merge PR (of same sales order) and create PO using Tcode ME59n.
Is this possible using BADI?
pls reply.
A Rahim.

Hello Deepak
This kind of issue is probably related to your rescheduling settings. The PO is probably excluded from the rescheduling settings on customizing or it is outside the rescheduling horizon.
Please take a look on the following WIKI that explains the rescheduling and the related settings in detail:

Track changes in customer material info (VD52) and create custom IDocs

Dear experts,
we want to track changes, which are made in VD52 (Customer matertial info record) and create custom IDocs (Z-format) based on these changes. What is the best way to do this?
Best regards,
David

Hi,
There are a dedicated BTEs (Business Tranaction Event) for this purpose (transaction FIBF).
- created customer material infos OUTBOUND_CALL_00504001_E
- changed customer material infos OUTBOUND_CALL_00504002_E
- deleted customer material infos OUTBOUND_CALL_00504003_E
You can assign your own FM to the BTE and send custom IDoc whenever there is a new/updated/deletd customer-material info record.

I am having trouble bouncing and creating an aiff file that plays back. I've checked my output settings, and although I am able to create MP3s, the aiffs are blank. The happens when I try to export a track as an aiff file - it's blank.

I am having trouble bouncing and creating an aiff file that plays back. I've checked my output settings which appear to be correct. Although I am able to create MP3s, the aiffs are blank. The happens when I try to export a track as an aiff file - it's blank.

When bouncing, do you use the Key Command or the button on the Output Channel Strip? The Key Command only bounces from the Stereo Output. The bounce button bounces from the Channel Strip it is on. So if you want to bounce out outputs 3-4 or higher, don't use the key command, but the button.
The strange thing here is that Logic, when it bounces an MP3, first bounces an AIFF, which at the end of the bounce process is being converted to MP3, so I can't imagine how you can get a silent AIFF and a normal MP3.
How have you listened to those bounces? iTunes? Quicklook? Quicktime?
