DISTRIBUTOR COMPUTER SYSTEMS

SUCCESS 2000

The Distributor Computer Systems, Inc.'s SUCCESS 2000+ System includes the

application software necessary to perform record keeping, inventory control, financial

and sales analysis, management information, and other business functions in a

multi-branch environment.

Our SUCCESS 2000+ System incorporates more than 300 separate functions and

reports that have been specifically designed for your industry. The application software

is organized to handle all aspects of your business needs and includes the following

application modules:

.

> Sales Order Processing
> Automatic Pricing
> Accounts Receivable & Cash Receipts
> Inventory Management
> Purchasing & Receiving
> Branch Accounting and Stock Transfers
> Accounts Payable
> General Ledger
> Sales Analysis

These application modules are fully integrated within the SUCCESS 2000+ System.

Any action taken in one area will automatically be reflected in the records that relate to

all other areas of your business affected by that action. For example, the entry of an

order will automatically update inventory files for all items included in that order. An

invoice updates the accounts receivable, sales database, and general ledger records.

The following is a brief description of the more important business operations handled

by the system including some of the key features and reports available in each.

.

.

Sales Order Processing - The system allows for a wide variety of order types to be

entered within its format. This flexible approach will display or update all appropriate

information pertaining to:

Customer: name, address, ship-to address, normal price code, credit verification, and

terms.
Order line information: Item number, description, substitute if needed, quantity ordered,

quantity allocated, quantity backordered, quantity available, and date needed; pricing

options include, unlimited matrix, customer exception, contract, quantity break by

product, quantity break by invoice, special promotional and manual override.
When applicable, special sales will display along with vendor and purchase order

information, depending upon the type of order being written.

The Kit/Fabrication feature allows you to sell a complex product (a product composed

of other products) at the proper selling price while handling inventory levels

appropriately.

You are able to record serial number/warranty information as necessary at the time you

are entering quantities shipped. Reports will allow you to refer to this information

whenever the need arises.

Override capabilities enable you to change sold-to, ship-to, type, branch, item

description, taxes and to add other charges. In addition to this, all line-item information

can be changed. The system utilizes a unique "short name/reference number" and

keyword approach that can quickly find a product and customer without ever having to

use sytem generated numbers.

.

.

Automatic Pricing - The SUCCESS 2000 + System provides a multi-dimensional

matrix approach to pricing. It uses a controlled, automatic pricing matrix but has

additional pricing capabilities for:

> Customer Exception Pricing by product/product range/product group
> Quantity Break Pricing - By Item and by Invoice
> Contract Pricing
> Promotional Pricing
> Manual override
Matrix and quantity break pricing allow for a great number of pricing formulas to meet

your flexible customer pricing needs. This will enable you to control your selling prices

from two aspects; the customer and the product. You can accurately control what you

will charge each type of customer for every product that he buys.

Contract pricing enables you to negotiate and control non-standard pricing

arrangements with your customers. From this, the system will use the correct price on

every contract order.

Promotional pricing allows you to assign a special price for a particular item for a

specific period of time.

Accounts Receivable - This feature of the system is fully integrated with the order

entry and invoicing functions. Therefore, all accounts receivable records are current as

of the last invoice creation and cash posting.

In addition, the system prepares aged trial balances, open item and balance forward

statements, cash receipt reports, and automatic general ledger updating.

The system will permit you to inquire about a customer's account status at any time

without having to wait for ongoing functions to be completed.

Easy display of detailed customer receivable balances on demand, automatic credit

checking, and single-entry cash posting, all work to control your receivables, improve

your collection efforts and your cash flow.

Inventory Management - Inventory updates are performed as a function of order or

sales ticket entries and purchase receipts. The system will perform a wide variety of

tasks to enable you to control this highly critical distribution function.

It will also supply reports upon which to base important decisions. These areas include:

stock status, stock turnover, inactive items, inventory value based on FIFO and/or

moving average. "Turn and earn" reporting at the company, branch, product group and

item levels will allow you plan and track your business results on a return on asset

basis..

The product history feature will allow you to save almost any characteristic of any

product for as many years (month by month) as you wish. This information can then be

inquired and/or reported at your option.

.

.

Purchasing and Receiving - Based on variables such as vendor terms and

concessions available, historical demand, and service level objectives, the purchasing

system will:

* Recommend how much of each item should be bought

* With your approval prepare the purchase order

* Report which purchase orders are still open

In a multi-branch company, branch transfers will enable you to replenish stock with

excesses from other branches.

.

.

Branch Accounting and Stock Transfers - The system was designed to accommodate

a multi-branch environment throughout all modules. As branches are added,

SUCCESS 2000+ SYSTEM reacts without the need for costly and disruptive software

modification. Accounting, pricing, costing, and reporting are all available by branch.

From order or sale entry through general ledger, branch identity is preserved. Data

entry can be accomplished remotely or centrally without destroying branch integrity.

Special customer and vendor records are maintained for each branch. These records

permit the stock transfer process to flow as normal shipping and receiving without

affecting accounts receivable or payable. Inventory records reflect transfers by month

and year-to-date (both quantity and frequency) and transfers in-transit.

.

.

system has the flexibility to create detailed general ledger accounts and sub accounts

for controlled distribution of finances.

demand. The analysis features include sales by customer, by salesman, and by item or

product group. A variety of reports also analyze customer activity by month and

year-to-date. All sales reports show both gross margin dollars and percentage.
