Automatic creation of a sales invoice

On December 3, 2020, SKB Kontur announced that the Kontur Market had the opportunity to automatically create a sales invoice.

"Kontur. Market"

According to the company, as of December 2020, retail stores have to issue acceptance of labeled shoes and tobacco twice. First time in the marking system Honest SIGN. The second is in the program in which the store conducts the merchandise of the entire assortment, and not just the labeled one. The Contour Market service now automatically creates a sales invoice based on the receipt document for the tagged item. It now takes a couple of minutes to accept in the accounting service instead of two hours.

When goods with marked goods arrive at the store, a delivery note comes to it in the format of a universal transfer document (PDA) from the supplier. The document lists the marking codes applied to each item in the batch.

The store confirms the APP and reports this to Honest SIGN, the system transfers the product from the sender's balance to the recipient's balance. Only then does the store have the right to put the item up for sale.

Comply with labeling requirements - half a story. The store also needs to add goods to its program for commodity accounting. First, to reflect them in the check. Secondly, for the program to recalculate commodity balances. To do this, the commodity specialist fills out the invoice in the accounting service according to data from the DPE or paper invoice.

Now the commodity expert does not have to manually transfer data from a paper invoice for shoes and tobacco to electronic form. Kontur. The market creates a draft invoice and copies the necessary data from the DAC into it. At the same time, the service correlates the goods from the PDA with the goods in the user's catalog. The matching takes place by barcodes and by item names.

The commodity expert checks whether the service correctly matched the goods. If true, the invoice can be received. If some product is not recognized correctly, the employee makes a replacement. The service will add the barcode from the invoice to the user's directory and next determine the item correctly.

The ability to create technological maps of dishes

The Kontur. Market service has the opportunity to create technological maps of dishes, monitor their cost and consumption of ingredients. This helps cafes, bars and restaurants automate accounting, as well as control leftovers and markups. This was announced on February 7, 2020 by SKB Kontur.

When the restaurant itself prepares dishes and drinks, it needs to strictly monitor the consumption and markup. How many ingredients are purchased and at what cost? How much is used in the dish and how much is left? At what price does the dish need to be sold so as not to lose profits? Our service helps to automatically monitor all these parameters online, told service expert Kontur. Market Tatyana Shchipanova

Based on data from the Kontur. Market, the head of the cafe can plan the purchase of products, monitor the mark-up and control the revenue of bartenders. To do this, you do not need to be in a cafe all day, just open a cloud service from anywhere with the Internet.

Employees can also work in the Kontur Market. For example, create technological maps of dishes. This does not have to learn - the service prompts how to add ingredients from the catalog and offers to choose a portion or weight type of dish. In each technical chart, you can specify the features of preparing or serving a dish on the table.
