The WMS Mobile: a module for all companies that want to cut down inventory costs!

Do you want to cut down your inventory costs? Eliminate losses due to theft or deterioration, reduce returns from customer for shipment of wrong items, lower storage management costs and accelerate your delivery time? Do you want to increase the reliability of your company?

Everyone knows that in Mago.net it is now available the WMS Mobile module that, in the easiest and fastest way given by the use of WiFi handhelds, allows you to know the exact point where the goods are located, to accelerate delivery, pick also grouping together multiple orders and certify that you are getting the right item.

But perhaps not everyone knows... that the use of WiFi handhelds can also be activated in companies in which the definition of the mapping of the warehouse is not a priority. The system makes it possible to define a single location to collect the material and certify only the item  and eventually the lot picked and not necessarily the location where the goods are stored. Proceed with the operation of packing and pack label printing directly from the handheld  is also a breeze.

Right at the beginning, the system was used for transactions between European countries only. Currently it has been extended to special national operations.

Starting from 1993, along with the creation of the European market and the knocking down of the fiscal frontiers, purchases made within the European Union are usually subject to taxation in the country of destination. In this case, the tax is owed by the recipient according to the reverse charge system.

Recently, the European Union has given way to a testing phase allowing each member to apply the reverse charge system also in special sectors of  their National transactions, this in order to tackle evasion. For example, up until 2013 in Italy, Germany  and Austria, reverse charge will be applied on transactions regarding mobile phones and integrated circuit devices. 

Furthermore, the European Union, in  the Green Paper on the future of VAT (published one year ago), opened a debate on the VAT system with the aim of simplifying such system, evaluating as well the possibility to force all countries to apply in any case the reverse charge system on national operations.

From an administration point of view, the question is: what to do when we receive an invoice subject to reverse charge?  Theoretically the invoice should be posted twice, both as received invoice and as issued invoice, in order to post the tax on purchases as well as the tax on sales. 

Perhaps not everyone knows that… Mago.net has always allowed to post the reverse charge in a single journal entry, by using special accounting templates that post the document also in Sale Tax Journal.

Dead time.... Time to change!

Management of timing, manufacturing process and routing steps require every day more and more fast and efficient consumption and supplying of material from and to our company inventory.

Of central importance is the elimination of waste of time, caused by delays especially between purchases and manufacturing activities.

A strong division between purchases and production departments is often cause of those waste and  lead to competitive and economic losses.

But perhaps not everyone knows that ...

Is guaranteed a direct link between manufacturing picking and purchase activities by a proper functionality that can automatically assigns the purchased materials to the desired manufacturing orders.

Each time a Purchase Bill of Lading is saved and before store in inventory its material, Mago.Net automatically shows the detail of all manufacturing orders requiring them.

It is so only needed to choose to allocate this material to one of the involved orders to start the corresponding manufacturing process and picking activities.

Why sailing by sight… when you can go to full sail!

Everyone knows that Mago.net makes available a powerful tool to manage sales and purchases documents: the Document Graphic Navigation.

Nevertheless, maybe not everyone knows that… recently the documents graphic navigation has been improved with new automatic functions, such as:

• collection or payment of a payment schedule to be settled;
• printing accounting ledger card and the customer/supplier account statement;
• printing a customer dunning letter.
