Greetings!

This past month, we've released an updated version of HQ Corp and HQ Store that enables the inventory transfer functionality, allowing a customer to transfer inventory between two stores that have HQ Store installed.  In this newsletter, we'll be going over how to use this functionality.

Additionally, we have news about a convention we'll be attending, as well as a brief tutorial on using pictures with your inventory.
Store Inventory Transfers

Store Inventory Transfers are handled within the new version of HQ Store.

Generating a Transfer:

To transfer inventory FROM the store you are at, select Generate a Store Transfer from the menu.  This will bring up a screen from which you may do the following:

To start a new transfer, press the 'New' button.  To reopen a partially completed transfer, select it from the dropdown box and hit open.
 
You should set the destination store's ID in the To Store ID field.  Attempting to receive the transfer in a store other than the one listed here will result in a warning when receiving, but this warning can be overridden.
 
You may then scan items in the "Scan/Enter Item Number" box, or you may search for items to add.
 
If you need to remove an item from the transfer, select the item in the grid and press the delete item button.
 
When you are ready to transfer, you should first print a transfer report by hitting view/print transfer.  This will give you a transfer invoice.
 
Finally, you should hit the transfer items button.  This will complete the transfer from the point of view of the generating store's POS system, and will place a file in the export directory that should be sent to the receiving store.

Receiving a Store Transfer

First, you must have a file generated from another store.  If the current store was not the designated one at time of generation, then you will receive a warning and must override it in order to receive the inventory.

Second, you will then want to receive items from that invoice.  You may receive all expected quantities by hitting receive all, or individual items by scanning them into the box in the bottom center.

You may cancel the transfer at any time before completing it by hitting the cancel transfer button.  You may also see a report on the transfer by hitting the View/Print Transfer button.
After you are completely finished with the transfer, hit Complete Transfer and it will take effect in your inventory.
On the Road Again

Extreme Software Corporation representatives will be at the International Christian Retail Show, from July 12th through the 15th at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.

Stop by booth 831 and see us if you're at the show!
Loading Pictures for Items

You may associate a picture with an item in inventory maintenance.  In addition to providing a way to visually match up an item with its record, this picture can be used and displayed with the customer display application.  (Note that the picture does not have to be of the item itself - you can place a related advertisement's picture on the item.)

To do this, go into inventory maintenance and to the specific item for which you want to add or change the picture.  Go to the optional tab, and hit load picture.  You will then be given a file dialog, in which you must browse to the picture file you want to use.

Once that's done, hit the update button, and you're done with that item!
Supported customers with licenses for HQ Store may contact support to get the updated version of Corp/Store.  Store transfers functionality requires version 2.06.0028 of ExtremePOS/Musicware/Praiz.

For customers on an update plan, the most recent version of the software is 2.06.0028.
