Sage 100

We have a new prospect in Restaurant Supply. $20m, 5 warehouses. They are down the road with Infor sx.e, which I think will be 4x the price of Sage 100 (but it seems slick!). Two needed functions I'd like tighten up: 1. warehouse transfers. Does anybody know of an enhancement that goes beyond the OOTB transfer? Looking for an internal Order/Receipt process. 2. Handling item costing that also considers quarterly vendor rebates. Thanks for any suggestions here at all!

Does anybody know a B&G Restaurant Supply in NY and MA? They apparently use Sage 100 in an environment very similar to my prospect's.

ACS has a warehouse transfer mod, not sure if it's ready for primetime, but it's worth an ask. not sure on the other, but ask Ron Jacobs, he might have done something before.

Thanks. I'll look into it.

Jerry: We have several Restaurant Supply clients using Sage 100 and we have also created an integration between AutoQuotes and Sage 100. If you would like to talk about our clients handle items 1 and 2, please feel free to contact Annette Manias, Oasis President and she will be glad to discuss with you. Let me know if you would like her contact information.

@PamScott . Wow! Excellent. Yes, I would like to discuss that with Annette very soon. How does she prefer me to contact her?

Jerry, I agree with Karen on the ACS offering. It's called in-transit tracking and is bundled (or optional) with the multi-bin enhancement. They did unbundle it for me for a specific customer, so I know it exists standalone. That was done in v2013.

@JerryNorman - Can you elaborate a bit more regarding costing with quarterly rebates??? Not sure where you want to go with this.

I don't have much on this. They have some suppliers that offer rebates for purchases beyond a threshold in last quarter. I think they want to apply that rebate to their Std Cost in the current quarter. Competition in this includes Infor sx.e and Epicor Eagle. Both are aimed at verticals like this one, and I gather from my research that they have functionality to do this. I can see how this could turn into a can of worms easily, which is why I'm particularly interested in finding folks who have successfully sold to such businesses.

Rebates can get funky. I have a client that keeps track of rebates via an Access database and scripting. If an item is sold that has a rebate associated with it, the vendor promotion code is written to a line UDF which can be used for future reporting purposes. In an added twist, since pricing is based on standard cost, the script takes the rebate amount into account when computing the sales price. Wild, but it seems to work for the client.
