QUICK OVERVIEW
HUMAN RESOURCES SYSTEM
The Human Resources System tracks all aspects of labor costs, including the direct costs of service and installation work orders as well as the indirect costs of loading, training, etc.
While the actual time reported by the service dispatch and billing and installation processes automatically updates the employees� time cards, this application allows you to enter miscellaneous labor entries to ensure complete and accurate job costing. Multiple reports assist in managing the time required for service and installations, labor cost, available human resources, cost of service for warranty and GMA, equipment, and validation of time cards.
With the information stored and maintained by the system, it can be used in several practical ways:
� Provides on-line entry and processing, achieving immediate information verification and prevention of errors.
� Automatic data transfer from order-entry/billing and service/billing applications (daily or upon request).
� Provides the capability to transfer from human resources to New and MAC�s installation, all records related to installation by order #.
� Provides on-line entry of manual and miscellaneous time records.
� Full daily audit trail of all entered transactions.
� Provides accurate control and non-duplication.
� Daily, weekly, and monthly reports (all, selective dates or employees).
SALES LEADS SYSTEM
The Sales Leads System application provides a systematic means for creating, maintaining, and organizing meaningful prospect information.
With the information stored and maintained by the system, it can be used in several practical ways:
� Creating follow-up lists for tracking leads (who to call, when, and where).
� Planning sales campaigns for new products. For instance, prospect and customer information can be categorized and retrieved by product interest. Create a customized letter and mailed it to those sharing a common interest in that product.
� Analyzing prospect performance, broken down by sales representative, sales territory, or advertising and marketing efforts.
Human Resources Entry & Update
(GHUMMENU)
OVERVIEW
The Human Resources application automatically receives the job related time reported in the service and installation processes. Miscellaneous time and time card updating can now complete the time sheet process.

MISCELLANEOUS DAILY RECORDS (Options 1 - 4)
While the Service and Installations modules automatically send labor information from the SR�s and W/O�s, recording alternate types of labor must be entered here to complete the time sheets.
These alternate types of labor are read from a table designed for your company in the initial set up of SAM, and can include any time you want to track, such as :
� Doctor / sick-time
� Meals / breaks
� Loading/unloading
� Shop-time
� Recall
� Travel / trip-time
� Warranty work
Options 1, 2 and 3 allow you to enter, display, and edit/delete miscellaneous time card information, respectively. Option 4 provides a utility with which you can move outdated time sheet information from �current� status to �history� status.
Option 1. Enter Miscellaneous Records
To begin entering miscellaneous time records, the system will first prompt you for :
Technician-# : Enter technician number for which you are entering time.
Job Start-Dt.: Date this job started. The system defaults to the current date, but you can overwrite this when necessary.
Job Start-Tm.: Time this job started. The system defaults to the current time, but you can overwrite this when necessary. Military time must be used; for example, 1:00 pm would be entered as 13:00
After entering the above information, the system will bring up the remaining portions of the Technician�s Daily Time-Sheet Records data entry screen :

COMPLETE TIME-SHEET RECORDS: (Options 11 - 17 & 21)
Option 14 should be used before running reports to ensure current data. The remaining options perform further internal updating, but are time consuming and recommended run frequency is only once a month. When you want to perform the complete update, the sequence of programs to run is as follows :
Step 1. input from service requests . . . option 11
Step 2. input from installation report . . . option 12
Step 3. input from miscellaneous records . . . option 13
Step 4. merge all inputs to controlled file . . . option 14
Step 5. deletes duplicate records . . . option 15
Step 6. display, edit or delete time card information . . . option 16 / 17
Options 11 through 15 maintain the human resources data. With the exception of option 14, these options are time consuming and are ususally run once a month only. They copy and sort information from different sources, eliminate duplicate files, and correlate all data into a meaningful, ordered group.
This ordered group is used by options 16 and 17 when you want to view or edit certain time sheet entries. Option 16 or 17 operate in exactly the same manner as options 2 and 3. The only difference is that options 2 and 3 allow you to view/edit/delete miscellaneous records only, and options 16 and 17 allow access to all records regardless of origin.
After prompting for a range of dates and technician numbers, the system will produce a list of jobs displayed one day at a time, starting with the earliest day. One line per job will outline job status, date, start and completion time, total hours, labor code, SR or W/O #, pay code, activity code, and customer number.

NOTE : �complete� time data is gathered from the correlated data produced in the Human Resources Entry and Update application with option 14. Therefore, this option must be run first to update the necessary files before the reports can reflect the most recent information.
Time usage reports are split into groupings according to labor type. Where options 41-43 and 46-48 provide analyses based on miscellaneous time only, options 61-63 and 66-68 provide �complete� time analyses. These are based on miscellaneous time in addition to that time recorded with service requests and installation reports.
Time usage reports are also split into groupings according to the number of employees. Where options 41-43 and 61-63 include all employees, options 46-48 and 66-68 report on a single technician.

Note, if the user chooses to let the system automatically assign prospect numbers, it is important that a meaningful sequence or series of numbers be established first. For more information see: Chapter 1, Setting Up SAM.
The second field requires the user to enter a �Y� for YES, to verify that a new prospect is being created, or �N� for NO to exit the screen.
PLEASE; Enter the NEW LEAD-# you wish TO ASSIGN
or LEAVE IT BLANK, TO BE ASSIGNED by the system :

Sample Screen: New Prospect Data Entry Screen
With the number accepted or automatically assigned by the system, and a �Y� entered to verify this is a new lead, the CREATE A NEW PROSPECT (LEAD) screen is displayed.
Most of the detailed information about the prospect can be entered at this screen. However, two additional screens have also been provided, to allow the user more space for the entry of follow up notes, miscellaneous comments or lengthy transaction information.
While working with a single screen is convenient, trying to explain it can be difficult. So for discussion purposes we have split the screen into the following sections:
� Section 1 - general information (name and address)
� Section 2 - product information
� Section 3 - contact information
� Section 4 - sales and competition information

THE PROSPECT HISTORY FILE
When a prospect becomes a customer, a copy of the prospect�s record is created and transferred to the Customer Master File. The original record remains in the Sales Lead System, and is still available upon request. The reason for creating a copy is because all the follow up notes, or any comments attached to the record, would be lost when moved to the Customer Master File.
Note, the only change to the original record is the activity code status, which is now �C� for CUSTOMER, and not �A� for ACTIVE. Also the record is now being stored in the Prospect History File, and not the Prospect Master File.
To display or update a record stored in the Prospect History File, select option 21 (from the Sales Manager Menu), and press the RETURN KEY.

Option 1. Enter a NEW Prospect/Lead
You have the option to assign a lead number yourself (if you have established a meaningful sequence for lead numbering as discussed in chapter 1, Setting up SAM) or let the system automatically assign a lead number :
PLEASE; Enter the NEW LEAD-# you wish TO ASSIGN
or LEAVE IT BLANK, TO BE ASSIGNED by the system :
Is this a NEW PROSPECT (Y=Yes/N=No) ? :
When you reply �Y� (your Caps Lock key should be on), the Prospect Data Entry Screen is displayed. For ease of use and maximum flexibility, all necessary information on your prospect is contained in this single screen, but an additional two pages are also available for detailed or lengthy transactions.
While working with this single screen is convenient, explaining it is more difficult, so we split the Prospect Data Entry Screen into different sections for discussion purposes. These include general information (section 1), and information on the prospect�s system (section 2), contact (section 3), sales & competiton (section 4) and follow up (section 5).

Option 2. Update an EXISTING Prospect/Lead
This option allows you to edit the record on an existing prospect. The system will bring up the search engine for you to find the correct prospect record :
PLEASE Enter Partial Contact's First-Name:
or Partial Contact's Last-Name:
or Company's Telephone-Number:
or Partial Prospect's City:
or Partial Company�s Name:
or Existing Lead-Number:
* Partial Contact's First-Name, Last-Name, City, or Company's Name : allows you to enter only the first 3 letters and the Pg-Up key or return-key as many times as required. The system will display a list of the customers with entries matching the 3 letters. You must now enter the correct customer-number and press the return-key to retrieve the correct sold-to customer record.
* Company's Telephone-Number, or Existing Lead-Number Enter the appropriate numbers and press the Pg-Up key or return-key as many times as required. The system will retrieve the correct sold-to customer record directly.
Once you have the correct record in front of you, you can add or edit any information entered previously on the first data entry screen and the two pages of internal notes. After you are finished all corrections, the system will re-organize the data within the file.
Option 3. Enter a Quote (New or MAC�s)
You can enter quotations for installations to prospects as well as existing customers. The method in which you enter a quote into the system is very similiar to the way you enter an install, with a few exceptions :
� For quotations, you only need the prospect or sold-to customer record, therefore you do not retrieve the installation site customers as you do for MAC installs.
� The system will not display the customer�s installed site equipment list.
� The system will not prompt for credit approval, floor plan, programming sheet, etc.
� Following the entry of item detailed lines, the system will present the total agreed amount and total received amount for this quote.
� You will be taken to the billing phases screen immediately after entering the information.
When you want to enter a quote for a specific prospect, the system will first prompt :
PLEASE Enter QUOTE-TYPE : N (N=New instl., M=Move, A=Add & C=Change)
QUOTES FOR NEW INSTALL
You will first be prompted to select one of the following options :
1. Enter all the detailed equipment by Item-Part-Number.
2. Let the computer display the System Product structure.
0. Return to previous menu
Option 1: allows you to manually enter each item individually by item part number.
Option 2 : lets the system display the system product structure (the system kits/configurations are set up in this Installations module, Appliction 6...Product Structure Application). Any and all items, quantities, and/or prices can be overwritten or adjusted for each install.
Now you must retrieve the record of the correct prospect/customer :
Enter PROSPECT/CUSTOMER-#:
PARTIAL PROS/CUST-NAME:
QUOTES FOR MAC INSTALL
You must bring up your prospect�s record by entering the information you have on your prospect or customer :
Enter Pros/Cust#: 0 & Site-# (Optional):
Part. Pros/Cust-Name:
Part. Cust.Site-Name:
QUOTES FOR NEW & MAC INSTALL
Once you have the correct record displayed, the system will prompt for quote information:
QUOTE DATA-ENTRY SCREEN
+ ** Q U O T E - E N T R Y S Y S T E M (DATA-E Y) ** +
� QUOTE-TOTAL: 0.00 Tot.Lab-Hrs: 0.00 �
� Pros/Cust# : 3785 Bill-to#: 3785 Quote-# : 100271 Rep.:701 �
These two lines appear on the top of the screen and will remain throughout the quote. The bottom area of the screen will change as you enter different pieces of information, but these detail lines at the top will remain and keep a running total of your order.
Bill-to : The prospect/customer that will receive the quote. The system default will be the same as the sold-to prospect/customer, but you can overwrite this. ***NOTE: if leasing is involved, the leasing company must already exist in your customer master file. The leasing company�s number would be entered here.
Rep. : The sales representative presenting the quote.
After the bill-to and sales representative numbers are entered, the system displays the sold-to and bill-to customer information. Changes can be made at this time to the sold-to customer information, but not the bill-to customer information: it is only displayed. After this data is entered (or just accepted by pressing pg-down), the system asks for information on the installation site. Follow the instructions on the bottom of the screen.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
At this point, the system will prompt you to enter :
Att.: Cust.P.O.# Quote-Date Instl-Date Tx WH T
Only few lines are required to be entered, any Information not available can just be left blank (for example, the customer P.O. number will be left blank most of the time) .
Att.: Attention to contact person.
Cust.P.O.# Customer�s purchase order number for this install.
Quote-Date Defaults to today�s date, can be overwritten.
Instl-Date Defaults to one month from order-date, can be overwritten.
Tx Tax Code, automatically entered from customer master file.
WH Warehouse expected to be supplying items for install.
T Area of City - geographic location of installation site.
After this information is completed, you can enter :
� installation instructions - 10 lines that will appear on the order and the invoice
� internal comments - 15 lines of free formatted text for internal usage only
Then you enter the detail lines for this order. The detail lines include detailed information on exactly what system and parts you are installing. They can be printed on the invoice, minimizing customer inquiries regarding the performed job. After the item detail lines are completed, the system takes you directly into the billing phases screen.
However, at the point of entering the detail lines, the manner in which you enter a new install using a system kit differs from both a new install part by part and a mac install.
These different methods will be discussed separately :
� Entering mac installs and new installs part by part are discussed from pages
� Entering new installs from a pre-designed system kit are discussed on pages
After both item part entry methods are shown, the billing phases will be discussed, which is completed in the same manner for all new and mac installs. (page 10.56)
QUOTES FOR MAC INSTALL & NEW INSTALL (item part by item part)
After the installation instructions and internal notes are completed, you will be prompted to confirm the system description. For a MAC, the system configuration already exists, and so the description, model and type of system will be displayed; but for the new install, these will first appear blank, ready for your input.

S : Item Status. ex. New, Used, or Repaired/Refurbished (normally there are different prices for each status) Valid codes : N, U or R. Any other code will be converted to N automatically.
W/H #: This field represents the warehouse from which the items came. If the items used came directly from the technician�s truck, the technician�s car-stock warehouse number will be used. For example, the truck for technician 501 will have a warehouse number of 501. This entry will be used to automatically update the inventory files; therefore, if the technician did not have any stock available for a specific item, the warehouse number entered must be the one from where this item should be depleted. You must enter a valid warehouse number to continue.
DESCRIP : The system displays the description of the item matching the item part number from the inventory item master file. You can, however, overwrite this if you need alternate text in this area.
ORD-QTY. : Quantity of this particular inventory item ordered for this install.
NET AVAILABLE QUANTITY (ON-HAND - ALLOCATED) This message appears at the bottom of the screen for your information on the availability of this item.
Unit Price : The item price per unit will default to that matching the item part number in your master price structure. This can be overwritten right now as a special price for this invoice only with no effect on the item master pricing.
DISC% This field refers to any discount given to the customer on this particular inventory item and defaults to amount entered in your item master file control record. This can also be overwritten right now as a discount for this invoice only with no effect on the item master pricing.
EXTENSION This field shows the actual price of the item to the customer, that is, the unit price minus the discounted amount.
L.AMOUNT The line amount includes the extended amount (above) plus taxes for this inventory item.
OKY (Y/N) Okay ? If you answer N, the system will bring you to the beginning of the line to change or correct errors.
*** Please Note that at least one detail line is required for each order to become a valid order, any order without detail lines will automatically be deleted.
Please enter END as item # .. to indicate end of data-entry for this order
After the item detail lines are entered, the next step for these quotes will be the billing aspect, discussed on page 47.
QUOTES FOR NEW INSTALL (by system kit)
After entering installation instructions and internal notes, you now have the opportunity to charge an additional markup on material for this particular work order. If there will be no additional markup, just press the pg-up or enter key.
