Sidebar Buttons Explained

Select a Report Button

  • A variety of detailed and summary reports.

New Category Button

  • Allows quick entry of new product categories not currently in your list.

  • Your clever use of categories allows you to group items together for future sales and inventory reports (e.g. Glassware, L/E Print, Oil, Memorabilia).

  • See: Set up Retail Categories

Edit Category Button

  • Useful when you need to move a group of records in a category to a new category.

  • Presents a dialog box with a drop-down menu of your existing categories. Select the Category you wish to change and then type in the new Category name. Click OK. The old category, which has been replaced, no longer appears in your drop-down menu of Categories. It will, however, remain in your drop-down Category field in the Invoice file. Editing the list helps to create more useful reports.

Post to Purchase Order Button

  • Adds the current product to a new or existing Purchase Order. FrameReady chooses a quantity based on the product's Reorder field value (if the product's Reorder field is empty, the quantity added to the Purchase Order is one.)

Note: this feature does not work with a found set.

  • If you have not identified a vendor, you will be prompted to do so. This same button appears on the Price Codes > Auto Inventory tab in each group, i.e. Moulding, Matboard, etc.

Add Products Button

  • Enter or update a large number of products (readymades, prints, giftware, etc.) from an existing file in either Excel (.xls) or Comma-Separated text (.csv) format.

  • See also: How to add Retail Items from a Catalog

Important: The Qty field cannot be imported.

Mark Found Set

  • The Mark Found Set button puts an X in the Marked field of all the records in the current found set.

  • See also: How to Work with a Found Set

Print Text Directory

  • Prints a directory of all retail products or a directory of the current found set.  

  • For example, if you wanted to print a directory of all items supplied by ABC Crafts Ltd, you would first use the Find function to locate all record listing ABC Crafts as the supplier. Then switch back to Form View and click Print Text Directory.  A dialog box appears allowing you to Sort the records before printing.

  • Printed fields include: Item No, Description, Artist, Supplier and Price.

Print Image Directory

  • Prints a two column directory of all retail products that have accompanying images.

  • Printed fields include: Thumbnail photo, Description/Artist (Title, Medium, Barcode), Price.

Duplicate Series 

  • Creates multiple records for Limited Edition (L/E) prints. Enter one print with as much information as possible including the edition # (Eg. 100/5000). The button presents a dialog box to enter the last item in the series. (E.g.. 125/5000). A duplicate record is then created with edition numbers. (E.g.. 101/5000, 102/5000, etc. up 125/5000)

Wholesale Value Calc 

  • Opens a dialog box requesting a percentage (use decimal form) to calculate the initial wholesale cost when converting or updating a Work Order to a Product item.

Delete Product

  • Removes the current record. A warning dialog box  appears first, asking you to confirm your intention to delete the record.

  • The automatic default is Cancel. To delete the record you must use the mouse and click on the Delete option.
