Background -

Northwind Traders is an independent, family-owned business. The company distributes natural pet products in the Northwest region of the country/region. Products are purchased directly from manufacturers and distributed by using its own fleet of trucks.

When the company started, deliveries were within a three-hour radius of the warehouse. Due to regional growth, current deliveries require drivers to stay overnight on some routes. The company plans to open a second warehouse to expand the region and eliminate overnights for route drivers. The company also plans to hire a second group of employees to run operations in this new location. The finance and accounting teams will remain in the original location.

The company uses a third-party system for financials and order management. The finance department stated that the company’s fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30. The mm/dd/yyyy date format is used.

As part of the expansion, the owner plans to upgrade to an ERP system and use Business Central to fulfill the company requirements and manage growth.

Current environment -

• Vendors offer monthly promotions to customers by item, brand, or item category.

• Invoices should show each customer’s base price, the discount amount, and the net price.

Accounts payable -

Requirement -

Customers -

• The sales team must be able to do the following:

o Quickly set up new customers with the proper settings based on customer type. o Identify customers by market type. Customer posting groups will be used to identify which market the customer belongs to.

• Base price is determined by the customer market type.

• The sales department should receive a warning when entering the order if a customer is over their credit limit.

Sales -

• Customer discounts are offered for specific time frames by item, brand, or product category. Discounts should be added to sales lines automatically.

• Discounts must post to a unique general ledger (G/L) account.

• The business needs to be able to track revenue by location, market, and product category dimensions. Locations 100 and 200 will be set as default dimensions on the two warehouse locations. Food, treats, toys, and supplies are the required product categories, which will be set as default dimensions on the item cards. Each customer card will have a default market dimension.

• The sales manager wants to delete canceled orders and automatically archive them.

Accounting -

• The finance department requires that the company has 12 monthly accounting periods per fiscal year.

• Finance department users must be able to reconcile the accounts receivable (AR) subledger to the G/L account at month end.

• AR department users need the ability to settle and close invoices when customers take payment discounts after the payment discount date has passed. AR users should be allowed to accept or reject the payment tolerance.

• Accounts payable (AP) department users must be able to pay vendors by electronic funds transfer (EFT) and use a payment journal batch named EFT to process payments.

Warehouse -

• The sales department and warehouse managers must have visibility into products that are in the process of being transferred between locations.

Accounts -
