of four definable tables, usually called: Colors, Patterns, Fabric,

and Brands. Priced modifiers are available. Multiple colors can be

selected.

UpchargesUpcharges

Upcharges—An optional level of selection, upcharges are item-

specific selection lists containing descriptions and pricing for

exceptions to item pricing. For the selected item of Formal, choices

might include: Lined, Unlined, Sequins, Beads, and Fur Collar.

Multiple upcharges can be selected. Upcharge price types include:

flat, +/- amount, +/- percentage, dimensional, and quantity (i.e.,

upcharge per pleat).

Marking-in an order consists of selecting a Department, Category, Item,

Modifiers, and Upcharges for each garment. By defining the price table

for an elaborate mark-in, the process might include the following

selections: Dryclean, Pant, Jeans, Blue, Solid, Denim, Chaps, Cuffs. For

shirts it might include only: Laundry, White. Price table structures can

be made to be small and streamlined, or large and complex as desired.

Price table complexity increases result in longer mark-in times.

PRODUCTION STEPS

•

STEP 1: Receive Orders—STEP 1: Receive Orders—

STEP 1: Receive Orders—The Quick [1] button is optionally used to

speed up the entry process during high-traffic times or when full

order mark-in occurs at a location other than the front counter. The

result of this step is a non-priced order with limited information

such as Customer, Department, and number of Items. A bag ticket

and customer claim check with a unique barcoded ticket number is

also printed. Status = Quicked.

Orders initially received using the Quick function must be

subsequently marked-in using the Detail [2] button then scanning the

bag ticket. Detail is a mandatory step that can be used directly,

bypassing the Quick step altogether. The Detail step fully prices

and describes received items. The result of this step is an automati-

cally printed order invoice and claim check containing all neces-

sary information needed to track, assemble, and sell the order. The

printed invoice contains a unique barcoded invoice number. Status

= Detailed.

Price quotes are available using the Quote [5] button. This

optional production step is the same as Detail, but without requiring

initial customer selection. A quote can then easily be turned into a

detailed invoice at the end of the quoting step. No Status is associ-

ated with this function, unless it is converted to a detailed order.
