CASE FOR ANALYSIS
1 This section contains the details of the operations of the Sales and Cash Receipts process at Neat Knits Winter 2 Wear, a specialist clothing store that sells a wide range of woollen products. The business was started in 1998, 3 when Peter and his wife Isabelle were enjoying a weekend at their small hobby farm in regional Victoria. 4 Looking at the green paddocks and the few merino sheep they kept, the idea of selling fine woollen products 5 was irresistible. After making a few enquiries, they found a high-quality supplier and entered into a supply 6 agreement with them in 1999, By early 2002 the business had established itself as a leading brand in both 7 casual and formal wear woollen items. The product range includes socks, jumpers, scarves, beanies, woollen 8 suits, gloves, and a range of recommended detergents and softeners for preserving the original pristine 9 condition of the clothing items that Neat Knits Winter Wear have for sale.
10 Each morning, at 7:45am, Peter arrives at Neat Knits and unlocks his office. As the Store Manager, Peter likes 11 to arrive at work early, so he has time to get ready for the day ahead. Part of his early morning duties include 12 getting the store set up for business. Pete retrieves the daily cash float from the safe and places it in the three 13 sales registers. He writes down the amount of cash placed in each register and keeps the record on his desk. 14 He opens the doors of the store at 9:00am and the day of trading commences.
15 The sales in the store are handled by the Sales Consultants. Each sales consultant is trained to know the 16 details of the different products and different wool types, as well as the specialised cleaning instructions. 17 Customers enter the store and view the different products that are available for sale. The store is divided into 18 sections based on the clothing type and the target audience of the range (men, women, and children). Because 19 the products are fine quality and made to measure, the store only carries a range of demonstration products 20 in different colours and sizes. The sales assistant guides the customer through the different options and also 21 measures the customer for any custom fitting that might be required. Once a customer has decided what they 22 want to purchase, the customer and the sales assistant go to the counter, where the order is processed.
23 When the sales assistant gets to the counter they swipe their staff card and enter their password to unlock the 24 sales register. Because the products are made to order and customised, the first thing the sales person does 25 is record the customer details. These details are stored in the Customer data store. The product numbers, 26 colour requirements, and measurements for the items the customer wants are then entered. As these are 27 entered the price, quantity on hand in the central warehouse, and allowable discounts are retrieved from the 28 inventory data and shown on the screen. If the customer is eligible for a discount (this is based on customer 29 status, which is stored in the customer data and checked once the order details have been entered) the 30 discount is automatically applied. Sales consultants are not able to change any discounts - these are set by 31 Peter each morning and recorded in the inventory data. The total order amount and the expected delivery date
32 is communicated to the customer. If the customer does not want to proceed then the order is cancelled and 33 the transaction ends. If the customer wishes to continue then payment in advance for the goods is required.
34 Customers can pay by cash or credit card. If they pay by cash, the amount of the cash received is recorded in 35 the cash receipts file. If the customer pays by credit card, the details (card number and amount) are sent to 36 the bank. The bank sends back a confirmation code that is recorded in the credit sales data. Once the payment 37 has been confirmed the sales consultant hands the customer the sale receipt and the complete details of the 38 sale are recorded in the sales data store.
39 Completed sales order details also go to the warehouse, where they are immediately taken by the stock 40 manager, who checks what items are available. If the customer’s items are available they are immediately 41 packed and prepared for delivery. A small carton with the order number on it is used to hold items that have 42 been put aside for an order. As it
