UNDERSTANDING THIS MANUAL

This manual is designed as an aid to the user of the Unisolve program. At this
stage the manual will not in great detail explain the complete day-to-day
operation of Unisolve. It will merely help you, the user navigate through the
modules.

We believe that there is no substitute for one on one training and therefore
offer this training which will differ in length and in content relating to the
modules purchased.

This manual describes Unisolve operation and features at the time of

publication, and does not reflect changes made to the program after the
manual was completed. Further updates may be available from your reseller.

BEFORE YOU START

Before attempting to capture all data, it is extremely important that a clear
understanding of what products you are going to sell from your business and
to what extent do you require reports on the items.

We suggest that firstly the departments in the business must be realised AND
WRITTEN DOWN, then the stock codes must be identified. For example, is
your product labled with a bar code, if so, are you using a barcode scanner to
perform the transactions at the Point-of-Sale. If you are not using a barcode
scanner, then are you creating your own stock code?

It is a good idea to have as much information about your

products as possible, rather too much than too little.
