How do you work with resale via an intermediate location in Easyflor?

What is resale via an intermediate location?

Sometimes your stock arrives at location A (for example Aalsmeer), but the product must first go to location B (for example Limburg) before it goes to the customer. This is called "resale" - the product goes via an intermediate stop to the end customer.

Why do you need this?

• You have multiple distribution centers or locations
• Stock arrives at one central place, but customers are served from regional locations
• You want labels to be printed at the right place
• You want a clear overview: first to the intermediate location, then to the customer

How does it work in practice?

Example situation:

Step 1: Stock arrives in Aalsmeer Step 2: Product must go to distribution center Limburg Step 3: From Limburg it goes to the customer

What happens with labels?

• In Aalsmeer a label is printed with: "To Limburg"
• In Limburg upon check-in a label is printed with the customer name

How do you set this up?

Preparation: What do you need?

Make sure you have already created:

• An administration for Aalsmeer
• An administration for Limburg
• A location for Aalsmeer
• A location for Limburg

Step 1: Create a special debtor for the intermediate location

1. Go to "Organization" then "Debtors"
2. Click on "+New"
3. Create a debtor with the name "Limburg" (same name as the location)
4. This debtor represents your distribution center

Step 2: Set up the list or location where stock arrives

For the list or location where products are purchased (in this example: Aalsmeer):

1. Go to the list or location
2. Find the field: "Owner of list (resale)"
3. Choose here: Aalsmeer

Step 3: Set up the intermediate location debtor (Limburg)

A. Set the sales location:

1. Go to "Debtors"
2. Select the debtor "Limburg"
3. Click on "Configuration"
4. Click on "Distribution"
5. At "Sales location": choose location Limburg

B. Set the administration:

1. Make sure this debtor falls under the administration of Aalsmeer

Step 4: Set up the end customers

For customers served via Limburg:

1. Go to "Debtors"
2. Select a customer
3. At "Administration": choose Limburg
4. At "Parent debtor": choose Limburg
5. Repeat for all customers served via Limburg

Summary: Checklist for setup

For the intermediate location:

• Administration created
• Location created
• Debtor created with name of intermediate location
• Debtor has sales location = intermediate location
• Debtor has administration = main location

For end customers:

• Administration = intermediate location
• Parent debtor = intermediate location debtor

If you set all this up correctly, products automatically go via the right intermediate location to the customer!
