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.

Background
Wide World Importers is a family-owned importer of specialty cooking ingredients and prepackaged foods from the Mediterranean. When first established, the company's products were sold at farmers markets, all sales were on a cash-only basis.

Products are now sold locally to restaurant owners and chefs in a family-owned building with a warehouse. Products are no longer sold at farmers markets. Cash and carry sales generate most of the revenue for the company.

Requirements

Customers
-Users with permission must be able to quickly add new customers.
-The original source of all customers in the accounting system must be identified to be from cash and carry or brokered sales.

Customers in a buying group for restaurants can buy it for $18 per unit. There is an autumn promotion price for the item at $19 per unit. However, on a specific day only, there is an overstock special at a 15 percent discount off the regular price.

Sales invoices
-Warehouse workers must be able to indicate the following in the system for each order:
1.the items picked
2.the shipping charges
3.notifications, if any, that customer service needs to provide to the customer
-Items sold at a discount must show the original price, discount, and net amount on each line of the invoice. Invoices must be posted at the cash and carry desk at the time of sale. For orders, accounting must post invoices and send them to customers.

-freight sales and cost by account in the trial balance
-the cost of brokers’ compensation in reporting the overall profitability of sales by business line

Issues Pricing
-Spreadsheets are used to maintain special item pricing and discounts. The only source of product line discount information is a whiteboard in the warehouse. The price charged is frequently incorrect.
-Customers complain when they think they think they have not received the best price available. Promotions are sometimes applied in error after a special pricing event ends, for example, when discounts are offered temporarily to reduce overstock.
-Management cannot see original versus actual price on all sales. Discounts given by brokers requires spreadsheets and comparison between price list and price on sales invoice. Management needs to be able to quickly see the discount given on each sale.

Payment terms
-Agreed-upon payment terms are frequently entered incorrectly on orders, causing cashflow issues.
-Invoices already paid in full exist on the sales aging reports. The frequent cause of this issue is that sales from the cash and carry desk are not indicated as cash sales and are not posted as paid in full.
Some buying groups require that all invoices sent during a month be due on the 20th of the following month.

Invoicing
-Paperwork is frequently misplaced between the warehouse, customer service, and accounting.
-Invoices that are posted in the accounting system based on shipments and invoices that are sent to customers weekly do not match due to errors transferring the data from one document to another.
-Users are selecting the incorrect freight type (expense versus sales) on purchase and sales transactions, making it difficult to reconcile freight costs.
-Sales placed from the cash and carry desk by customers originally acquired through a broker are not being recognized with the correct customer source. Reporting by business line is inaccurate.

Accounts
-Users often forget which fields to use to enter information when they add new customers to QuickBooks. This results in errors and inconsistencies in data and affects sales reporting. Confidence in sales reportingaccuracy is low.
-Adding new brokers is a different process than adding other purchase vendors. Users often forget which fields to select and how to correctly assign the vendor number to add new brokers.
-Manual entries to certain G/L accounts cause reconciliation issues.

Background
Best for You Organics Company is a mid-sized wholesale distributor of organic produce and other food items to national retail grocery store chains. Over half the company’s revenue is from produce with an average shelf life of less than a week. The remaining revenue comes from shelf-stable canned and packaged items.

Best for You Organics experienced substantial growth in the last two years. They expanded from one location to three locations, increased the number of employees from 25 to over 100, and more than doubled their revenue. The company’s business forecast predicts a steady rate of growth of at least 20 percent annually for the next five years.

As a result of their expansion, Best for You Organics is experiencing delays and bottlenecks in their processes. The company has decided to implement Dynamics 365 Business Central as a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution to increase efficiency and automation to support their continued growth.

Current environment

Deliveries
-The company receives daily truckloads of products from their vendors, warehouses the products briefly, and then ships orders based on a weekly delivery cycle to each customer’s store.
-Customers have regular standing orders that are revised and finished one week prior to delivery.
-Best for You Organics has a fleet of trucks that make deliveries according to planned routes.
-The company also has a floating route for trucks to deliver rush orders. The route is being used more often by customers and has overwhelmed the warehouse with exception processing.

Duties
The company wants to provide greater separation of duties between activities in the office and activities in the warehouse.

The accounting team enters orders for the sales team, sends pick tickers back to the warehouse, and organizes shipping documents. The accounting team invoices the orders when they receive instructions from the warehouse that an order shipped.

Employees have expressed frustration because they need to work longer hours to accommodate the increase in sales.

The company does not use the Advanced Warehousing function.

Requirements

Salespeople
-Salespeople must be able to manage opportunities that are converted to quotes.
-Salespeople must be able to release orders to the warehouse to be fulfilled once a quote is final.

Team responsibilities
Deliveries must be shipped daily by employees in the warehouse. The office must be responsible for completing the invoicing process.

The current team responsibilities are shown in the following graphic:

Issues

Issue 1
The accounting team needs an improved process for reconciling inventory to the general ledger.

-Posted transactions are changing financial reporting in periods that have been closed.
-Unexpected changes in inventory cost for previous months are causing costing inaccuracies.

The accounting team uses a complex manual accrual process to determine the accounting impact of items received but not invoiced. The system must streamline the item accrual process.

Issue 3
The company often receives a higher quantity of produce items than what they order because vendors allow for spoilage or damage of produce in transit. The company does not want to allow over receipt on non-produce items.

Issue 4

The company has received comments from their auditors that invoices are not being properly compared to received inventory documents before they are posted. The company does not use warehouse management and always handles processes directly from the purchase order. The company always has the following documents:
