Day 6

Today I worked with Mr. Steve Hammer, he is the head of labeling and inventory control. I was learning about Purchase Orders (PO) and the steps involved in purchasing products and labels. First I learned how to use a program thcompany uses called Process Pro, and I crated a label pull. Labels are put in files bi-weekly, and are separated by sulppliers. Then I pulled the labels, only the ones that are being used for that particular order and I made sure the micro dates matched. Micro dates are the dates of the last month and year that the product was ordered. Next, you look at the minimum and the maximum to decide how much needs to be ordered. The min and max are decided by how much the company ordered the very first time they bought from 21st century. That is considered the minimum. The maximum is just the minimum, doubled. These numbers give you a range of how much product may need to be ordered. When you decide how much needs to be ordered, you determine the cost and send the purchasing order transation. An important step before ordering product is to wait for the PO to come in before ordering shippments nad specific numbers. During the day I looked up fifty diffetent codes to find labels, ran micro dates to make sure they matched, and sold to companies such as Petsmart, Dicount Drugmart, HyVee, Nurti-Vet, and Laura Lynn. I also happened to stumble apun a problem in the labeling system. Balance B was labeled under B-Complex and was not able to be found. Mr. Hammer and I went into the labeling room and found the mistake that he said he had been looking for for multiple months.
