Training

This exercise will help you to get a better understanding of the Aptean Beverage Empty Goods and Deposit Management extension. The exercise can be performed in the Cronus DIT demo company.

Create a copy of this company to keep your Cronus DIT demo in the original state. In the copy you can do all the exercises that are included in the training.

Exercise 3 – Empty Goods on Master Data

Returnable items can be in place in sales transactions and in purchase transactions and can depend on the location that is used. In the previous exercises, we used the existing setup from the demo company. Now we create our own.

Empty Goods on Customers

• Create yourself as a customer.
  • You will not be charged with a deposit for empties, but we do want to know what you have to return to us.
  • You are a retailer. Your returns of empties are by default from the list that we prepared for retailers. When we register your returns, we want to have this list available.
  • We register your returns in our weekly sales order. It is possible that the deposit value for the returned empties is higher than the products that we sell. Still, we want to be able to ship and invoice the order.

Empty Goods on Vendors

• Create yourself as a Vendor.

Empty Goods on Items

• We introduce a new beer: Cronus Premium IPA. We sell it in premium crates with 24 of our standard 33CL beer bottles.
  • Create the item and setup the deposit for it.
• Sell yourself some of this excellent beer and ship and invoice the order.

Empty Goods on Locations

• When rules for empty goods and deposit are different per location, you can manage these differences with the use of Empty Goods Location Groups. This is exceptional and not mandatory to setup. If there are no differences in the policy:
  • don’t create Empty Goods Location Groups
  • don’t assign them to locations
  • don’t use them in empty goods rules.
