The Recalculate ("Recalc") utilities can fix certain inventory/sales figures, should you ever suspect they are incorrect, based off of your stored product/invoice data.


 

Figure 18-3



These utilities are found just under the Clean & Pack utilities as shown above. Here is a list of the routines available, and what each does:

  1. Recalc Customer Buckets –Recalculates the sales period (Year-to-Date, Quarter-to-Date, etc.) figures stored by MicroBiz.
    • These figures are available for viewing by selecting a customer and choosing "Explode" from Customers, Customer Add/Edit.
  2. Recalc Customer Balance Due –Recalculates the outstanding balance for each customer's house account.
    • This only applies to Business Controller Plus users.
    • This procedure can be performed for a single customer from the Front Register by double-clicking on the Balance display in the upper-right corner.
  3. Recalc Customer Credit Balances –Recalculates the outstanding store credit figures for each customer.
    • This only applies to Business Controller Plus users.
    • This procedure can be performed for a single customer from the Front Register by double-clicking on the Credit display in the upper-right corner.
  4. Recalc Product Buckets –Recalculates the sales period (Year-to-Date, Quarter-to-Date, etc.) figures stored by MicroBiz.
    • These figures are available for viewing by selecting an inventory item and choosing "Hist" (history) from Inventory, Inventory Add/Edit.
  5. Recalc Product Backorder Quantities –Recalculates the backorder figures for all items.
    • These figures are available for viewing by Reports, Backorders.

As with the Clean & Pack process, Recalculations should only be performed when all other users are out of the MicroBiz system to prevent data corruption.
