Hello everyone

this post is aimed at the developers of e-conomic as i am missing a key-feature in the program.

I am new to this forums so this post may very well be misplaced...

Well, to the case:

We are a trading company, working with frozen seafood. We are situated in Denmark.

We have abt. 50 item numbers in our range, all stocked at our cold store. Over a course of time there are many deliveries of the same item number at our cold store, comming from different producers (or production rounds)

I am unable to differentiate between different deliveries within the same item number - this is the problem.

According to the danish rules, we must be able to trace every sold product from the end-user to the producer. This means that when i add an item-line in the invoice i need to be able to mark what lot or batch number it came from in order to be able to trace the product in the future.

Currently we are doing that manually because our turnover is not that high, however it is becomming more and more difficult.

Is it possible for e-conomic to make such a feature available?

This is not a big deal now, but will eventually grow into a reason for us to change to a different system, and i don't want that.


hope to hear from anyone about this.

best regards

Hi,

We did have some experimental support for both batch numbers and serial numbers at one point - although we never actually exposed it in the API.

However, we're not making this available to new customers, and it's likely to be made redundant at some point in the future. The reason being that this level of stock management complexity has been deemed to be outside of what we'd like to provide, support, etc.


Best regards,

Thank you for the reply.

You mention that this will not be available for new customers... We have been with you for some years now. Perhaps there is a solution for us?

We are very pleased with e-conomic, it covers all of our needs. However as we are growing, the demand for a slightly more advanced stock managment is becomming more and more a necessity. For this reason alone i am considering other solutions for our company managment software.

Changing systems is such a costly and troublefull process that i by all means would like to avoid it, so i am hoping for some help from your side.

regards
ALEX
