Overview

Over time your data file grows as you import more orders and customers.

To keep MS Access store files at a reasonable size, the Archive Old Data function moves orders placed prior to a given date to a separate archive data file (created in your c:\StoneEdge or other default directory). Customer records of those who have not placed an order prior to a given date are moved also.

The Re-Import Archived Orders function enables you to retrieve archived orders in addition to the following related information:

• Order details (line items)

• Transactions

• Returns

• RMAs

• Drop-ship an order placed with a supplier for an item or items that are not normally stocked by the retailer; the supplier then ships the merchandise directly to the retailer's customer. The retailer never takes physical possession of the merchandise. orders

• Notes electronic records, for internal use only, that contain additional details about program events, actions or customer information that are stored with order, customer, inventory and supplier records. Notes can be entered manually by the user or automatically entered by the program, based on parameter settings in some cases.

• Customer records
