This add-on allows user to automate the acceptance of payments by Credit Card for customers who prefer that type of payment to sending of checks or money transfer at the end of each day, week or month. This enhancement only affects the Accounts Receivable module. Customers in the system are first designated as CC payers. As the process is initiated by user the program automatically scans customer database for such customers. Once located, the balance owed is calculated, and then using PC Charge or IC Verify, the program connects, initiates money transfers, much like when using a CC processing terminal, and as soon it receives approval, makes a payment entry in Z-Bake. It applies […]

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic interchange of business information using a standardized format. In other words, EDI is a process which allows one company to send information to another company electronically rather than on paper. Companies that conduct business electronically are called trading partners. The exchange of data is usually facilitated by an intermediary company, a ‘clearing’ house that ‘hosts’ the exchange and charges one or both trading partners certain fees to make the process possible.

Many business documents can be exchanged using EDI. But, the three most common ones are purchase orders, confirmations of received orders and invoices. At a minimum, EDI replaces the manual preparation and handling associated with traditional business communication. However, the […]

This Add on enables a Z-Bake user to export to EXCEL data from any one file of the thousands of databases that Z-Bake maintains.

This add-on allow user to define the file that contains that info: ARCUST01 and that needs exporting to EXCEL. This […]

Bakers, in general, but especially those who cater to customers who pay based on ‘actual’ sales at the cash register rather than called-in orders, need to predict future consumption. That is what this Z-Bake functionality helps bakers do. There are, of course, as many ways of forecasting as there are bakers who wish to do so. Forecasting formulas are usually based on some factors or ratios that take historical statistical sales records and by extrapolation predict future ‘orders’. To complicate matters, weather and other unpredictable conditions influence the result. In the final analysis such predictions become more of an art form rather than science.

User first indicates in each customer’s file whether that customer is a […]
