Welcome to Edition nine of the IN HARMONY online monthly newsletter.
 
New Harmony Feature
 
Duty Drawback
 
Does your company import goods then re-export them overseas? If so, then you will find yourself paying duty on all these goods only to have to reclaim the duty back once the goods are exported.
Harmony can help.
There is a new sub-system within Purchasing designed to help you keep track of duty paid on inventory and prepare claims for customs. Harmony looks at the original duty entered in against purchase orders and uses this to help you claim the original duty from customs. It also keeps track of the duty you have already claimed.
 
To make use of this great new feature please contact your Account Manager.
 
New WinPOS Feature
 
Store Specific Discounts
 
WinPOS now has the ability to configure specific discount reasons for specific stores. If you have various groups of stores with each group requiring its own set of discount reasons, this feature will be very useful. Simply contact your Account Manager and provide a table of discount reasons and their associated stores and we will be able to set it up for you.

After Hours Telephone Support
In this day and age, businesses operate around the clock. With Harmony`s Premium After Hours Support Package, your business can call an After Hours telephone number which puts you directly in touch with a member of our Help Desk 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Whilst our After Hours Support only covers Harmony related queries, it certainly provides peace of mind to know that support is only a phone call away - no matter what time of day or night.

WinPOS PDA Stocktake Application
If you are currently using a third party software program for counting your stock at your store, it is time to take a look at our new Harmony PDA Stock take interface.
We have developed our own proprietary JAVA based Stock take program to run on most PDA Units or RF Terminals running Windows Mobile.
This program has been designed to integrate directly with our Harmony WinPOS software and has the following features:
  • Ability to load your stock file into the unit prior to the stocktake so invalid barcodes can be quickly and easily identified.
  • Batch support. Allows for adding, renaming, deleting and checking batches throughout the stock take process.
  • Once the stock count is complete a simple synchronisation process will transfer the stock take information directly into WinPOS.
