Policy- The Middleware system is built to connect the BEACH and POS to reduce redundant functions and optimize manpower efficiency for the delivery process.
- Warehouse to ECOM FBD transactions will now be using BEACH's Move Order transactions instead of SIT.
- The ECOM, Franchise, Retail, and Service Center store operations will use the Middleware to receive warehouse deliveries. The POS will no longer be used due to stock adjustment and stock transfer transactions being automated.
- All warehouse to store deliveries must be created through the BEACH.
- All warehouse to store deliveries require a BEACH DR before it can be dispatched from the warehouse.
The only exception to this rule are ECOM FBD sales transactions from warehouse to the direct consumer, where the warranty slip from the DEM system is used instead. - There is a 2-part process when receiving items in the Retail and Franchise stores. Part 1 involves physical receiving and matching of items by the delivery specialist and the store personnel. Part 2 involves scanning each item into the Middleware.
- Users must receive the DR transaction in the Middleware within 24 hours from receiving the physical deliveries.
- All Retail and Franchise stores must scan their deliveries in the Middleware. Users may only input items manually if their scanners are not working.
- If a discrepancy is encountered, the transaction must not be received. Users must contact their immediate head for further instructions on backload.
- Items that have not yet been scanned in the Middleware for receiving may not be sold.
- ECOM transactions may only be received in the Middleware after the inventory has reflected in the seller center.
- Consignment and outright transactions will still be received by Accounting in the BEACH.
- Accounting will match signed DR received, BEACH, Middleware, and POS.
The only exception to this rule are ECOM FBD sales transactions from warehouse to the direct consumer, where the warranty slip from the DEM system is used instead.
