Study #2: National Cosmetic Retailer
Stock Ledger Balance Problem
The Challenge:
This national retailer needed to balance the stock
ledger to the inventory valuation report before the auditors came and before
the end of year. Several software contractors had tried but not achieved the
expected results. Master files were corrupt with invalid departmental
hierarchy and store information. The stock ledger had to be rebuilt without
interrupting nightly posting of sales.
The Solution:
The Great Woods Group corrected the master files and
simulated the rebuild in order to bench mark the window needed for the live
rebuild.
The Results:
The stock ledger balanced to the penny. The ledger
file rebuild was performed on the weekend with a dedicated system in order
to not interfere with regular business operations. Business was up and
running Sunday afternoon ...ahead of schedule. |
