Overview #

Nervatura was made for being able to store all data generated during ones working process. OFFER type forms are used to record the given (CUSTOMER) and also the received (SUPPLIER) offers/quotations. If any of the offers finally results in business deal, then its data are easy to use for further transaction types.

The ORDER, WORKSHEET and RENTAL transaction types play a significant role in the workflow. They gather all those goods/services that we either committed to deliver or we expect to be delivered by our suppliers. The data sheet screens therefore were designed to enable easy review and follow up of all physical movements of goods (inventory, asset movement), as well as the financial aspects related to a transaction.

The forms were optimized to cover three different transaction types.

• The ORDER is for the classic working method used in the majority of firms. We sell goods or services to our business partners or we are the ones provided with these by our suppliers.
• The WORKSHEET is useful when our activity is rather service related. This can also be linked to a product (stock movement), however mostly product is concerned not as the subject of a sales action but used as a material and thus rather it is part of the service itself.
• In case of RENTAL the focus moves from labor to time. We can follow that our own (or borrowed) products/tools under what conditions and at what time frame were used by our partners.

The INVOICE is used for recording and follow up of our financial obligations.

The RECEIPT is the simplified version of the above one, with following differences:

• Only CUSTOMER type (not available for SUPPLIER direction)
• Customer cannot be defined
• The fulfillment date (Receipt Date) and financial due date (Due Date) is always the same.
• By default it is counted as paid (Paid).
• Cannot be linked to a bank transfer or cash receipts.
• Cannot be linked to TOOL movements.
