The Listings feature comes as part of standard Merlin and provides users with a basic reporting function. View these listings on screen, or export to Excel, Listings makes getting access to real-time reports quickly and easily.

Whilst Listings are user definable, they are easy to create, set up and manage, Merlin will provide you with some standard listings upon setup.  With Listings you can gain immediate access to the record associated with a line in the listing. i.e. if you’re looking at customers on stop, you can right click and can access to that customer.

• Open Sales/Purchase Orders: View open sales orders, and click through to edit orders if necessary. Also available for Sales/Purchase Enquiries.
• Customers on Stop: See an up-to-date list of Customers on Stop, which can be used to prevent further orders being placed, as well as alerting Account Managers who require chasing. A Supplier version is also available.
• Stock Shortages: Monitor stock levels and gain quick access to areas where the stock is low, enabling the Purchasing Team to quickly rectify any potential stock shortages.

With the predefined reports giving you an up-to-the-minute picture of your business, you can quickly analyse areas that are doing well, and drill down into others that may require closer management.  Some example reports are:

• Customer Balances
