ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Simple Business Invoicing & Inventory (SBII) is a complete sales 
management system that includes: invoicing, inventory management, 
automated billing, mailing list management, and sales tracking. 
Invoices and bills can be printed on plain paper or your own 
letterhead.

SBII Features: 

1.  An intuitive graphical interface with pop-up menus and pick lists 
that minimize typing. For example, to create an invoice you simply 
choose the customer and products sold from a series of menus. SBII 
fills in the invoice and computes the sales tax for you.

2.  Inventory Management. Once you record purchases of the products 
that you sell, SBII tracks inventories by deducting items sold from 
inventory on hand.  Inventory may be managed using either the First 
in-First out or Last in-First out methods.

3.  Customer tracking. Customer profile reports show each customer, 
the items they have purchased and the dates each item was purchased.

4.  Sales tracking. Product sales reports give a complete picture of the 
products that are selling and those that are not. The Buyers report 
shows you the names of customers who have purchased a particular 
product.

5.  Mailing list management. Customers can be separated into up to 
100 groups. Mailing lists and address labels can be generated for any 
combination of one or more groups of customers. This feature lets you 
target your mass mailings to just those customers who are most likely 
to respond to a given mailing.

SBII can be configured to automatically compute two sales taxes (e.g., 
Canadian GST and PST).

Income data entered into SBII can be imported into OWL's Simple 
Business Accounting (SBA) to provide complete tracking of both sales 
income and business expenses.
