How to Generate the Proper Report Format Using A.A.I.N. POS Software - AAIN Website

Instructions for AAIN users.

from Main Menu select:

Quick Access to Financial Reports

from Financial Reports Menu select:

Vendor Sales Quick Reports Menu

from Vendor Sales Quick Reports Menu select:

Sorted by Month

type valid dates for the beginning and ending dates for the current 
month (ie MM/01/YY to MM/31/YY).  If the month does not have 31 days 
then you will get an error and a chance to type in the correct ending date.

Click on Preview

After a moment a report will appear in it's own window.  Click on the 
blue "W" icon to save (export) the file in WORD (.rtf) format.  This 
will save the file in your DOCUMENTS (or MY DOCUMENTS) folder.

Launch SALES_UPLOAD.BAT configured for the VendorSalesQR_byMonth.rtf file 
and your Upload Directory.  A copy of SALES_UPLOAD.BAT file specifically 
configured for your account is available for download from your Store Page.

Troubleshooting (MAR 2, 2013):

The report file:ÊVendorSalesQr_MallCentral.rtf

needs to be saved in the Documents or My Documents directory.

As you know, there are changes between XP and 7 and how the Document folder works and a Library and 
Users. I dont get it but maybe you do.

For the upload to continue to work three files need to co-exist in the same directory:

VendorSalesQr_MallCentral.rtf
MALLUPLD.EXE
SALES_UPLOAD.BAT

That's it and it's that simple.

Another catch is stores create a shortcut and place it on their desktop. What some stores 
do is they create the shortcut and place the original on the desktop. That wont work.

AAIN upgrades, Office upgrades, XP to 7 upgrades causes the simple requirement not 
to be met and stores aren't uploading right.
