Document flow
As RamBase was developed with business correspondence in mind, the document structure is the focus of the whole system. Transactions are not registered in a table as in many other ERP-systems, in RamBase the user creates a document where items are added.
The process can start with a CRQ document, which is the Sales Quote Request, where the customer asks for pricing, availability and any other questions related to a future delivery. The information in this request is then transferred onward. The example above shows the first few steps a CRQ goes through until it either becomes an Sales Order (COA) or a Sales Order Request (CPO).
The main documents can be divided into documents for business transactions (sales and purchase), warehouse transactions and financial transactions.
The structure for the abbreviations follow the same setup throughout the system. The first letter indicates if the document is from the customer or supplier side, and the other two are abbreviations derived from the traditional business document name.
