Bookstore Manager Technical Support
Automate Inventory History Roll

Starting with version 6.1 of Bookstore Manager Software, you can set up the computer's scheduler to run the inventory history roll (IVHR). This requires that the operating system has a built in scheduler. Unix, Windows NT, and Windows 98 have scheduling programs. The Plus! pack for Windows 95 includes a scheduler as well.

The IVHR program takes the following options:
1 Monthly History Roll (No inventory changes)
   
20 Monthly History Roll (Only Decrease stock levels based on month's sales)
21 Monthly History Roll (Increase or Decrease stock levels based on month's sales)
   
3 Weekly History Roll (No inventory changes)
   
40 Weekly History Roll (Only Decrease stock levels based on week's sales)
41 Weekly History Roll (Increase or Decrease stock levels based on week's sales)
