DBA Software Training

Our goal is have the software running on 12/1/05.

Below are list of videos to watch and files to read. Everyone should watch or read the "General" files. Below that are files that are specific to each position. Of course, you are encouraged to learn as much as you can about each section.

Hopefully, in a couple of weeks we'll be ready to implement some of the software. We should be finished entering most of the initial tables this week. Once that's done, we have to enter Customers that currently owe money and Customer who have orders in production. Suppliers must be entered. Once Customers and Suppliers are entered, item numbers and BOM's will need entering. At that point we'll be ready to start entering sales orders, jobs, purchase orders, etc.
