sales check modules
TRANSCRIPT
Sales Check Modules – November 2012 (VBA/Excel) XML data was available for download from a website. This data contained all transaction information for the
activation system used for all products. After this information was put through the activation system, it would need
to be entered again into the point of sale system. A new process was created to double-check the accuracy of
items entered into the point of sale system. All XML data was downloaded from the activation system, imported
into the sales check program, and compared against the data from the point of sale system. Due to the ever-
changing nature of the industry, this program was broken into pieces to prevent total obsolescence. This program
eliminated the need to check every single item for accuracy. Without the program, this process would take 1
hour per location (46 locations). With the program, it would take 5 minutes to run each module (not counting
XML collection)
This was the splash/main screen of this program. The various functions were spread across the tabs. New Day Wizard: Format
the program for a new day of data (performing various tedious formatting functions). Convert XML to Excel: Read hundreds of
individual external XML files, and import the data into a single Excel Sheet. XML Entries: The report generated by the
conversion. No Contract: Identify sales data in the XML files indicating that a sale was processed without a contract.
Mismatched IMEIs: Identify sales for which the incorrect device serial number was used. Non-Renewable Features: Identify
certain patterns of sales that were not commissionable, or commissionable in a different way. Mobile Share SDF: Identify
certain patterns of sales that were not commissionable, or commissionable in a different way.
