The following is a brief synopsis of each of the main tools offered by in the Auction Manager.  Follow the link to any tool that you wish to see a more detailed description.  The detailed descriptions give more information along with sample screen shots from the application.

The Buyer Receipts window is used to check out buyers.  When the window opens, the buyer list is loaded with all buyers for the current auction who bought an item during the auction.  Once the user finds the buyer in the list, the buyer's account information will then be loaded.  The cashier can then make adjustments to the account as needed and print out receipts for the buyer.

The Clients window is used to setup buyer and consignor information.  The Clients window is setup to allow users to find specific clients quickly and update their information as needed.  For buyers whose information is already setup in the system, users can simply use the Assign Buyer Number feature to get the buyer out to the bidding floor as quickly as possible.  

The Enter Lots window is used to enter items into the system.  This can be done on the fly or before the auction, using the Catalog section of the Auction Manager.  The Enter Lots window has many features built into it to reduce the keystrokes needed by the clerk and therefore increase the clerks efficiency.

The Catalog window is used to enter items into the system before an auction.  This enables users to print out the catalog to either mail to prospective buyers or hand out the listing at the door.  The catalog can also be loaded into the Enter Lots section of the Auction Manager.  Once it is loaded, the clerk can navigate through all the pre-entered items and update each accordingly.

The Reports window is used to create various printouts.  Users can print consignor reports, auction reports, mailing labels, catalog listings, and auction or specific consignor statistics.
