Manage Sales Men/Ladies

Manage Sales Men/Ladies maintains the salesperson master used by IMS sales transactions and salesperson reporting. Each person has a unique ID, Arabic and English names, join date and active status, and can be assigned to one or more stores. When the organization enables cashier access, the same salesperson can also be linked to an IMS login under the predefined cashier policy.

Can Sell In

Can Sell In defines the stores assigned to the Sales Man/Lady.

ActionBehavior
+Opens the IMS store-selection dialog so one or more stores can be added to the assignment.
-Removes the selected store or stores from the current assignment.
All StoresAssigns all currently active IMS stores to the Sales Man/Lady.

The store assignment is stored per Sales Man/Lady and is used whenever IMS needs to know which stores that person is allowed to sell in.

Can Add Sales and cashier access

When the IMS Cashier Group is configured, the Can Add Sales option is available. Enabling it connects the Sales Man/Lady master with an IMS user account so the employee can sign in and add sales under the predefined cashier group policy.

For a new cashier, IMS creates the linked user account, assigns the configured Cashier Group and synchronizes the person's store-related access from the Can Sell In assignment.

Automatic access derived from Can Sell In

For Sales Men/Ladies with cashier access, IMS uses the assigned stores to build the associated system-access mappings:

AccessDerived from
Department / store accessThe stores listed in Can Sell In.
Transfer FromThe same stores listed in Can Sell In.
Supplier accessThe supplier associated with each assigned Store master.
Transfer ToStores belonging to the applicable supplier(s), together with stores marked as main/warehouse stores.

This is why Store assignments in this screen are more than a reporting label: for cashier-enabled Sales Men/Ladies, they also help IMS configure the operational access required to work from the assigned branches.

The Sales Men/Ladies master and Manage → Stores are connected in both directions:
