Speaking exercise

The first problem I want to discuss is about the employee discount problem. Currently, when customer go to store to refund goods and using employee discount, the sales does not compensate back to original store because we can cross-store to refund goods. Sales and VAT should be adjusted back to original store, but for employee discount the system cannot be automatically adjusted. So we need to manually adjust it for currently. We have reported to Pablo, he has agreed to improve the system but we still didn’t get any feedback. I want to know if he got any update about this case and do I need to create some issue number in system that we can follow.

The second one is about the new project, ISB project. I think about up to three or four months we need to launch the new project ISV(?). The problem of this project is we need to receipt the discount. I think the problem is when customer use Alipay or WeChat to buy the goods, they can get some discount, but for this discount will be afford by ourselves. But for those discount is just under the same payment method, Alipay and WeChat, so it cannot be automatically deduct sales and VAT by our system. This part we need to book the entry manually. So I want to create a new form to do those entries and the format of the form is just like Alipay and WeChat reconciliation form. And the logic is the form need to automatically adjust the sales and VAT against AR. So I need to know if he agree this projects about the adjustment for those discount.


The first problem I want to discuss is about the employee discount refunds problem. Currently, when customers go to a store to refund goods and (that were) bought using an employee discount, the sales does not compensate back get back to the original store because we can allow cross-store to refunds goods. The sale price and VAT should be adjusted back to the original store, but for when it was bought using an employee discount, the system cannot be automatically adjusted. So we need to manually adjust it for to keep the account currently. We have reported this problem to Pablo, and he has agreed to improve the system but we still didn’t get haven’t gotten any feedback. I want to know if he Klaus got has gotten any update about this case and do if I need to create some an issue number in system that we can follow.

The second one is about the new project, the ISV project. I think in about up to three or four months we need to launch the new ISV project ISV. The problem of with this project is we need to receipt record(?) the discount. I think the problem is when customer use Alipay or WeChat to buy the goods, they can get some discount, but for the cost of this discount will be afford borne / paid by us ourselves. But for since those discounts is are just under through the same payment method / app, Alipay and WeChat, so it our system cannot be automatically deduct sales and VAT by our system. This part So we need to book the entries manually. So I want to create a new form to do those entries. and The format of the form is just like the Alipay and WeChat reconciliation forms (do some similar forms already exist that you are comparing the forms you will make to?). And the logic / goal is the form needs to automatically adjust the sales and VAT against AR. So I need to know if he agrees to these projects about the adjustments for those discounts.
