Talk:Gizmo Categories

I was dropping the original content of my email to reuse. Obviously this mainly conflicts with some of the prerequisites outlined by richard. I put this here only so i could easily reference it when looking at the main page. Luiz 00:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

To start:

Where stuff comes from

[main items] (# options per line for pull down under POS)

   a) Receiving (cables, other) (2)
   a.5) Basic Test [Keboard, Mouse, Speakers] (3)
   b) Advanced Testing [mobo, ram, hdd, video card, net device, optical device,other] (7)
   c) Build [computer parts] (1)
   e) Mac Build [Apples, Mac laptops, AS IS computers, other] (4)
   f) Laptop Build [Laptops, AS IS laptops, ac adaptors, RAM, other] (5)
   g) Printer [printers] (1)
   h) Recycling [other] (1)
   i) prebuild [cards: usb card, firewire cards, network cards (for 

now, should be moved to advanced test), power supply, other] (3)

that adds up to 27. At present, we have 37 categories. That would already be a significant improvement.

Could also do stuff like: gizmo type, r(sale status), [where it came from

Simple store-centric scheme

   1) Untested - Other (AS IS) [receiving]
   2) Cables - Untested (AS IS) [receiving]
   3) Keyboard - Tested (Exchangable) [Basic Test]
   4) Mouse - Tested (Exchangable) [Basic Test]
   5) Speakers - Tested (Exchangable) [Basic Test]
   6) Internal Component - Tested (Exchangable) [Advanced Testing]
   7) Internal Component - Untested (AS IS) [Advanced Testing]
   8) Apple - Tested (Exchangable) [Mac Build]
   9) Apple - Untested (AS IS) [Mac Build]
   10) laptop - apple (Exchangable) [Mac Build]
   11) laptop - x86 (Exchangable) [Laptop Build]
   12) laptop parts - untested (AS IS) [Laptop Build]
   13) printers - (Exchangable) [printer island]
   14) Art reuse - AS IS (recylcling)
   15) Cards - UNTESTED (AS IS) (Prebuild)
   14) Power Supply - Tested (Exchangable) [Prebuild]
   15) Other - Detailed

That gets us down to 15. Wording could use tweaks all over the place. There are two main goals of this: to show how much money comes from a particular area and also to aid in having AS IS information automatically added to receipts.

Your ideas?
