Meet Sherwood Systems: 

Mary Tolifson, Admin Assistant

Mary 

Many of you have already met Mary Tolifson, as she is the pleasant voice answering the phones and greeting our customers.  As an Administrative Assistant for Sherwood Systems, Mary also does the billing and runs our training program - not an easy job! 

 

Mary has over 15 years of experience running a front office.  She is one of the original Sherwood employees, but is still the "baby" of the group.   Mary started working for Sherwood Systems in 1993, right out of high school.  Her responsibilities have increased as Sherwood Systems has grown from a development shop to a multi-state sales and support organization and ISV. 

 

Mary left Sherwood Systems for a few years to pursue her real passion, breeding and caring for dogs.  She worked as a Veterinarian Technician/Administrative Assistant for a local veterinarian for a few years, then as a Client Administrator for an emergency animal clinic.  Three years ago Mary also started her own business, Pups & Stuff, breeding and selling puppies, which she still runs in her "spare" time. 

 

When not at work, Mary also enjoys riding ATVs and spending time with her family, including 7-year old son, Morgan.  We are so happy that Mary is back with us again!  Her dedication, hard work and attention to detail help keep the front office running smoothly!

Tips & Tricks

Credits on Orders and Invoices  

 

You may want to show a credit on an order or invoice in Microsoft Dynamics GP if the customer has returned an item for replacement, or you are giving a special discount or allowance.  Enter the credit line on the sales document with a negative quantity and a positive price.  When the invoice is posted, the credit is applied to the invoice and the sales inventory item is returned to stock.
