Expand/Collapse item  Overview

You can enter options (otherwise known as features or accessories) defined in the Bill of Materials module for standard bill types using Sales Order Entry and S/O Invoice Data Entry. When an option is selected, its price is added to the base price of the item. The option information can be used by the Work Order module, if the Work Order module is integrated with Sales Order, to automatically create a work order from a sales order without reentering the option codes.

Sales kits and standard bills defined using Bill of Materials Maintenance can use options to specify different configurations of component items. You can enter up to nine separate categories of options. You can select only one option per category. Each option within a category is identified by a unique code.
