Display Unit Cost

Select this check box to display item unit cost in Sales Order Entry and Invoice Data Entry. Clear this check box if you do not want to display the item unit cost during line entry. The cost displayed is not the actual cost. A cost hierarchy is used to determine a cost amount other than zero, based on the valuation method of the item. The hierarchy for each valuation method is as follows:

• If Average Cost is used, the unit cost value defaults to the Warehouse Average. If the amount is zero, then Item Average Cost, then Last Cost, and then Item Standard Cost is used.

• If Standard Cost is used, the unit cost value defaults to the Standard Cost. If the amount is zero, then Last Cost is used.

• If LIFO/FIFO or Lot/Serial are used, the unit cost value defaults to the Last Cost. If the amount is zero, then Standard Cost, and then Average Cost is used.

The percentage is recalculated whenever the price for the current line is changed. If the calculated percentage is lower than the percentage entered in this field, a warning message appears. Discount rates by line are included in the calculation.

Note Profit margin warning is not performed on credit memos, or the defaulted price from the item.

 

Enable Purchase Control of Items

Select this check box to enable the Purchase Control Maintenance task, which allows you to restrict which items are available for purchase in certain data entry tasks by either the customer number or the ship-to state. Based on the records that you create in Purchase Control Maintenance, restricted items can be selected only with the appropriate security setup.

This field is available only if the Sales Order module is integrated with Inventory Management.

 

Select Items Based On

Select an option to define the basis for how items are restricted in Purchase Control Maintenance.

• Select Customer to restrict the purchase of items based on the selected customer number.

• Select Ship-To State/Province to restrict the purchase of items based on the customer's ship-to state or province.

This field is available only if the Enable Purchase Control of Items check box is selected.

Note If you change the selection in this field after creating records in Purchase Control Maintenance, the existing purchase control records will remain intact, but purchase control checking is performed based on the current selection. Additionally, any changes in this field will not affect the existing transactions created in data entry tasks. Only new transactions will be affected.

 

Control Purchases Based On

Select an option to define whether the items selected in Purchase Control Maintenance are allowed or restricted.

• Select Items Allowed if you want only the items selected in Purchase Control Maintenance to be available for purchase.

• Select Items Not Allowed if you want the items selected in Purchase Control Maintenance to be restricted based on the selected customer or ship-to state.

Note If you select Items Allowed in this field, you must set up records in Purchase Control Maintenance before any restrictions are enforced in the applicable data entry tasks.

 Example

• If you select Items Allowed and create a record in Purchase Control Maintenance for item code 1001, then item code 1001 can be selected in Sales Order Entry regardless of the security setup.

• If you select Items Allowed and do not create a record in Purchase Control Maintenance for item code 2003, then item code 2003 cannot be selected in Sales Order Entry unless the appropriate security is set up.

• If you select Items Not Allowed and create a record in Purchase Control Maintenance for item code 1001, then item code 1001 cannot be selected in Sales Order Entry unless the appropriate security is set up.

• If you select Items Not Allowed and do not create a record in Purchase Control Maintenance for item code 2003, then item code 2003 can be selected in Sales Order Entry regardless of the security setup.

Note If you change the selection in this field after creating records in Purchase Control Maintenance, the existing records will remain intact, but purchase control checking is performed based on the current selection. Additionally, any changes in this field will not affect the existing transactions created in data entry tasks. Only new transactions will be affected.

 

Enable Based On

Select a method for grouping inventory items in Sales Order Entry and Invoice Data Entry that will be used to determine item pricing for the order or invoice. The pricing schedule set up for your company is still used; however, instead of using the total ordered quantity for each line, the total ordered quantity for all items within the grouping method is used. The same method will also be applied to eBusiness Manager shopping cart orders when they are accepted into Sales Order.

• Select All Lines to use the total ordered quantity for all inventory items.

• Select an item category to combine the total ordered quantity for all items with the same value assigned for that category. Item categories appear in the drop-down list only if they are defined in Inventory Management Options.

• Select None if you do not want to base item pricing on the total ordered quantity. Item pricing for each line will be based on the ordered quantity for that line only.

• Select Product Line to group items by product line and use the total ordered quantity for each product line to determine pricing for that product line.

Note For exploded kits, only the parent item's ordered quantity is included in the total ordered quantity.

 Example

You have a price schedule set up to offer discounted pricing based on the number of items ordered. Product Line is selected in this field, and you have a product line called t-shirts. You have separate item records for each size and color of t-shirt that belong to that product line. A customer places an order with the following three lines:

 

• 100 red t-shirts, size large

• 75 blue t-shirts, size medium

• 50 blue t-shirts, size large

The total number of t-shirts ordered is 225; therefore, the customer will receive a discount based on a total of 225 items. The price reduction will be applied to all three lines.

For more information on pricing, see Pricing Priorities.

 

Unit of Measure for Total

Select a unit of measure (UOM) to use for grouping Sales Order Entry and Invoice Data Entry lines when totaling the ordered quantity to determine item pricing.

• Select None if you do not want to group the lines by the UOM. The line item's standard UOM, entered in the Standard field in Item Maintenance, will be used to calculate the total ordered quantity.

• Select Sales to group items based on the UOM entered in the Unit of Measure field for each line and to use that UOM to calculate the total ordered quantity for each UOM grouping in the order.

• Select Standard to group items based on their standard UOM defined in Item Maintenance and to use that UOM to calculate the total ordered quantity for each UOM grouping in the order.

Note Additional grouping may occur based on the selection in the Enable Based On field.

This field is available only if an option other than None is selected in the Enable Based On field.

 Example

You have a price code set up with the following price reduction percentages for the quantities shown:

From Quantity	To Quantity	Reduction Percentage
2	9	2%
10	19	4%
20	29	6%
30	39	8%
40	49	10%
50	59	12%

You create a sales order with the following lines. The price code described in the table above applies to all items included in the order.

Line Number	Item Description	Item's Standard UOM	Line UOM	Quantity Ordered
Line 1	Jacket	Each	Each	1
Line 2	T-shirt	Each	Pkg (Equal to 5 Each)	2
Line 3	Ribbon	Feet	Yard (Equal to 3 Feet)	10
Line 4	Vest	Each	Each	12

In the Enable Based On field, All Lines is selected.

• If you select None in this field, the total quantity used to determine the item pricing is 53. The system converts the ordered quantity to the standard units of measure with the following result: 1 jacket + 10 t-shirts + 30 feet of ribbon + 12 vests.

• If you select Standard in this field, the items are grouped and totaled by the two standard units of measure used in the order:

• • Each: 1 jacket + 10 t-shirts + 12 vests = 23

  • Feet: 30 feet of ribbon

A 6 percent price reduction will be applied to lines 1, 2, and 4 based on the combined ordered quantity of 23.

An 8 percent price reduction will be applied to line 3 based on the ordered quantity of 30.

• If you select Sales in this field, the items are grouped and totaled by the three UOMs used on the lines:

• • Each: 1 jacket + 12 vests = 13

  • Pkg = 2

  • Yard = 10

A 4 percent price reduction will be applied to lines 1 and 4, based on the combined ordered quantity of 13.

A 2 percent discount will be applied to line 2 based on an ordered quantity of 2.

A 4 percent discount will be applied to line 3 based on an ordered quantity of 10.

If you select Product Line or an item category in the Enable Based On field, additional grouping can be used.

In the following sales order example, Product Line is selected in the Enable Based On field, and Standard is selected in this field:

Line Number	Item Description	Item's Product Line	Item's Standard UOM	Line UOM	Quantity Ordered
Line 1	Jacket	Clothing	Each	Each	1
Line 2	T-shirt	Clothing	Each	Pkg (Equal to 5 Each)	2
Line 3	Ribbon	Other	Feet	Yard (Equal to 3 Feet)	10
Line 4	Duffel bag	Bags	Each	Each	12

 

• Lines 1 and 2 will be grouped by both the UOM and the product line. A 4 percent price reduction will be applied to those lines based on a combined ordered quantity of 11.

• Line 4 will be totaled separately because the product line is different than the one on lines 1 and 2. Line 4 will also receive a 4 percent price reduction based on an ordered quantity of 12.

• Line 3 will be totaled separately based on the different standard UOM and the different product line. Line 3 will receive an 8 percent price reduction based on an ordered quantity of 30.

 

Apply Item Pricing Automatically

Select an option for applying item pricing by total quantity in Sales Order Entry and Invoice Data Entry.

• Select New Entries Only to automatically apply item pricing by total quantity when entering new orders and invoices. For existing orders and invoices, you will be prompted to apply item pricing by total quantity when exiting the Lines tab or clicking Accept while on the Lines tab.

• Select No to never automatically apply item pricing by total quantity to orders and invoices.

• Select Prompt to receive a message asking if you want to proceed with item price recalculation when exiting the Lines tab in Sales Order Entry or Invoice Data Entry. This selection applies for both new and existing orders and invoices.

• Select Yes to always automatically apply item pricing by total quantity when entering new orders and invoices or making changes to existing ones.

This field is available only if an option other than None is selected in the Enable Based On field.

NoteRegardless of which option is selected in this field, you can click Item Price in Sales Order Entry and Invoice Data Entry to apply item pricing by total quantity. The Item Price button is available when an option other than None is selected in the Enable Based On field.

Note This field is available only if the Enable Warranty Tracking check box is selected in Inventory Management Options.

 

Recalc Expiration if Ship/Invoice Date Changed

Select this check box to automatically recalculate the expiration date when a date entered at either the Ship Date or Invoice Date field is changed in Invoice Data Entry. Clear this check box if you do not want to automatically recalculate the expiration date when the Ship Date or Invoice Date field is changed.

If this check box is selected, the recalculation occurs during the daily Sales Journal update. Line items are recalculated when a selection is made in the Warranty Code field and when a date is not specified in the Expiration Date field in the Additional Fields window.

Note This field is available only if the Enable Warranty Tracking check box is selected in Inventory Management Options.
