Button

Action

Add

This will create a new (normally blank) record in the file. You will then be able to enter details for the record. Then confirm with an OK, or abandon the New record with a Cancel.

You will be warned if a CBD Invoice has been prepared for the SO as any changes will cause inconsistencies between what your customer expects to pay and what you will expect to receive.

When entering an order item the following rules apply:

  • The line number will be automatically generated.
  • The part description, UoM multiplier, sales UoM, price, sales account, discount rate and tax class are all entered automatically when a part number is entered. However they may be edited using the mouse to select the desired field.
  • The part description, UoM multiplier, sales UoM and price will be brought from a Customer Part record if such a record exists for this Part and Customer. If this is the case you will not be able to edit the price, discount and UoM details unless you have security setting permission to edit the customer part record.
  • Non-part items are recorded in Sales History but not in Order Preparation History or, of course, in Stock History.
  • N type Non-stock parts can be entered, however no stock history or quantity adjustments will be made. You will receive a warning, but this warning message can be suppressed with the option optSONoNTypePartWarn set to 1.
  • P type parts are considered “Exploded kits” when used in a Sales Order. In the SO, picking list, dispatch note and in all review listings they are shown exploded into components. Multi-level kits are permitted with no restrictions. A kit can only have a UoM multiplier of 1, and the ordered quantity must be in whole units. Once a P type part is in a Sales Order it’s BoM cannot be altered, nor can the part type be changed.
  • The part’s standard and special sales texts, engineering data and associated product serial numbers are appended to the description on the Quotation, Sales Order, Dispatch Note and optionally the resulting Invoice.
  • If you are adding items to a Quotation, no changes are made to the Due to Sales Orders part record value and no change is made to the customer’s On-order value.
  • If you convert a Quotation to an Order, or as you add or change items on an Order, adjustments are made to the Due to Sales Orders part record value and to the customer’s On-order value. For parts, order preparation history is recorded in the Stock History file. For P type Exploded Kits, processing is carried out for components, not the kit part number.

Note NOTE: Prices from Customer Part records always take precedence over part master prices. If the Customer Part record is for a foreign currency, the Sales Order must be for that currency for the part to be added successfully.

Note NOTE: System Manager System Preferences control the recording of history, including restricting the Order Preparation History.

Tip TIP: If at any time you believe the Customer On-order value or Part’s Due to SO quantity are out of step with Sales Orders, these values can be re-calculated automatically in the “System Manager” “Reset Data File…” function. In the case of parts you can review the source of the quantity with the “Stock History” “Processing Analysis” function.

Customisation CUSTOM CAPABILITY: oCustom1.$SolEntryPartCheck() enables you to set up a custom method for part verification. For example, you may wish to prohibit the sale of parts with particular Index Codes or from certain store locations.

Customisation CUSTOM CAPABILITY: The oCustom1.$SolptnoFinal() method enables you to carry out processing after part entry. In addition oCustom1.$AfterItemAddedToSo() enables you to set up a custom method in advance of the editing process. For example, you may wish to set up some special account code relating to the Part-Customer combination rather than the part alone.

Copy

This will create a Copy of the current record displayed on the window. You will then be able to change the details. Confirm with an OK, or abandon the new record with a Cancel.

Delete

Execute this button to permanently remove the currently selected record from the file. If you are permitted to delete the item, you will be asked for confirmation, otherwise an explanation will be given.

The window has 4 tab panes.

Item Details

This pane shows the essential base details for the selected order line item.

Field

Description

Line Item Number

The line item number, from 1 to 999, is automatically generated for each sales item, a deleted line number is not re-used unless there are no higher line item numbers.

Part Number

Sales Order Line Items. Part number. {SOLFILE.SOLPTNO char 18}

The part number on order which must be a pre-defined part in the Parts section, or blank if not an inventory part. N type non-stock parts can be used, and are useful for standard delivery charges, services, etc.; no part quantities are affected or stock history made for non-stock parts. A partial part number can be entered, whereupon the nearest matching part record is located by the system. The ScratchPad can be used to drag and drop a selection of parts onto the Line Item List.

Tip TIP: You can setup the optSONoEngChange option in Settings Maintenance. If the value is 1, users will be prevented from adding a part which has Engineering-in-Progress set, rather than just being given a warning.

Part Type

Parts Master. Part type (A,B,M,N,O,P). {PTMFILE.PTMTYPE char 1}

Description

Sales Order Line Items. Item description. {SOLFILE.SOLDESC char 32000}

If a valid part number is added the part description is provided here. It can be edited if needed. The description field must be used for non-part items such as services.

Note NOTE: You can apply parts individual texts to Sales Orders in an alternative manner. If you set option optSODefaultIndivText to ‘1’, ‘Y’, ‘Yes’ or ‘YES’, the Part Individual Text will form a default description for the part rather than an additional text. I.E. In a Sales Order, when optSODefaultIndivText is set to ‘1’, the line item description will default to the individual sales text for the part (as long as there is no relevant Customer Part record). Whenever this option is set, the Individual Sales Texts for parts will NOT be printed on the Sales Order, as they are when not set.

Note NOTE: If user option optSODisableSoldesc = 1 or YES, the line item description entry field to be permanently disabled for the user (to force use of a custom text configurator, for example).

Order Quantity

Sales Order Line Items. Quantity in Sales UoM. {SOLFILE.SOLSQTY number 3dp}

Quantity in Sales Units of Measure ordered which defaults to 1.000. If you change the quantity, the Balance due will also change. If you reduce the quantity such that the Balance due becomes zero, the line item will be deleted.

There is a System Manager System Preferences setting that controls whether a warning is given if the ordered quantity will result in the projected stock quantity dropping below minimum level were the dispatch be made immediately. If the Warn user during normal SO item entry of low part stock is checked you will receive warnings. The following rules will apply:

  • If it is a non-part item, no message will occur.
  • The system calculates part projected quantity as the Physical quantity minus Allocated to WO quantity minus Due to SO quantity minus the line item entered quantity (or increased quantity if editing). Note that it does NOT take into account any Due from P/WO quantity. For example, the part has a physical of 20, an Allocated to WO of 4, a Due to SO of 6 and new order quantity of 3; the projected will be 20-4-6-3=7.
  • If the part has an Planning Alias and the projected quantity for the part is less than the part Minimum stock quantity, the projected quantity becomes the previous projected quantity less the part’s minimum quantity. The position of the Alias Part is then considered with this quantity in mind. In the above example, where the part has a Minimum stock of 8 and it has an Alias, the projected stock will become 7-8=-1 and the condition of the Alias will be reviewed with respect to an equivalent order quantity of 1.
  • If the part is not a P type Exploded kit, you will receive a message if the projected quantity is less than the Minimum Stock.
  • If the part is a P type Exploded kit, the system will analyse the status of all components for the kit, with respect to the projected assembly’s quantity requirements times the Bill of Material quantities of components and their respective projected quantity status. If there are any shortages predicted from the analysis, a list of them will be presented in the Sales Order Kit Items with Suspect Availability window.

Note NOTE: These warnings are based on a as-of-now projection of quantities. It does not provide you with any view of when parts could be supplied within your production plan. For a much better analysis, use the “Review Part Available-to-Sell” function.

Customisation CUSTOM CAPABILITY: oCustom1.$SolsqtyCheck() can be used to process your own quantity validation or messaging system. Within it, if you set the flag false (Calculate #F as 0) the normal processing will be by-passed.

Sales Unit of Measure

Sales Order Line Items. Sales UoM for the item. {SOLFILE.SOLSAUM char 6}

Item reference

Sales Order Line Items. Item reference. {SOLFILE.SOLUSER char 15 Idx} Added line items inherit the last code you entered.

Tip TIP: This reference can be used to individually code line items. It is subsequently passed to sales history. It can be used in searches and report sorts for both orders and history analysis.

Dispatch Due Date

Sales Order Line Items. Dispatch date for the quantity. {SOLFILE.SOLDATE date date1980}

The date of planned dispatch for the item. If multiple deliveries of an item are planned, multiple item lines with different delivery due dates must be created. For a new Sales Order or Quotation the default date is the next make calendar active date. After entry of one item, default date for further items is that set for the first line item.

Note NOTE: You can control the initial default Dispatch Due Date when the user enters the first line item for a Sales Order. Condition A: If option optSODueDateDays = 0 or blank, the SO Due Date is the next make day to today. Condition B: If option optSODueDateDays = 1 or -N, the SO Due Date will be the current make day (or next if today is not a make day). Condition C: If option optSODueDateDays = N where it is > 1, the SO Due Date will be N make days beyond the current make day (or next if today is not a make day). If the Make Calendar does not extend sufficiently for condition C, condition B will apply.

Note NOTE: If option optSOPromoPriceWarn = 1 or YES, the user gets a warning if the customer part, or part if there is none, is set for promotional pricing and the dispatch date is not within a promotion range.

Tip TIP: Besides individually setting the due date of line items, there is a way to set all line items in one go to a particular date or even a date calculated in a custom algorithm. In this case all the above restriction and price calculations are by-passed. This is the process:

  1. Right-click on the date field.
  2. Select Date Calculator, or choose that from the ScratchPad main menu.
  3. Calculate a date so it appears in the calculator result (below the Today button).
  4. Click on that result date and drag-and-drop it onto the list of job line items.

Customisation CUSTOM CAPABILITY: The above date drag-and-drop can be intercepted by oCustom1.$SolDateDrop method which takes the date, document header row and item list as parameters. You could devise a sophisticated re-dating algorithm here to bypass the default behaviour of the drag-and-drop mechanism. There are other possible uses this feature could be put to.

Originally Required Date

Sales Order Line Items. Customer originally requested receipt date. {SOLFILE.SOLDATO date date1980}

Latest Expected Date

Sales Order Line Items. Latest expected customer receipt date. {SOLFILE.SOLDATX date date1980}

List Price

Sales Order Line Items. Price before discount per Sales UoM. {SOLFILE.SOLPRIC number 2dp}

The default is the Sales Price from the part’s master record for the part times the Sales UoM Multiplier. It can then be edited. If the order is for a foreign currency, the exchange rate for the SO will be applied. However, if the currency is one of the five sales price currencies set in the File — System Manager — Company Details, and the part has a currency price, this price will then be applied.

Customisation CUSTOM CAPABILITY: oCustom1.$AfterSoAutoPriceCalc method provides for interception of the automatic part price calculation for situations where complex customised pricing may be needed.

Commission agents

Sales Order Line Items. Commission agents applicable to this line item (comma separated list of COMIDs). {SOLFILE.SOLCOMA char 100}. The agents applied by default are the agents listed for the customer or additional dispatch address, if applied, filtered by the commission class of the part or non-part class set in company details. The resulting default commission agents comma-separated list can be modified, however on leaving the field the system checks that codes are valid, sorts the list and removes any duplicates.

Note NOTE: For more details of the commissioning agents system within the program see the Commissioned Sales Agents Maintenance window and the Sales Commissions Review window topics.

Button

Action

Customer Parts Details

To open the Customer Parts Maintenance window.

Note NOTE: If no part line is selected, a list of all customer parts for the order customer will be listed. Double-clicking on a subsequent part will add it to the Parts Scratchpad that can be used to drag and drop it back onto the order. This technique can be used before any items have been added to the order.

Show Extra Part Text

To show the extra texts associated with a part. You will be able to change these texts.

This button will, if a part is selected, open the Part Sales Texts window in which the part’s extra sales texts can be viewed and amended. Both individual and standard sales texts are shown. These texts are inserted in the printed Sales Order following the item line for the part.

Note NOTE: If you hold the Shift key down when clicking on the button, you will open the Part Works Texts window rather than the Sales Text window.

Configure a New Part

To add a line item with a newly configured assembly part. This can only be activated with a saved document.

This button only has any function if the Parent Number prefix in SO Configuration has a non-blank value. Sales Item Configuration options are set up in File — System Manager — Sales Item Configuration.

Given that you have an appropriate setup in the System Manager section, you can create new assemblies with associated Bills of Material and Process Routes directly using this feature.

It will open the Sales Order Item Configuration window and the Select Like-Part for Components Listing window to select a Like-Part for the configuration.

Sales Tax Class

Sales Order Line Items. Tax code applicable. {SOLFILE.SOLTAXC integer shortint}

The tax rate and amount applicable for this part is automatically calculated from the System Manager control value assigned to the tax class. The tax class can be 0 through 6. A zero class is always zero tax. The default class is drawn from the part’s master record or set to 1 if a non-part item. The default is always zero if there is an Additional Address for the order which has the Zero tax rate default option checked, or where there is no additional address and the Customer has the Zero tax rate default option checked. The tax percent rate is saved with the line item record but can not be edited. It remains in force until invoicing when it is updated to reflect any changes in the “System Manager” settings. This provides for tax rate changes that are always applicable at the date of dispatch and invoice.

Warning WARNING: Line item tax class defaults using the rules above at the time it is created. After changing the Additional Address to one with a different option setting you may find that the default tax class will change.

Sales Unit of Measure

Sales Order Line Items. Sales UoM for the item. {SOLFILE.SOLSAUM char 6}

By default this is obtained from the part’s master record. It can be optionally changed but if the Stock UoM and Sales UoM texts are syntactically the same the multiplier will default to 1.0000.

It defaults to the account for the part or the default account for non-part sales. If no account is entered the default part account will be used. If you hold the shift key down when passing out of the account code box, the system will accept a non-Sales type G/L account, otherwise only a ‘S’ type account will be permitted. If you don’t have ledgers, this field can be used for any extra coding needs you may have.

Delivery Terms for Quotation

Sales Order Line Items. Quotation delivery terms. {SOLFILE.SOLDELI char 300}

Note NOTE: Normally the Delivery Terms can only be modified while the document is a quotation. If you set option optSOEditDeli to ‘1’, this field will remain editable after the quotation has been confirmed into a Sales Order.
