OVERVIEW
Marketing Project codes are optional codes for Marketing, Customer and Sales data. See the Marketing Data Maintenance window help for more details of Marketing Project codes and their use.
Parts, Customers and Suppliers can be assigned two index codes each. As the name suggests, they are codes that are used to index or classify their respective Parts, etc.. Care should be taken in deciding the functions of these codes. Reports and commands can be selectively applied to index codes. Because of their extensive availability for this purpose throughout the system, they are a very powerful tool. These index codes must first be defined in the File — System Manager — Index Codes menu function.
Additionally, there is a set of Incoterms. Incoterms are the internationally agreed method of designating trading transactions which cross national borders. They define the limits of commercial responsibility for the selling party and so clearly define the limits of cost of the delivery of the goods. In the system customers and additional delivery addresses have default Incoterms for sales orders and jobs, and from there onto invoices. There are also default Incoterms for Delivery Details that are then applied to Purchase Orders and subsequently recorded in Purchase History.
There are two additional codes held in the same file and maintained in the same window, but from Masters — Quality Assurance — Scrap and Test Codes menu function. Scrap Reason codes are used in Work Order history to classify reason for Work Order scrapping (see the Log Work Order Operational Performance window for details). Test codes are quality tests that can be added to a test regime (see the Part Quality Assurance Regime Maintenance window for details).
You can select which index code is listed by clicking on one of the radio buttons.
To edit a description, click and pause on the desired code line in the description column. You will not be able to edit the description in the list. If you wish to change the code, delete the old one and create a new one. Within the File — System Manager — Company Details maintenance window, the user may set up default index codes which will be initially applied when creating new parts, customers, or suppliers.
