The Revision number field shows the revision of the part specified on the selected line. If revisions are not used in your company, this field is always set to revision number '000'. Initially, this field contains the revision that is valid on the date the line was added.

• If your company uses revisions by revision number (see the Basic data form, Revision management tab), you can select a different revision in the Revision number field. If you manually change the Part revision field, the Reference date field will be filled with the date on which the selected part revision becomes valid.
• If your company uses revisions by reference date (see the Basic data form, Revision management tab), you can enter another date in the Reference date field. The Reference date field is initially filled with the current date. If you enter a different date in this field, the part revisions will be checked to see which revision is valid on the reference date entered. This revision will then be filled in automatically in the Revision number field.

This is the unit in which the part quantity included on the sales line is expressed. There are two options: Sales unit and Unit. The sales unit of a part is set in the Parts module on the Sales tab, and the unit is set on the General tab.

Note: If you want to place a custom order with a supplier for the parts you specify on this sales line, you should set the unit to "Unit". The reason for this is that sales units cannot always be converted into purchase units, which makes it impossible to enter custom orders.

See also the Help for the Order code field on the Origin tab of the sales line.

This is the number of units ordered by the customer. The Unit field on the General tab shows the unit in question.

Use the Length, Width and Height fields to specify the dimensions of the part entered on this sales line. The fields to the right show the unit they are displayed in.

Note: Whether or not the fields are editable depends on the unit code specified for the part (Parts form, Sales tab). The dimension must exist in the unit code. For example, if you want to specify the height, you can only do so if you use the unit code 'Quantity*length*width*height'.

In this field, the sales quantity specified (Quantity*length*width*height; see the General tab) is converted into the number of sales units. You cannot change this field.

The sales unit of the part is retrieved from the Parts module (Parts form, Sales tab). The quantity is converted into sales units based on the settings specified for the part in the Parts module (for example, '100 stock units = 1 sales unit').

In this field, the sales quantity specified (Quantity*length*width*height; see the General tab) is converted into the number of stock units. You cannot change this field.

The stock unit of the part is retrieved from the Parts module (Parts form, General tab). The quantity is converted into stock units based on the settings specified for the part in the Parts module (for example, '1 sales unit = 100 stock units').

This is an informational field and cannot be modified. The contents of this field are derived from the Order code field on the Parts form (Logistics tab). It shows the default sourcing method for the part: Purchase, Stock, or Production.

Order code	Default origin
Purchase to custom order	Purchase
Purchase to order, commercial quantity	Purchase
In stock	Stock
Delivery by customer	Production
Copy calculation and delete part	Production
Produce in new production file	Production
Copy calculation and do not delete part (phantom)	Production

You are not required to use this default origin for this sales line: the Purchase, Stock, and Production fields allow you to specify the quantities that will actually be obtained from purchasing, stock, or production.

The desired shipping date is initially retrieved from the field with the same name in the sales offer or sales order header. If you want to change the shipping date for a sales line, as well as the end date of any linked production files, you need to enable the End date of linked production files based on shipping date setting on the sales line from the Settings menu.

Note: When the end date of a production file is changed, the start date of the production file will be deleted, to indicate that the production file must be planned again.

This is the shipping date you have communicated to the customer. If you want to change the shipping date for a sales line, as well as the end date of any linked production files, you need to enable the End date of linked production files based on shipping date setting on the sales line from the Settings menu.

Note: When the end date of a production file is changed, the start date of the production file will be deleted, to indicate that the production file must be planned again.

A sales routing can be used to control the status flow of a sales line.

In the Parts module, a default sales routing can be specified for each part (Parts form, Logistics tab). This default routing is automatically copied to the Routing field on the sales line. The value of this field can be changed only if:

• The rights assigned to your user name allow you to change the routing (General Settings module, Rights folder, Users form), and
• The Routing required check box on the sales line has not been selected.

The status indicates the phase the sales line is in, for example the 'Offer', 'Order', 'Production', or 'Purchase' phase. Statuses may be linked to a routing. If in the Routing field a routing has been filled in, the status filled in here must be linked to that routing.

You can change the status of the sales line using the Change status process from the Edit menu.

See also the Sales statuses and Sales routings files.

Note: When you change the status of a sales line, the status of any sublines will automatically change as well, provided that the sublines are for costs having an invoicing method relating to the sales line it is linked to.
