General
Use this field to enter a sales group for the part. Sales part groups are used to organize parts into groups that are useful from a sales point of view.
If you usually sell the part to one customer, enter this customer in the Customer field. This does not automatically make the part customer-specific, which means that it can still be sold to other customers.
If you regularly sell the part to a variety of customers, click the Customers button to add these customers. You can also specify prices and pricing scales for each individual customer on these forms. Again, this does not automatically make the part customer-specific, which means that the part can still be sold to other customers.
If you want to sell the part only to the customer specified in the Customer field, or only to the customers added via the Customers button, select the Customer-specific part check box. In that case, the part can only be added to offers and orders for:
Use this field to specify the identification code the customer (Customer field) uses for the part.
This field contains the delivery time buyers should generally allow for when they buy this part. The delivery time is registered in regular weekdays.
Prices
Calculation unit, Calculation quantity
Use the Calculation unit field to specify the unit the price applies to. You can choose from the following options:
|
This is the stock unit that has been set on the General tab of the Parts form. |
|
Kilograms |
|
Square meters |
|
This is the purchase unit set on the Purchase tab of the Parts form. This option is only available for the calculation unit for the purchase price. |
|
This is the sales unit set on the Sales tab of the Parts form. This option is only available for the calculation unit for the sales price. |
Once you have made your choice, the calculation unit is displayed in the field to the right of the Calculation quantity.
In the Calculation quantity field, specify the number of calculation units to which the price applies. To specify a price per 100 kg, for example, choose 'Weight' in the Calculation unit field, and then enter '100' in the Calculation quantity field.
This is the standard sales price of the part. The sales price is automatically used on offers and orders for this part. The field value can still be modified here.
If you specify a surcharge or discount in the Surcharge/discount field, it will be included in the price. Isah will use the calculated sales price (including any surcharge or discount) as the sales price for this part.
Note: This field is found both on the Sales tab and on the Prices tab. A change on one tab is automatically applied to the other tab.
To specify multiple sales prices, such as customer-specific pricing scales or sales prices, click the Customers button. The price on the Sales tab is used only if no more specific price is available for a customer (for example, in a contract, price list, or under the Customers button).
In this case, enter a surcharge or discount percentage. The surcharge or discount sum is calculated on the price entered.
The surcharge/discount is copied automatically to purchase requirements and purchase order lines for this part. The field value can still be modified here.
To specify a surcharge, enter a positive percentage. To specify a discount, enter a negative percentage.
This is an informational field that cannot be modified. This is the calculated sales price (sales price including any surcharge or discount). Unless a more specific price is found for the customer (for example, in a contract), this is the price used as the sales price on offers and orders for this part. The field value can still be modified here.
Units
Use this field to define the unit the part is usually sold in. When filling in this field, you can select a value from the list box, or you can enter a unit that is not present in the list box. An example is the sales unit 'Box'.
The field to the right of the sales unit defines the number of stock units one sales unit consists of. This information is required to convert the different units in other parts of the software.
Enter a unit code for sales purposes. This unit code is used on offers and orders. If, for example, the unit code is 'Quantity * Length', a quantity and length will have to be specified on offers or orders for the part, and no width or height can be entered.
This field therefore directly controls the way in which the part is registered on offers and orders.
Note: If the sales unit code is different from the stock unit code, you need to specify a conversion value to the right of the Sales unit field, in order to enable the program to convert values between the two units.
Example
On the General tab, you have defined the following stock units for a part:
|
piece |
|
Quantity |
You can only sell the part in 10-piece boxes, however. In this case, you should specify the following units on the Sales tab:
|
Quantity |
|
Box |
The sales unit will therefore be converted as follows: Box = 10 pieces
Settings
Use this field to specify a default value to be used on new sales sublines to which this part is added. The field value can still be modified here.
The invoicing method is only relevant for dummy parts that are used to invoice costs or services involved in the supply of other, 'regular' parts, such as 'Administrative charges' for the 'Display' part.
A part that is related to another part can automatically be invoiced when you invoice the main part. To do so, in a sales order, create one sales line for the main part ('Display'), and include a subline for the related part ('Administrative charges').
The part on the subline will now automatically be included when the invoice is created for the main part, although you must have specified how the invoice sum of the subline should be processed. You can specify the processing method in the Invoicing method field.
You can choose from the following options:
|
Use this option for parts that are not of the 'Costs' or 'Services' type. |
|
There is no direct link between the shipment of the actual parts and the invoicing of costs or services. The costs and services will therefore not be invoiced via the shipping notes. If you choose 'No link', you could, for example, manually create invoices for costs and services. In the invoicing stage, you choose the invoice on which the costs or services must be included. |
|
Invoicing of costs and services is based on the number of actual parts shipped. For instance, if a quarter of the parts has been shipped, a quarter of the invoice sum for costs or services will be included on the sales invoice. |
|
The costs or services will be invoiced when the first shipment is made. |
|
All costs or services will be invoiced when the last shipment is made as soon as the shipment is confirmed as complete. |
|
The full amount of the costs or services specified will be charged for every shipment. |
The print code is used to specify the external documents on which the part must be included if a part is sold based on a sales offer or sales order. You can choose 'Do not print', or different combinations of order confirmation, shipping (shipping note) and invoicing (invoice).
For instance, if you include the part 'Administration costs' on a sales order, you probably do not want this part listed on the shipping note, but you do want it listed on the order confirmation and the invoice. In this case, choose the 'Order confirmation & Invoicing' print code.
This field's setting is the default value used on the sales lines when the part is included in a sales line. The field value can still be modified here.
