The Revision field shows the revision of the part specified on the selected line. If revisions are not used in your company, the value of this field is always '000'. If you are using part revisions, the current revision is displayed and the date is equal to the start date of the revision.

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
Produce in new production file	Production
Copy calculation (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. To change both the shipping date of a sales line and the end date of linked production files, you need to select the End date of linked production files is based on shipping date option in the Settings menu of the sales line.

Note: If the end date of a production file changes as a result of a change to the shipping date, the start date of the production file will be deleted, to signal that the production file needs to be rescheduled.

This is the shipping date you have communicated to the customer. To change both the shipping date of a sales line and the end date of linked production files, you need to select the End date of linked production files is based on shipping date option in the Settings menu of the sales line.

Note: If the end date of a production file changes as a result of a change to the shipping date, the start date of the production file will be deleted, to signal that the production file needs to be rescheduled.

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.
