Shipments
Use this function to manage the settings for the customization of the delivery entry screens.
A standard shipment entry transaction is initialized upon software installation. It can be modified or deleted using this option, which can also be used to create new ones.
You can set up several transactions for deliveries. Each transaction, identified by a code and a text description, appears in a selection window when calling the Deliveries function.

For each document or stock transaction type, it is possible to define as many entry transactions as necessary, each one being identified by a code. Each transaction is used to define, both for fields located on the document header and fields entered in the lines, whether they must be:
Upon validation of this setup, dedicated entry screens are created, and then can be used by any user having been granted rights on the access code defined on this setup header.

Select this option to define whether the bill of lading fields in the Deliveries function are displayed. If the activity code KUS - USA Localization and the USABOL - Bill of Lading parameter are set to ‘Yes’, then the SCAC (Standard Carrier Alpha Code) code and PRO (progressive) number will display on the delivery. |
Entry

Payment condition code. This code defines the payment code and the distribution rules of the various pre-payments and open items. It is possible to simulate a distribution thanks to the "Simulation" button. In order management, creation mode, the pre-payments corresponding to the payment condition are automatically created. The 'payment terms' code can be modified as long as no pre-payment has been made and the order has not been invoiced.

This information can only be entered in case of a shipment of sub-contractor type and, in this case, it is mandatory. It corresponds to the sub-contractor location that must be reordered in case of sub-contractor shortages. This location is initialized by default by the sub-contractor location defined in the ship-to customer record, then by the location defined in the supplier record if the location is not entered in the shipment address (on the condition that the location specified in the supplier exists in the shipment site). This location can however be modified from the moment the chosen location is of the sub-contractor type and belongs to the shipment site. |

It cannot be edited if the unit used is a unit defined for the customer. If units are used where the factor is modifiable, it is necessary to define for the product concerned, only prices expressed in stock unit. In addition, if a basic price list has been defined for the sales unit, the modification of the conversion factor for the sales unit does not trigger a recalculation of the unit gross price. Once the line entered, it is no longer possible to modify the conversion factor. The line must be deleted and recreated so as to modify the factor. |
field SAUCOESCR |
Specify, for this entry transaction, if the field must be present in:
|
Gross price (field GROPRICOD) |
Help common to the Order and Buyer plan functions. Use this field to determine the gross and excluding tax unit price of the product. This price is expressed in order unit if the Unit field is declared as accessible at the time of entry in the transaction, if not, it is expressed in purchase unit. When the main information for the line has been given, a price list search process is automatically carried out. The objective of this search is to recover:
When the entered price is null, a message appears to request confirmation from the user. In the Price field, you can use the Actions icon to:
The entry of other data on the line depends on the selected transaction. This is the case for example for the Site information, Quality control code, etc. Inter-company specificities: Within the framework of an inter-site or inter-company order, if the inter-company price lists have been set up, they will be used in the same way as normal price lists. When the sales order is generated, the prices and the discounts calculated for the reciprocal sales order will be determined from the inter-company price lists or the normal price lists. In no case will the prices and discounts entered in the purchase order be transferred to the sales order. The prices between the sales and purchasing documents can change independently. The reconciliation is made at the time of invoicing. |

Cost price (field CPRPRICOD) |
The 'cost price' is populated by default with the valuation of the product chosen for the margin calculation (see the valuation methods defined for the Product-Site record) at the time of the creation of the document line and is expressed in sales unit. The various possible choices for the cost price valuation are: Standard price, Revised standard price, Last price, Weighed average price, FIFO price, Lot average price and LIFO price. If the valuation method happened to return a zero value, a default value is used by specifying another valuation method contained in the list previously described. This value is stored in the "document" line. It is possible to preload this information according to the document transaction used. Still, during the following events, the entered value is systematically replaced by the value originating from the setup of the valuation method for the product, except if this setup determines a null value (in which case the change is saved):
In quote management, the 'lot average price' always returns a null value. A default value is used. During the delivery validation, the 'Lot average price' is used to recalculate the margin and obtain a real margin depending on the shipped lot(s). |
