Authorizations

This function is object managed. The creation, modification, and deletion operations can be activated or deactivated for a given user. Filters by roles can also be associated with this function.

As data is linked to a site, a filter per site can be activated.

Bullet point  Proforma

Bullet point  Delivery

Bullet point  Invoice

Bullet point  Allocation

Bullet point  Close

Bullet point  Preparation

Bullet point  Issuing

Bullet point  Purchase back-to-back order

Entry transactions

This function is managed with entry transactions which can be set up.

A standard transaction is suggested when installing the software. A setup function is used to modify this standard transaction or create new personalized transactions. This setup essentially exists to specify some functional characteristics of the transaction and display as well as the default loading for certain fields.

Product record

For loan orders, the product must be managed by location (Product/site record, Management section) and the loan authorization must be selected (Product record, Sales section).

To perform a back-to-back order on a product, the Back-to-back order check box of the Sales section must be selected. There are three types of direct orders:

  • The purchase back-to-back order with receipt
  • The direct purchase back-to-back order (the supplier delivers the goods to the customer)
  • The production back-to-back order

The type of back-to-back order suggested by default depends on the product category, on the type of reorder suggestion defined on the Product-site record and on the Direct quantity defined in the Sales section of the product record.

For orders applying to service contracts, the order type used must be either normal or a direct invoicing. The product entered in the order line must not be managed in stock but it must be set to the service contract type and associated with a reference service contract in the After-sales section. On exiting order entry, the line carrying the contract product is automatically closed (which implies that a service contract are not included in the customer credit), and the service contract are automatically created using the contracts of the template contract.
The service contract start date is equal to the shipment date and the contract amount (on an annual basis) is equal to the net price entered in the order.
If the quantity entered for a service contract is greater than one unit, a message asks you the following question when saving the order: “Do you want to create several identical contracts?”
- If you answer No, the system only creates a single service contract for an amount equal to the net price multiplied by the entered quantity.
- If you answer Yes, the system creates as many service contracts as there are ordered quantities.

It should be specified that the contract product cannot be delivered and that the invoicing of this order line can be carried out by picking the contract available in the invoice management or automatic invoicing processing of service contracts. The invoiced amount then depends on the service contract and on the invoicing frequency. The amount entered in the order line corresponds to the total fee of the contract (see Service contracts management).

Customer record

For loan orders, the customer must be authorized for loans (Customer record, Management section).
Moreover, a Customer type location (stock at a BP premises) must be defined for the relevant delivery address.

80 80   8  Back-to-back

This option is used to generate a purchase back-to-back order in a customized manner, without using the automatic generation function Purchase back-to-back orders.

Update 8.0.0 and higher:
Purchase back-to-back orders are prohibited when the PURCTLPRI0 - Purchase price existence control parameter (ACH chapter, PRI group) is set to 'Control' and the product has no price:

  • The system has found no purchase price list for the back-to-back order supplier.
  • no purchase base price is entered on the product record,
  • The product has no standard cost, or the PURPRICE - Price by default standard cost parameter (chapter ACH, group PRI) is set to 'No'.
