Function keys

Unit: This field is used only for new entries. Enter a code from the Unit table, indicating the unit that you wish to establish for this item. Several units can be defined for one item, enabling you to sell/purchase the item in a different unit of measure than the one in which it is stored in stock.

Allowed on sales: Mandatory entry. Indicate if this unit of measure is valid on sales orders for this item.

Allowed on MDC: Mandatory entry. This field is only displayed if DC1 Multi-Distribution Centre (MDC) is installed. Indicate if this unit is valid on both MDC purchase orders and MDC sales orders. Note: If a unit is defined for MDC, the same unit must exist for this item in both the demanding company and the supplying company. This field must also be set to YES for both companies.

Allowed on pur: Mandatory entry. Indicate if this unit is valid on purchase orders for this item.

Allowed on BOM: Mandatory entry. Indicate if it is allowed to use the item unit in manufacturing bill of material. Note: This field is only displayed when the DC1 Manufacturing application is installed and active.

Number of decimals: Enter the number of decimals which must be defined when using this unit on orders. The range of decimals can be 0 to 3. If nothing is entered, 0 will automatically be defaulted. If the item is under serial number tracking, the number of decimals for the stock unit must be 0.

Conversion factor

Mandatory entry. Enter the conversion factor which will determine the relation between this unit and the stock unit.

Examples:

The stock unit for this item is PCS (pieces). The unit you are adding/changing here is BOXES. If 1 box contains 10 pieces, the conversion factor should be 10.
The stock unit for the item is BOXES. The unit you are adding/changing here is PCS (pieces). If 1 box contains 10 pieces, the conversion factor should be 0,1.

Note: The conversion factor must be 1 if the unit you are adding or changing on this panel is the stock unit for this item.

Default price unit: Price unit handling is typically used when you want to price your items in a different unit than the sales/purchase unit. There is the possibility to set up different default Sales/Purchase price units per item for the different unit values. The default values will only be used when prices are created and when prices are manually entered for order lines but no price unit is manually entered. Optional entry. Enter the default price unit for this item. See About price unit handling for more information.

Default sales qty: Optional entry. Enter the default sales quantity that will be used (retrieved) as the quantity for a new sales order/quotation line in the event that a quantity is not entered for the item and sales unit when the line is to be created. This quantity will also be used in the Customer service enquiry when no quantity is entered. Note: The Order type used on the Sales order/quotation must be set up on the Level keys level in Work with defaults and replacements.

Print SCM label: Mandatory entry. Indicate if the SCM/SSCC label is to be printed for the closed carton. See About the Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) for more information.

Auto gen pack info: Mandatory entry. Indicate if the packaging information for transporting goods to the customer should be automatically generated.

EAN number

Labelling code: Enter a code from the Labelling code table. The labelling code defines which information should be printed on labels and whether the information should be bar coded as well as being in human readable format. The labelling code defined here is used when you want to label goods whilst in stock. The labels are printed by the Print stock control labels program. If the field is left blank, a default labelling code, defined in the DIS control file in the Labelling code field, is used when printing labels for stock handling.

Package type: Enter a code from the Package type table indicating the type of packaging required by this item/unit combination. This information allows the Shipment preparation process to control the weight and volume of goods that are delivered. The information in this field is also used by the Pick list confirmation routines.

Package type qty: This field is used in conjunction with the Package type parameter (above). Enter the number of items that can be stored in the package type.

Dimensions update: This field is only displayed if DC1 Warehouse Management is installed and activated, and is only applicable for the unit that is defined as the stock unit for the item. Indicate if the WHM Item size file dimensions, (i.e. the dimensions under the Size &amp: Storage section on the Item file maintenance, Warehouse Management second panel), should be automatically updated. If this field is set to YES, the information will be retrieved from the Measurements fields for length, height and width on this panel for the item/stock unit.

Catch weight

Sales

This field is only displayed if the CTCH-WGT (Catch weight) function is activated in the Function control file and is an optional entry. Catch weight handling is an extension of price unit handling. This field is only applicable if the following is true:

A price unit is defined
The item is not fictitious
The item is not serial number controlled

Set this field to YES if the entry of catch weight quantity/quantities is allowed for the item/unit on sales order lines. See About catch weight handling for price units for more information.

Note: Catch weight is not supported for items included in a structure with sales price calculation code 1 or 3. A warning will be displayed to inform the user that the Catch weight flag on the sales order line will be set to NO for such items in a structure even though catch weight has been specified on the item/unit.

Variance % from: This field is only displayed if the CTCH-WGT (Catch weight) function is activated in the Function control file and is an optional entry. A variance limit range (from/to variance percentage) may be defined for the sales unit that is correlated with the price unit. This information is not logged in the system, but the user will be flagged with a warning if the entered catch weight quantity is within the variance range limit. If the entered catch weight quantity exceeds the variance range limit, the user will be prompted with a window where the entry of the exceeding quantity will have to be authorized. Enter the “from” limit range. See About catch weight handling for price units for more information.

Variance % to: This field is only displayed if the CTCH-WGT (Catch weight) function is activated in the Function control file and is an optional entry. A variance limit range (from/to variance percentage) may be defined for the sales unit that is correlated with the price unit. This information is not logged in the system, but the user will be flagged with a warning if the entered catch weight quantity is within the variance range limit. If the entered catch weight quantity exceeds the variance range limit, the user will be prompted with a window where the entry of the exceeding quantity will have to be authorized. Enter the “to” limit range. See About catch weight handling for price units for more information.
