DIS control file enquiry (DMR15001)

General

Multi-currency: Indicates if the system will handle different currencies. If set to NO, it will not be possible to enter prices in currencies other than the system currency for sales prices.

Invoice round off: Indicates if invoice totals should be rounded off. The rounding rules are defined in the Currency table for each currency.

Main warehouse

Displays the code of your company’s main warehouse to be used as follows:

If DC1 Inventory Control is not installed, this warehouse will be used during the Internal replenishment suggestion routine as the supplying warehouse.
If Cost per warehouse is set to NO in this file and no Main cost warehouse is defined for the item, the warehouse defined here is used for landed costs calculation.
If the DC1 Contract Managed Inventory (CMI) application is installed and activated, the normal or trade (logical) warehouse (i.e. Whs characteristic = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) defined here will be defaulted during picking and receptions for any inventory contracts you plan on entering into if a warehouse is not defined for the user in Work with user profiles.

BtB feature used

Indicates if the BtB (i.e. Back to back order) feature is used within the system. If set to NO, the fields associated with a BtB will not be displayed to the user.

Back to Back orders are sales orders from which purchase orders can automatically be created. A BtB purchase order can have two different types of delivery, i.e. transit delivery or direct delivery. A transit delivery means that the goods will be delivered from the supplier’s premises to our transit stock, and then to the customer. A direct delivery means that the goods will be delivered directly from the supplier to the customer.

The BtB feature is also used for sales order lines that are connected to a manufacturing order as well as for manufacturing order material that is connected to purchase order lines. This means that reservations are booked against the transit stock, and that receptions are put into the transit stock.

Costs

Sep cost handling

Indicates if the system differs between the costs of items when stored in the normal stock and when stored in the transit stock (if there is a difference). This information is only applicable if the BtB feature used field is set to YES.

If this field is set to YES, every time goods are received into transit stock on a BtB transit purchase order, the Last transit p.cost and Average transit cost fields are updated for the item in the Item file. If set to NO, the two fields mentioned in the Item file are not displayed and used, which means that the normal stock (Last purchase cost and Average cost) is updated as if the item was received into the normal stock.

Margin cost basis

Displays the code indicating what cost is used to calculate the profit margin at Sales order line entry, Quotation line entry, Sales order profit enquiry and Sales quotation profit enquiry.

Valid codes are:

Code	Description
1	Average cost
2	Standard cost
3	Last purchase cost
4	Purchase price 1 (in Item file, Purchase prices panel)
5	Standard cost sales

Cost per warehouse

Indicates if the Cost per warehouse feature is activated in the system. If set to YES, cost prices are entered/updated on Item/Warehouse level, allowing you to more accurately identify how much it costs to supply each warehouse with goods. If set to NO, the Main cost warehouse for the item in the Item file is used for the landed cost calculation. If the To warehouse in the landed costs definition is the same as the item’s main cost warehouse, landed costs are updated for the item. If no Main cost warehouse is defined for the item, the Main warehouse from this file is used.

Note: Although the possibility exists to deactivate this function, (by changing the code from YES to NO in the maintenance program), once activated, it would not normally be deactivated.

Aut stand pur price: Indicates if the standard purchase price should automatically be updated to the Item file or Item/Warehouse file when a purchase price is added or changed.

Order cost: This field is not displayed if DC1 Inventory Control is installed and activated. Displays the order cost to be used in the WILSON formula calculation. The WILSON formula is used when calculating EOQ.

Stock rate

This field is used for two purposes:

If DC1 Inventory Control is not installed and activated, this field displays the stock rate (carrying rate) to be used in the WILSON formula calculation. If DC1 Inventory Control is installed, the stock rate to be used is defined in the Replenishment control code table in DC1 Inventory Control.
This field is also used to estimate the cost of tied up capital in the Start periodical balance update program. This function updates the cost of actual inventory into the Balance file, which in turn can be included in Profitability analysis reports in the DC1 Report Writer.

Sales order cost: Displays the estimated cost for your company, derived from every sales order, when a customer places an order. This cost is used to update records in the Balance file for the Balance type 066. The applicable data for the balance type is updated when you invoice. This balance type can, in turn, be included in reports you create via the Profitability Analysis tool in DC1 Analyser and the DC1 Report Writer. Balance information can also be analysed in the Balances and transactions enquiry.

Sales order lne cost: Displays the estimated cost for your company, derived from every sales order line, when a customer places an order. This cost is used to update records in the Balance file for the Balance type 009 if the order line is for a sales order type or Balance type 209 if the order line is for a service order type. The applicable data for the balance type is updated when you invoice. This balance type can, in turn, be included in reports you create via the Profitability Analysis tool in DC1 Analyser and the DC1 Report Writer. Balance information can also be analysed in the Balances and transactions enquiry.

Quotation line cost: Displays the estimated cost for your company, derived from every quotation, when a customer quotation is entered. This cost is used to update records in the Balance file for the Balance type 083. The applicable data for the balance type is updated when you run the Start periodical balance update routine. This balance type can, in turn, be included in reports you create via the Profitability Analysis tool in DC1 Analyser and the DC1 Report Writer. Balance information can also be analysed in the Balances and transactions enquiry.

Statistics

Delay update: This field is used in the report writer function and is set to YES if you want to delay updating invoice statistics to the Statistics balance file. (For example, you can update the statistics at night). Note: To update delayed statistics, execute the Transfer delayed statistics program. If the Cost per warehouse on this panel is set to NO, this warehouse will be used when calculating Standard Landed Costs.

Order flow log: This field is only displayed if DC1 Analyser is installed and activated. Indicates if the Order flow log function is activated. If set to YES, information will be updated in the Order flow log file each time a change occurs for a purchase/sales order line at a log point.

Order status: This field is only displayed if DC1 Analyser is installed and activated. Indicates if the Order status statistics function is activated. If set to YES, information will be updated in the Order status statistics file each time a purchase/sales order changes status at a valid log point.

For more details, see the Panel help for the Start periodical balance routine.

NCC retention period: If the function for rejection of received goods during Confirm quality control note is used, this field displays the number of days the non-conformity certificates should be kept in the system. When you run the Reorganise non-conformity certificate file program, all non-conformity certificates older than this number of days are deleted.

Quot expiry days: Displays the number of working days which will be added to the current date of a quotation to give you a default expiry date for the quotation.

DIS control file enquiry, Pricing policies (DMR15002)

Related topics

The pricing policies for the DC1 company are displayed on this panel.

Standard price list

The system supplies a default price list identifier (price list 01 in Sales Price list table), which is automatically connected in this field. Note: You do not have to use it or establish any other Sales price list because you can define the prices in the Customer contracts or Sales pricing methods. When DC1 Distribution runs the main pricing program (DMR910) it will start with retrieving a Base price. The base price retrieval will be done using price lists in the following order until a price is retrieved:

Using the price list that has been passed to the program as an input parameter. In sales order entry this will be the price list that you find in the order header (and that price list is retrieved from the Customer file and can also be overridden).
Using the standard price list defined in this file.

It will use this base price as the starting point for calculating any prices or discounts as it needs a starting price in the event that it encounters only discounts in the Customer contracts and Sales pricing methods. It will also use this base price when checking against amount limits if no price has been encountered at that point.

Enter a code from the Sales price list table indicating the standard price list that will be used as the system default.

Sequence for pricing

The entries in the three fields below define the sequence (1-3) in which the system will search the Sales price list, Customer contracts and Sales pricing methods in order to calculate the sales price for a sales order/quotation line. Sequence 1 is read before sequence 3. During this search it may be possible that more than one price is found. In such an event the First price or Best value compared to promotion parameters (the First price/prom or Best value/prom fields) must be defined to control this.

Contract: Displays a value from 1-3 which indicates the sequence in which the system will search the Customer contract file to calculate the sales price for a sales order/quotation line.

Price list: Displays a value from 1-3 which indicates the sequence in which the system will search the Sales price list file to calculate the sales price for a sales order/quotation line.

Pricing method: Displays a value from 1-3 which indicates the sequence in which the system will search the Sales pricing methods file to calculate the sales price for a sales order/quotation line.

First price/prom

When the First price/promotion is run it will take the first price that is found from any of the three pricing sources, (i.e. Contract, Price list or Normal sales pricing method), and compare that net price with the best net price from the Promotion sales pricing methods.

If this flag is set to YES, the system will select the lowest of either the first price found, or the promotion type method selected. Which promotion record is selected will depend upon the settings of the Stop search field on each of the qualifying methods. If all of these have Stop search set to NO then the best promotion price will be used. If any of the promotion methods have Stop search set to YES then the lowest price found in the promotion records that have been read up to and including this one will be used.

Note: Both the First price/prom and Best value/prom fields may be set to NO in which case the first price found will be used.

Best value/prom

When the Best value/promotion is run the search is performed on the following pricing sources: Contracts, Price list, Normal sales pricing method and Promotional sales pricing method.

If this flag is set to YES, the system will select the lowest net price found from any of these pricing sources (chain discounts will also be included in the net price if that is applicable). Which normal or promotion pricing method record is selected will depend upon the settings of the Stop search field on each of the qualifying methods. If all of the normal or promotion pricing method records have Stop search set to NO then the best normal or promotion price will be used in the comparison to find the best net price. If any of the normal or promotion pricing methods have Stop search set to YES then the lowest price found in the normal or promotion records that have been read up to and including this one will be used.

Note: Both the Best value/prom and First price/prom fields may be set to NO in which case the first price found will be used.

Short term pricing

Indicates if short term pricing is allowed. If set to YES, you can use the validity dates of the Sales pricing methods (in the Sales pricing methods file) as additional keys to allow you to limit the time span that the methods are effective. These validity dates are typically used to modify an existing method for a short period of time without making extensive changes to the method definition itself.

Short term pricing will first consider method details specified with both Valid from and Valid to dates. Where there are overlapping dates, the system wll select the detail with the closest Valid from date prior to the pricing date. It will then select method details with open date ranges.

FOC items

Indicates if Free of charge items are allowed as a method of giving discounts. FOC items as discounts are not valid for Order line summary discounts (type O) or Header discounts (type H). If you set this flag to YES, you will be able define FOC discounting information for Limit codes, Customer Contracts, Sales price list (via an attached Limit code) and Sales pricing method types (excluding O and H). If you set this flag to NO, the FOC items related fields will not be displayed in the system.

The valuation of FOC items can be utilized in the “First price/best value compared with promotion” pricing logic, Promotion budgeting and SMS rebate claims. The value of the FOC items represents the net price of an item in the normal situation, i.e. it represents the pricing of an item, when it is not given away as a FOC item (for example, picking an item’s price from a sales price list).

If an FOC item line is created as a result of the pricing of a sales order line, a reference between the base line and the FOC item lines will be visible throughout the entire sales order process (displayed in the Line connection enquiry which is accessible via the function list in the sales order/quotation related programs). Profit calculation, statistics and bookkeeping will also be affected for base lines that have connected FOC item lines. The FOC item information can also be printed on various external printouts. See FOC item information print on this panel for more information.

Additional discount

Indicates if the system should apply any applicable discounts to a manually entered price or discount on a sales order line/quotation line.

If this field is set to NO the result is as follows: If a price and/or discount is manually entered, at the creation of a sales order (or quotation) line, no other discounts except H type will be automatically applied.

The Man price field (i.e. manually priced at creation) in sales order and quotation line entry is used together with this field to control which types of discount are automatically applied at creation of the line. See The types of discounts automatically applied to the line for more information.

Chain discount

Indicates if chain discounts can be applied in DC1 Distribution. Chain discounts can be applied on top of prices and discounts generated from a Customer contract, Sales price list and/or Sales Pricing method type of N (Normal).

If set to YES, you will be able to set the Chain discounts flag to YES or NO for each individual price or discount in Customer contracts, Sales price lists and Sales pricing methods of types N, C and P. If set to NO, the Chain discount discount related fields will not be displayed in the system.

Note: The actual chain discounts to be applied are set up as a Sales Pricing method type C in the Sales pricing methods file.

Bonus: This field denotes if the same item bonus functionality is activated in the system. This functionality gives you the possibility to offer a sales incentive in the form of a “same item bonus”, i.e. the customer is not charged for one or more of the same item on a sales order. For example, the ordered quantity can be 10 but the invoiced quantity can be 8.

Order summary disc

Indicates if Order summary discounts (i.e. Sales pricing method types O and H) can be applied in DC1 Distribution. Order summary discounts can be applied on top of prices and discounts generated from a Customer contract, Sales price list and/or Sales pricing method of type N (Normal), C (Chain) and/or P (Promotion).

If set to YES, you will be able to set the Order summary disc flag to YES or NO for each individual price or discount in Customer contracts, Sales price lists and Sales pricing methods of types N, C and P. If set to NO, the Order summary discount related fields will not be displayed in the system.

Note: The actual discounts to be applied are set up as a Sales Pricing method type O (Order line summary discount) and/or H (Header discount) in the Sales pricing method file.

Basket processing

Basket is a DC1 term that signifies a collection of item related elements, (e.g., item, item group, item family), that together form an entity upon which order summary sales pricing methods, with types O (Order line summary discount) and H (Header discount), can be applied.

If this flag is set to YES, it means you want to allow basket processing in this company. If this flag is set to NO, basket processing will not be permitted and no related fields will be displayed on panels.

You create the basket definitions in the Work with baskets file. Pre-defined keys may have been set up to limit the flexibility of the basket definitions. See the help description for Fixed basket keys and Keys 1-3.

Fixed basket keys

Baskets can basically be defined with any mix or combination of the item related sales related keys. In addition, a high volume of files accesses takes place during the basket qualification process. DC1 installations with many basket definitions and high volume of sales order lines may experience a reduction in performance when retrieving baskets in the pricing process. To prevent this, a mechanism is in place making it possible to reduce the file accesses and increase performance by limiting the combination of keys that can be used to define baskets. These fixed basket key 1-3 fields allow you to define the item related keys (from the DIS control keys file) that will be used as pre-defined keys when baskets are defined.

If any one of these keys is filled in here the basket pricing set-up process will restrict the possibility to flexibly define any key combination for a basket in the Work with baskets file, and only permit these fixed basket pricing key(s) to be used.

Keys 1-3: Displays the item related keys from the DIS control keys file that will be used as pre-defined keys when baskets are defined. If one of these keys is filled in, the basket pricing set-up process will protect the possibility to flexibly define any key combination for baskets, in the Work with baskets file. This means that only the fixed basket pricing keys, defined here, will be permitted for use.

A/R payment terms

Cash discount deduct

Indicates if the cash discount should be deducted from the VAT base amount. If set to YES, the Cash discount percentage 1, defined in the Terms of payment table, shall be deducted from the VAT base amount before the calculation of invoice total and VAT amount is done in the sales order Invoicing routine. The cash discount percentage will then be displayed on the invoice and invoice copy before the presentation of VAT lines, if this feature is selected and the cash discount is not zero.

Note: The entry for this field can, optionally, be overridden on Customer level in the Business partner file.

Example 1:

Cash discount deduct	YES
Net amount on order line	100.00
VAT percentage	25 %
Cash discount percentage	10 %

The values on the invoice are:

Order line total	100.00
VAT amount (25 % of 90.00)	22.50
Invoice total	122.50

Example 2:

Cash discount deduct	NO
Net amount on order line	100.00
VAT percentage	25 %
Cash discount percentage	10 %

The values on the invoice are:

Order line total	100.00
VAT amount (25 % of 100.00)	25.00
Invoice total	125.00

Order summary base values

If you intend to apply Order summary related discounts (i.e. Types O (Order line summary discount) and/or H (Header discount) in the Sales pricing methods file) the system will have to perform a calculation to work out the total price and, therefore, needs to know what price it should use (i.e. undiscounted or discounted price). The fields below specify which price it should use.

Line level: Indicates if the order line non-discounted price or net price is to be used in the order summary line level discounts calculation. Note: This net price is the net price before any order summary discounts have been applied (O-type or H-type discounts), i.e. after the very last chain-discount.

Header level: Indicates if the order line non-discounted price or net price is to be used in the order summary header level discounts calculation. Note: This net price is the net price before any order summary discounts have been applied (O-type or H-type discounts), i.e. after the very last chain-discount.

FOC item information print

Indicates if Free of charge item information should be printed on each external document. This information will include the base and dependent FOC line references.

For example:

For all Base lines for FOC item lines, all connected FOC item lines will be printed: Dependent FOC item line 99999
For all Dependent FOC item lines the originating base line for the FOC item will be printed: FOC item from line 99999

Quotation: Indicates if you want FOC item information (i.e. base and dependent FOC line references) printed on the quotation printout and the quotation list type 2 printout.

Order confirmation: Indicates if you want FOC item information (i.e. base and dependent FOC line references) printed on the order confirmation printout.

Transport note: Indicates if you want FOC item information (i.e. base and dependent FOC line references) printed on the transport note printout.

Invoice: Indicates if you want FOC item information (i.e. base and dependent FOC line references) printed on the invoice.

Related topics

This panel displays the package type information that has been defined in your system. This information is used by the Shipment preparation process and the Package type table for planning routes, package handling, and re-assigning shipments as well as automatic numbering of EAN-13 numbers.

Function keys

Extended nbr series enq

Access the Extended number series enquiry to view number series for pallets, packages, and serialized put away labels, and EAN-13 numbers (if the EAN-CRT (Automatic create of EAN number) function has been activated in the Function control file).

EAN creation set-up

This function key is only displayed if the EAN-CRT (Automatic create of EAN number) function has been activated in the Function control file. Access the EAN creation set-up panel where you can view the types of items that allow automatic creation of EAN-13 numbers. You can also view exceptions for the existing item-related DIS control keys (i.e. the values for the items that are not to be included in the automatic EAN-13 number creation).

Length of com prefix

Displays the number of digits that the Company prefix parameter (below) must be comprised of. This value determines the length of the code used to identify your package number series as well as EAN-13 number series.

Permitted values are:

Company prefix: Displays the code that will identify your company in the package number series and/or the EAN-13 number series. Note: The number of digits displayed in this field correspond to the value entered in the Length of com prefix field (above).

Package type class: Displays a value ranging between 1 and 9 that is used to classify the package type. This digit is the first digit used in the package numbering. Typically the value 3 displayed in this field as it is an EAN numbering standard that identifies an “unclassified document type”. This value can be overridden by the Package type table.

Extended number series

Package: Displays a code from the Work with extended number series table indicating the package number series used by your company. Note: To view this table click Enq extended numb series.

Pallet

Displays the name of the pallet number series. This record must be defined in the Work with extended number series table. To view these records click Enq extended numb series.

Put away label

Displays the name of the number series for serialized put away labels. This record must be defined in the Work with extended number series table. To view these records click Enq extended numb series. This is used when put away is done for items not received in pallets.

Serialized put away labels can be printed for received cases or stock units. This serialized put away label number can be used for R/F put away. If you, e.g. scan the pallet number, then the system will identify the correct put away instruction and suggest the put away location.

EAN number: This field is only displayed if the EANCRT (Automatic create of EAN number) function is activated in the Function control file. Displays a code from the Work with extended number series table to denote the number series that will be used by your company for automatic numbering of EAN-13 numbers.

Re-assign shipment

There may be times when a change to a sales order line causes it to be bumped off a shipment.

This may be due to:

the dispatch date may be different than that of the outgoing shipment
change of manner of transport
dispatch date changed
change in destination

Whether or not the sales order line will be re-assigned to another shipment depends upon how the following four parameters are set up.

Changes to the sales order line can be incurred:

Manually
During sales order re-planning
During BtB orders
or through the Data interchange file

There are two ways that a sales order can be assigned to a shipment:

Automatically by the system
Manually by a user

Automatically assigned: Only orders that were booked onto a shipment by the system will be automatically re-assigned.

Manually assigned: If a sales order line was manually booked onto a shipment. The system will not re-assign it. It must be manually re-assigned to another shipment.

For example: If changes are made to an order (that had been manually assigned to a shipment) and, as a result of these changes, can no longer be included on that shipment, then the order will have to be manually re-assigned to another shipment.

Manual change: Indicates that if goods are bumped off a shipment due to a manual change in the Work with sales order routine then they should be assigned to a new shipment.

Replanning: Indicates that if goods are bumped off a shipment due to a change caused by the sales order replanning routine then the sales order line then they should be assigned to a new shipment.

BtB/MDC change

Indicates that if goods are bumped off a shipment due to a change in the BtB sales order or MDC sales order then they should be assigned to a new shipment.

Note: This is not to be confused with the manual change of the BtB sales order line; that would be controlled by the Manual change parameter (above). This type of change can occur, for example, when the BtB order is automatically created via the purchase order entry routine (the Transit delivery or Direct delivery field is set to YES in the Purchase order type table). Some changes to the Purchase order may impact the BtB sales order. If these changes result in the BtB order being removed from the shipment then the value YES in this field will cause the BtB order line to be designated to another shipment.

DI change: Indicates that if the goods are bumped off a shipment due to changes coming out of the Data Interchange file then they should be assigned to a new shipment. Note: This can include changes that were made by the MDC supplying to the sales order line.

Assign at ord close: If this field is set to YES, it means that the sales order lines should be assigned to a delivery route once an order is closed. If it is set to NO, it means that the sales order lines should be assigned to a delivery route once they are entered.

Search time period: This field is used whenever orders are moved to another shipment. This field specifies, up to, the number of work days, shipments can be bumped up. All of the outgoing shipments that are available during that time frame will be searched to see if the order can be placed in it. This field displays the number of days in which the order can be bumped up.

DIS control file enquiry, Unfulfilled supply (DMR15007)

Related topics

Information regarding any items not supplied to the customer can be printed on external documents and DI documents (ORDRSP, DESADV and INVOIC). The source for this information can be:

Lost sales statistics
Two functions for automatic lost sales recording are available; one for interactive entered orders (LSTSL-AO = Lost sales, auto fulfillment DI) and one for batch created (LSTSL-DI = Lost sales, auto fulfillment DI). If these are activated in the Function control file, then lost sales information will be generated when order fulfilment rules are applied and an order line cannot be fully supplied. Note: It is not only automatically created lost sales that can be printed. You can define per lost sales reason code if you want transactions for the actual lost sales reason code printed.
Lines to be delivered later
Alternative supply source (i.e. dispatch from other warehouse than requested)

This panel displays what unfulfilled supply information you want printed and on which external documents. In the Customer file you set the Unfulfilled supply field to YES if the customer wants this information. This value can be changed for a specific order on order header level. This controls whether the information is printed or not on the documents defined in this file.

If, for example, this information should be printed on the Transport note, the normal lines are printed first. At the end of the printout the heading Not supplied items, Delivered later and/or Alternate supply will be printed together with appropriate information.

Purchase orders

Min overall supp rate

If the quality rate function is to be used when purchase orders are entered, an overall quality rate for the suppliers is displayed in this field. The quality rate is a percentage that can be manually entered for each supplier to control that products only are purchased from supplier that attains a certain quality rate. The quality rate can be entered in the Business partner file for each supplier. It can also be entered in the Item file for each product.

If a quality rate is entered in the Business partner file, which is lower than the value entered in this field, an error message will be displayed.

Fixed PO rates: The value in this field is retrieved to all purchase order headers as a default. It determines what rate the system should use when calculating the exchange rate on the purchase order line at goods reception. If set to YES, it means that the exchange rate on the purchase order header, or in the landed cost files, is retrieved to the purchase order line. If set to NO, it means that the current exchange rate, defined in the Exchange rate table, should be retrieved.

PO value incl VAT: Indicates if the system should always display the total purchase order header value including VAT for business partners for which VAT applies.

Await cost check

Indicates if stock on hand should no be updated until landed costs are defined for a received purchase order. If set to YES, goods received on a purchase order will not be available for sales until the landed costs are entered on the purchase order (if landed cost is required for that particular order) and the reception is booked. Landed costs are costs incurred in bringing the goods from the supplier’s premises to the receiving warehouse, for example freight costs, insurance costs, etc.

If set to NO, the goods that you are purchasing will be available for sale even though you have required landed cost for the purchase order.

The value displayed in this field will be suggested when goods are received in the following programs: Confirm reception note confirmation and Receive replenishment line. The suggested value can be changed in both those programs.

Unit for volume: This field is used as information and indicates the unit of measure for volume in the system. Displays a code from the Unit table, indicating the unit to be used when measuring volume, e.g., LITRE.

Pallet reg number: Displays the pallet registration number of your company, if any, which is printed on freight documents. The pallet registration number can also be entered per warehouse in the Warehouse table.

Goods address number: Displays the goods address number of your company, if any, which is printed on freight documents. The goods address number can also be entered per warehouse in the Warehouse table.

Fee limit back order

This field is only displayed if the FREICALC (Freight fee calculation) function is activated in the Function control file. It is an optional entry and only applicable if you want to prevent back order lines from being included in the freight fee calculation. This entry is on system level, but can be overridden per customer in the Work with business partners, Customer file. Displays the fee limit for back order lines. When a pick list is confirmed and any line on the order has status 60 (invoiced line), the total weight for confirmed lines is compared to this value. The result is as follows:

If the Fee limit back order field does not contain any value (here or in the Customer file) a freight fee calculation will be performed for all back order lines.
If a value is defined in the Fee limit back order field (here or in the Customer file) the freight fee calculation will only take place if the total weight of the remaining order lines is greater than this value.

During any freight fee calculation, the system will search for a freight fee that could be based on a freight fee per package or weight limit. If found, that freight fee will be added to any additional invoice containing the back order lines. See Set up freight fees for more information.

Labels

Barcode: Displays a code from Work with barcodes. This code is used when you print stock control labels and despatch labels, if no barcode is entered in the Business partner file for the customer/supplier. The barcode controls which of the 16 valid barcodes that should be used when printing barcoded information.

Labelling code: Displays a code from the Labelling code table. This code is used when you print stock control labels and despatch labels, if no labelling code is entered in the Business partner file for the customer/supplier or in the Item file for the product. The labelling code controls which information should be printed on labels and whether the information should be barcoded as well as being in human readable format.

Surcharge handling: Indicates if the surcharge handling functionality should be activated. See Set up surcharge fees for instructions.

Item display/search

Item segmentation

Indicates if item segmentation is used in the system. Item segmentation is a function used to categorise (split) items into different logical, meaningful segments. Two segmentation methods are available: Segmentation using delimiters or Segmentation by length. The type of method and structure you want is defined in the Item segmentation type table. You can also choose to validate the segments against a table containing valid segment values. You define the valid segment values in the Item segment value table.

Note: When adding or maintaining an item in the Item file, the actual segmentation of the item is performed upon completing the Segmentation type field on the Basic data panel and clicking OK. You can also re-segment existing items by changing the value in the Segmentation type field on that panel. All segment fields can be used as search fields and in statistics.

Search delimiter

When searching for items in any input-capable Item field, you can simplify the search by entering a search delimiter(s). Displays the character that should be used as the search delimiter in the Item entry field when the item is retrieved via item segment search words. For example, if the search delimiter displayed here is a comma (,) and you want to search for all items containing the parameter L (for Large) in segment 3, you would enter ,,L in the Item input field.

Note: If Default search mode = 2 (Item search fields search) on this panel, then the character specified here is also used when the item is retrieved via this default search mode.

Posn cursor in segm

Whenever you click the prompt icon to the right of an input-capable Item field or enter a non-valid item and click OK, then the system prompts the Select item panel. Where the cursor is positioned on this panel depends on the following:

If you search by search delimiter (defined in the Search delimiter field above) the cursor will be positioned in the first searched segment. This overrides any value displayed in this field.
If this field displays 0, the cursor is positioned in the Item field, regardless if Item segmentation is activated or not.
If this field displays a value of 1 through 6, the cursor is positioned in the corresponding Segm. field.

Description sequence: If this field is set to YES, the items are sorted and displayed in item description sequence when you access the Select item panel. If set to NO, the items are displayed in primary segment sequence.

Default search mode

Displays the default search mode code which determines how the system should perform the initial search for items in the Select item program when an exact match cannot be found for the entered value.

The following panel values exist:

Display/entry delim: This field is only displayed if the D/E-UNIT (Display/Entry unit handling) function is activated in the Function control file. Displays the delimiter to be valid when entering/displaying quantities for the display/entry unit. You define per item (Item file, Inventory information panel) whether or not this delimiter should be used. See About display/entry unit handling for more information.

Item classification

Active

This field is only displayed if the CLA-ITEM (Item classification) function is activated in the Function control file. Indicates if the item classification functionality should be activated for the DC1 company. (See About Item Classification handling in DC1 for more information about the functionality). When activated and item classification data is set up within the system, this flag will be protected and no deactivation is possible.

Note: If you want to deactivate after data has been set up, all data must first be uninstalled (reorganized) before proceeding with deactivation. The reason for this is that once item classification is deactivated, no controls will take place to ensure database integrity of the item classification entities and connected items. This will make any data set up within item classification useless with unpredictable results if it is attempted to be used later on by re-activating item classification.

Main group: This field is only displayed if the CLA-ITEM (Item classification) function is activated in the Function control file. Indicates the item related control key (from the DIS control keys file) that is to be used as the Main group entity of the grouping structure within item classification. Only item related keys (11 through 22) are valid for use and any chosen must not have already been entered for Group, Classification profile 1 or Classification profile 2. Note: The names for the grouping structure entities (Main group, Group, Classification profile 1 and 2) are just concepts within Item classification. You can decide the applicable name by changing the panel lead text and description for the chosen keys in the DIS control keys file. This information will be displayed in all files/tables where these concepts are used.

Group: This field is only displayed if the CLA-ITEM (Item classification) function is activated in the Function control file. Indicates the item related control key (from the DIS control keys file) that is to be used as the Group entity of the grouping structure within item classification. Only item related keys (11 through 22) are valid for use and any chosen must not have already been entered for Main group, Classification profile 1 or Classification profile 2.

Max no of charact P1: This field is only displayed if the CLA-ITEM (Item classification) function is activated in the Function control file. An item can hold an unlimited number of characteristics which are inherited from both item classification profiles 1 and 2. Displays either blank/zero (which means that no limit restriction check will take place and you can run as many as you like), or the maximum number of characteristics that are allowed to be attached to an item classification profile 1. A classification profile must hold at least one characteristic. If defining a limit, it is your choice how you want to share the characteristics between the two profiles (e.g., Maximum no of charact P1 = 1 and Max no of charact P2 = 98, or however you want to divide them up).

Max no of charact P2: This field is only displayed if the CLA-ITEM (Item classification) function is activated in the Function control file. An item can hold an unlimited number of characteristics which are inherited from both item classification profiles 1 and 2. Displays either blank/zero (which means that no limit restriction check will take place and you can run as many as you like), or the maximum number of characteristics that are allowed to be attached to an item classification profile 2. A classification profile must hold at least one characteristic. If defining a limit, it is your choice how you want to share the characteristics between the two profiles (e.g., Maximum no of charact P1 = 1 and Max no of charact P2 = 98, or however you want to divide them up).

Max no of more sel: This field is only displayed if the CLA-ITEM (Item classification) function is activated in the Function control file. Indicates how many characteristics are allowed to be selected during the more selection routine when searching for specific item profiles within item classification. The more selection routine can be invoked during select item, where a large number of characteristics might be available to search on but could potentially cause performance problems. This field is used to restrict the user from selecting more than the limit specified here. Note, however, that a maximum of 30 characteristics is supported by DC1 to build up a search criteria in the mentioned search routine.

Prof uniqueness lvl

This field is only displayed if the CLA-ITEM (Item classification) function is activated in the Function control file. Indicates the level that determines how unique the item profile (i.e. set of characteristics and values) is within the item classification.

Valid codes are:

Code	Description
1	Item level This is the highest level. No items with the same profile are allowed to be created within the item classification at any level.
2	Main group level Items with the same profile are not allowed to be created within the same main group.
3	Group Items with the same profile are not allowed to be created within the same group.
4	Classification definitions Items with the same profile are not allowed to be created within the same classification definitions.
5	None This is the lowest level. No profile uniqueness check at all. Items can share same profile at any level within the item classification grouping structure.

Inventory contract

Number series: This field is only displayed if the DC1 Contract Managed Inventory (CMI) application is installed and activated. If you created a number series for inventory contracts in the Extended number series table, to let the system automatically assign the ID’s when you create the inventory contracts, this field displays the number series.

Delivery schedules

One order/item

This field is used when creating sales orders from a Delivery schedule. Customers can send delivery schedules using Data Interchange (e.g., EDI) which can be received in DC1. A delivery schedule contains information about items to deliver, the quantity to deliver and when to deliver. From a delivery schedule sales orders can be created.

Indicates if one order should be created for each item included in a delivery schedule. If set to NO, all items on a delivery schedule will be grouped into a single order.

No of history gener

This field is used in the Delivery schedule routine. Customers can send delivery schedules using Data Interchange (e.g., EDI) which can be received in DC1. A delivery schedule contains information about items to deliver, the quantity to deliver and when to deliver. When one delivery schedule already exists for a customer in the Delivery schedule file, that delivery schedule will be considered as history when a new delivery schedule is received from the customer.

This field is used to control how many delivery schedules which are considered as history, that should be kept in the system. It might be valuable to keep, for instance, the three latest delivery schedules for follow up purposes. In this case this field displays 3.

Note: This information can also be defined for the customers in the Business partner file, DI documents panel (for document DELFOR). If defined in the Business partner file, that information will be used instead of this field.

Warn limit %, total

This field is used in the Delivery schedule routine. Customers can send delivery schedules using Data Interchange (e.g. EDI) which can be received in DC1. A delivery schedule contains information about items to deliver, the quantity to deliver and when to deliver.

This field is used to activate a warning flag if the following applies:
A delivery schedule was received from a customer and updated in the Delivery schedule file. The customer sends a new delivery schedule which is received and updated in the Delivery schedule file. If the total quantity on the new delivery schedule, differs from the quantity on the “old” delivery schedule with more than the percentage defined in this field, the warning flag will be activated.

The system checks the quantities during the following period on the delivery schedules: From Schedule start date and a number of days ahead. The number of days are defined in the Warning horizon field below.

If the control is not performed then a value will not be added to this field.

Note: The warning percentage can also be defined for the customers in the Business partner file, DI documents panel (for document DELFOR). If defined in the Business partner file, that percentage will be used instead of the one defined in this field.

Warn limit %, line

This field is used to activate a warning flag if the following applies:
A delivery schedule was received from a customer and updated in the Delivery schedule file. The customer sends a new delivery schedule which is received and updated in the Delivery schedule file. If the quantity for any item included on the new delivery schedule, differs from the quantity for the corresponding item on the “old” delivery schedule with more than the percentage defined in this field, the warning flag will be activated.

The system checks the quantities for each day during the following period on the delivery schedules: From Schedule start date and a number of days ahead. The number of days is defined in the Warning horizon field below.

The field is blank if the control is not performed.
