Element line maintenance (POM003F)

Related topics

On this panel you can maintain both purchased and assembled items. See Add an item line to a project phase for more information.

Project items can be used to enter specially needed purchased items (e.g., crane, special engine) as cost element. Sales price and both planned and actual cost are available.

Each item line is added to the manual allocations. The total allocated quantity on a certain day is built up by using the quantities from the project/quotation item lines.

In this way the item lines are included in the time axis and in the material requirements planning. With the MRP Y/N code in the item warehouse information it is possible to avoid project assemblies to be calculated in the MRP.

The allocated quantity will be decreased at:

  • Planned/unplanned material issue to project
  • Receipt from production to project
  • Receipt from purchase to project

Sales price and both planned and actual cost are available. Planned cost can be calculated using the project/quotation product costing.

Each line can be indicated to be printed on the printout.

Actual cost is built up from the following routines:

  • Receipt from purchase (order link exist)
  • Receipt from production (order link exist)
  • Project transaction reporting
  • Invoicing. This is only if project and sales order line is linked from sales order module.

The code indicates the status of the project/quotation.

Price code
The code from the Item price code table indicates how the sales price is set.
Item
Warehouse

If the STKOWNER (Stock Ownership) function is activated in the Function control file, the warehouse entered must be classified as a normal or trade (logical) warehouse (i.e. the Warehouse characteristic flag in Work with warehouses must be set to 1 (normal) or 2 (trade). See About the stock ownership functionality for more information.

Quantity
The ordered quantity units of the item.
Disp date
The dispatch date for the line. If this field is left blank, the dispatch date will be retrieved from the project header.
Unit
The code from the Item file indicates the sales unit.
Description
The description of the line. If this field is left blank the item description will be retrieved from the Item file.
Planned cost
The planned cost price. This can be entered manually or retrieved from the Item file. If calc price is set to YES, the project product costing on this line updates this planned cost price.

When you add or change a project element line, the planned cost is replaced with purchase price if all of the following is true:

  • Acquisition type is set to 3, or changed to 3.
  • Cost type is 1 or 3 (Average / FIFO).
  • Price exists for the main supplier (Currency is set from supplier).

If element line is created via link from Work with purchase order, the cost price is set from the purchase price on the purchase order line. Cost price is recalculated according to conversion factor for unit.

Pl cost am
The total planned cost amount for this line.
Actual cost
The actual cost price. This is updated when delivery is reporting to this line.
Act cost am
The total actual cost amount for this line.

Gross sales
The sales price per unit. The sales price can be entered manually or retrieved by the system by using the same function as in customer’s orders. This price is entered in project/quotation currency.
Gr sales am
The total gross sales amount. This amount is added in the phase “gross sales value”. This field is only displayed if Gross sales price is entered.
Net sales
The net sales price of this line i.e., the price which will be quoted to the customer/prospect. This price can be changed if the field to allow change is set to YES on the Project/Quotation type maintenance (POM001B) panel. If change is not allowed the default will be the gross sales price. This price is entered in project/quotation currency.
Net sales am
The net sales amount. This amount is added in the phase Net sales value. This field is only displayed if Net sales price is entered.
Price unit
Only displayed if the PRCUNIT (Price unit handling) function is activated in the Function control file. Normally this field is left blank and is retrieved together with the price. You can, however, manually enter the unit in which the price should be presented (see About price unit handling for more information). This will have no effect on the sales price code.

Example: An element line is placed for the item X and sales unit CASE. CASE has conversion factor 12 compared to the stock unit EACH. The sales price for item X and unit CASE has a price unit set to EACH. The sales price is defined as 100 GBP.

The result on the sales order line will be:

Quantity 1
Sales unit CASE
Price 100 GBP
Price unit EACH
Line amount 1200 GBP
Prc unit qty
Only displayed if the PRCUNIT (Price unit handling) function is activated in the Function control file. Displays the quantity for the project line displayed according to the price unit. See About price unit handling for more information.
Calc price
Indicates if a line is to be calculated i.e. if the project product costing updates the planned cost price in the element line.
Print prices
Indicates if the detail prices should be printed. The value is retrieved from the header.
Hide line
Indicates if the line should be printed. The value is retrieved from the header.
Time/mtrl
For activity or service lines: YES denotes that the element line is possible to deliver or invoice from the project invoicing function. NO denotes that it is not possible to create an invoice. For item lines: YES denotes that the element line is possible to deliver or invoice from the project invoice function. NO denotes the following possibilities:

  • Creation of sales order.
  • Automatically or manually issue to project without any possibility to invoice the element line. (More likely to be invoiced from a project invoice plan.)
Cost code
Two input fields exist for this field. The first is mandatory and the second is optional. Enter one, or two, code/s from the Project cost codes table defining the cost codes for this line. The default value for the first cost code, if not manually entered, is the cost code from the Item cost codes table. The cost code is used to total up cost price and reported values for the project. Note: Cost codes must be defined both for the line and the project. If the cost codes entered here are not already defined on the project, they will be added automatically.
Acq type

Div pr list
The divergent price list to be used instead of the customer’s normal price list.
Handler
The handler of the element line. If this field is left blank, a handler will be retrieved from the project phase.
Struct handl
This field is only displayed if DC1 Manufacturing is installed and activated. Mandatory entry if the acquisition type is 2 (produced item). The code indicates how unique item structures should be handled for the project/quotation when manufacturing orders are created from an element line.

Valid codes are:

Code Description
Blank No item structure will be retrieved.
1 Structure: The item structure will be retrieved from the project.
2 Additional material: The system will retrieve both the item structure from Basic data as well as any additional material that have been defined in the project structure. Note: This structure handling type will also affect the allocation in stock.
