SALES ORDER CATALOG SETTINGS

Use this screen to establish pricing catalog data and associated catalog controls for use throughout Costpoint Sales Order Entry. When you enter sales orders in Costpoint, you generally specify one pricing project or pricing catalog in the header portion of the order. You can set up the projects and catalogs with specific default values and control parameters that will be used by Costpoint to streamline data entry of sales orders.

Establish pricing catalogs and associated data before entering sales orders for that pricing catalog.

Catalog

Enter, or use Lookup to select, an active catalog. You must have previously set up catalogs in the Set Up Price Catalogs screen in Costpoint Product Definition.

Catalog Numbering Method

Use the options in this group box to number sales orders manually or automatically by pricing catalog. You can set up each catalog to use a unique series of order numbers with up to 10 alphanumeric characters. This option is unavailable if you selected the Overall System checkbox in the Sales Order Settings screen.

Manual

Select this radio button to require the user to enter the sales order number before the order can be saved. The Last System SO Number field will be disabled if you select this option

System

Select this radio button to have the system assign the next available sales order number. You must then enter the appropriate number in the Last System SO Number field.

Last System SO Number

If you selected the System radio button, you must enter the last sales order number issued, up to 10 alphanumeric characters, before processing sales orders. To have sales orders print in correct numeric order, you must select a ceiling number of up to 10 digits. For example, if the highest number desired is "9999999999," enter zero as "0000000000;" if the highest number desired is "SO-9999," and the last sales order number was "SO-124," enter "SO-0124."

The Last System SO Number field is always incremented from the right, but only if the rightmost character is numeric. For example, "SO123" would become "SO124;" "SOABCD9" would become "SOABCD0;" "9999999999" would become "0000000000." "SO99999999A" would not be incremented. Be sure to assign enough numeric characters to the right to ensure that duplicates do not occur.
