DEFAULTS

Use this subtask to enter default information associated with the pricing project. The information will default into the Addresses and Header Information subtasks of the Enter Sales Orders screen, where you can edit it. Contractor address, customer address, packing slip/invoice, and shipment number options are available.

Contractor Addresses

You can establish contractor addresses and associated contractor codes and descriptions in either of two screens: Contractor Addresses in the Sales Order Entry Controls menu, or Contractor Addresses in the Controls menu in Costpoint Billing.

Remit To

Enter, or use Lookup to select, a remittance address code. Set up remittance addresses in the Remittance Addresses screen in the Controls menu in Costpoint Billing. The address code you enter in the Remit To field will be the default for the Addresses subtask of the Enter Sales Orders screen and can be changed as necessary.

Contractor

Enter, or use Lookup to select, a contractor. Establish contractor address information in the Contractor Addresses screen. The contractor code will be the default for the Addresses subtask of the Enter Sales Orders screen and can be changed as necessary. The contractor address is printed on the DD250 packing slip and invoice.

Ship From

Enter, or use Lookup to select, a ship-from address code. Establish ship-from addresses in the Contractor Addresses screen. The ship from code will be the default for the Addresses subtask of the Enter Sales Orders screen and can be changed as necessary.

Customer Addresses

Establish customer addresses in the Maintain Customer screens in both Costpoint Sales Order Entry and Costpoint Accounts Receivable. You can maintain additional sales order-related defaults in these screens.

Payment Office

Enter, or use Lookup to select, a payment office code. Set up the payment office codes in the Govt. Payment Offices screen in Costpoint Billing. The code will be the default for the Addresses subtask of the Enter Sales Orders screen and can be edited during sales order entry. You can establish an additional default payment office address code for individual customers in the Maintain Customer screen in the Customer Info menu. If you assign a payment office code to a customer, that code will be used as the default for the Addresses subtask instead of the code entered in this field.

Issued By

Enter, or use Lookup to select, an issued-by code. Set up the issued-by address codes in the Issued By Addresses screen. The code will be the default for the Address subtask of the Enter Sales Orders screen and can be changed. You can establish an additional default issued-by address code for individual customers in the Maintain Customer screen in the Customer Info menu. If you assign an issued-by code to a customer, that code will be used as the default for the Address subtask instead of the code entered in this field.

Last Shipment Number

If a shipment number is required, enter up to eight alphanumeric characters for the last shipment number used. The system sequentially increments shipment numbers by one.

You should assign enough numeric characters to the right to ensure that duplicates do not occur.
