Stock and Purchasing


Purchase Units of Measure


Suppliers often supply materials and components in different units of measure to that which you consume. For example you consume cable in CM but your supplier supplies in reels.


This can be specified within a Purchased Part when adding or editing a Supplier.


Against a part supplier, an optional unit of measure for ordering can be added. Along with what the unit of measure is, it should require the user to put in the conversion multiplier for a purchased quantity.



Minimum Order Quantity for the supplier should be for the unit of measure in which it is purchased. Unit cost for the supplier should be for the unit of measure in which it is purchased.


The item can be requested as normal, in the unit of measure in which it is consumed, but will appear on the Purchase Order in the unit relevant to the supplier**.**


To configure a differing unit of measure, add or edit a part>supplier record within a purchased part.



Sales


Dispatch Sales Order from Multiple Locations


Where the stock may be dispatched from multiple locations you now have the option to change the dispatch organisation location on the sales order line item, defaulted to the location of the overall order.



Price Lists (Stage 1)


Some customers may have specific exceptions to standard pricing. To allow this, we are adding price list functionality in stages, which will allow changes to be applied to pricing when adding to orders.


There are multiple ways in which price list could be applied. Stage 1 has two separate capabilities:


Company-wide Discount


Ensure you to set a discount percentage that is applied to all orders raised with a particular customer.



Part-Specific Price


In this case, instead of a percentage discount, you can now specify a sale price for a part for each customer. When applied, this overrides the list price saved within the part record, and is useful when you have agreed a specific price with a customer.



Note: Part-Specific prices will not be overridden by a company-wide discount if both are active.


Further enhancements to the Price Lists feature will include volume and category discounts.


Additional Costs on Sales


It is now possible to enter details of additional costs incurred against a sale to give a more accurate reflection of costs. Note Additional Costs may only be added before a sales is marked as closed.



Production


Additional Costs on Job Cards


Similar to the new feature on Sales above, you can now add additional costs directly to a Job Card. Note additional costs must be added before a Job Card is closed as they contribute to the output part costing method.


Other Improvements


  • User's name has been added to tracked times records in Job Cards.
