   • Changing the 'Per' field may change the extension of the current Order line. For example, the current Per is EA and the factor is 1, and you enter a quantity of 10 for $10.00, the line extension is $100.00. If the Per field is changed to a Per that has a factor of 12, the extension for the line is 8.33 (100 (single unit value)/12 (per factor) * 10 (Qty ordered) = 8.33)

7. The Discount field defaults to the Discount maintained in IM18 for the selected Price List for the current Order line.

   • If the Product entered already exists on Future Orders that are nearing their Release date and there is insufficient stock, the following message displays: "WARNING! Insufficient stock available to fill Future Orders nearing their release date. OK". Click OK to close the message window.

Button Label	Icon	Functionality

If the Supp. Charge appears as the last line of the Invoice, then the discount is calculated on the value of all lines above. If the Supp. Charge prints between lines, then the discount is calculated on the value of those lines appearing above it. During Order Entry, you can leave the 'Units' field on the Supplementary Charges screen blank.
Comments		The Comments button accesses the Comment screen. Comments may be added to Sales Orders, Sales Quotations, Invoices, Credit Notes, Direct Bills, and Retail Sales Receipts.

If you try to delete a line on an Invoice, the following message displays: "Product Order Lines cannot be deleted while Invoicing! Set quantities to 0. OK". Click OK to close the message window. You can recall the Order line and enter zero (0) in the B/O and To Ship fields.

• When a Product line is deleted from a transaction, the 'reservation' and 'backorder' quantities are rolled back to update the Product's Available Quantity. At this point, Enterprise checks whether or not the Demand for this Product should also be rolled back. Demand for a Product is tracked separately from Sales in Enterprise to more accurately reflect market conditions for the Product.

• For example, some Products that are in high demand cannot be filled from the available Inventory and Backorders are created as a result. Some Customers may elect to cancel the Backorder in favor of a substitute Product.

• Enterprise tracks Product Demand separately from Product Sales, and uses the Demand history as its basis for forecasting. Each time a quantity of the Product is updated against a transaction, Enterprise updates the Demand for the Product instantly, so that the Purchasing system has the most up-to-date information to work with at all times.

• When a Product line is deleted from a transaction, Enterprise requests that you consider the cause of the cancellation in terms of its effect on Demand by prompting you to answer, "Is this a customer cancellation due to inventory availability? Yes/No".
  • If the cancellation is due to the unavailability of the Product, select Yes. This directs Enterprise to leave the Demand for that Product in place. In this way, the Purchasing system is able to take into account the Demand for that quantity of the Product, even if due to its unavailability the Demand could not be met to produce a sale.

  • If the cancellation is due to other factors i.e. not related to availability, select No. This directs Enterprise to roll back the Demand as if it never existed. You typically select 'No' when you are deleting an incorrect Product line or an entire Order processed against the wrong Customer.

• If you create an Invoice for a Sales Order using Transaction Type 'Invoice' and you delete the Invoice using Delete Records , the following message displays: "Delete Invoice? Yes/No". Select Yes to delete the Invoice, leaving the Sales Order intact, including all modifications to the Order. Select No to cancel the delete request.
