If a stock item is set with a non-zero pack quantity then sales or purchase orders can be entered in units (default) or in packs – an entry of a pack being signified by entering a ‘/’ after the quantity – therefore a entered qty of 2 is 2 units, 2/0 is 2 packs and 2/1 is 2 packs and 1 unit.
This modification allows for an entered quantity of 2
– against a stock item with a pack qty other than 0 or 1 – to be interpreted as
2 packs. To enter in units quantity has
to be entered as /1, and for packs and units 2/1. You can also still enter as 2/ which
continues to be interpreted as 2 packs.
Once you press <Enter> on the quantity the value is re-displayed in the standard pack quantity format. When amending, either via up-arrow to get back to quantity when adding the line or once saved and re-edited, the quantity continues to display in pack quantity format but if over-type then again any quantity is assumed to be the number of packs – i.e. if change 2/0000 to 3 then is 3 packs.
Installation
Application User Facilities
A new option has been added to the SOP and POP
Optional Features within the Application User Facilities. From the main menu select Installation, followed by Application Manager, Application User Facilities, the
appropriate Order Processing Application, Enter
/ Amend Orders, Advanced Input
Facilities and then Optional
Features. The new parameter has been
added on the right of screen 1.
Assume Whole Qty is Pack Qty – set so that entry of ‘2’ is assumed to be 2 packs on stock items set with a non-0/1 pack quantity.
Note
Separate
parameters are available in the optional features for both Sales and Purchase
Order Processing. Other applications,
such as Stock Control, continue to assume that entry of a quantity without a
delimiter is in number of units
