Purchase Order Inventory Tab

Lines Imported to Work Order
A warning will appear if you attempt to delete, cancel or change the quantities of a line that has already been imported into a work order.

If the No Inventory? box is checked in the Vendor's record, users are prevented from selecting Inventory Items in this Purchase Order.  

Important Fields:

Qty Ordered:
The quantity of the item being ordered. This field cannot be changed if the status is Pending Cancel or Cancelled. It cannot be changed to less than the quantity already received.

QtyRcvd:
It is recommended that items are received via the Inventory Receipts Journal.  However, if this Purchase Order is being issued to record a transaction that has already taken place,  you may enter the quantity that was already received. Serial and Lot-Controlled items may not be received in a PO line, only in the Inventory Receipts Journal.

Note: if Unvouchered Payables are implemented on your system, the Unvouchered Payable GL accounts must be entered in all applicable Inventory Group records.

Note: this field may default in if specified in the Registry Entry for Purchase Orders . This option may be disabled on a vendor-specific basis by checking the Disable PO AutoFill box in the Vendor record’s Contacts Tab.

ouble-click on this field to select from a list of items.  The entry of an inactive item (where the Inactive box is flagged) is disallowed. If a part has been superceded (the Superceded By field on the Inventory Other Tab is filled in). When a superseded part number is entered into this field, the system will alert the user that

Item A has been superceded by Item B. Use New Item?

It the user clicks Yes, the new part (B) will be returned to the field. If the user clicks No, part A (which has been superceded) will remain in the field.

This field cannot be modified if the Purchase Order Status is Printed, Changed, Pending Cancelled, or Cancelled.

Unit Cost:
For Items NOT flagged as Miscellaneous, this field defaults from the Inventory Vendor tab for the selected Vendor, if available, and the Last Cost if this item has not been purchased from this Vendor before. It specifies the Unit Cost of the item at the time of order. If the Item is flagged as Miscellaneous, the Unit Cost will not default and must be entered at the time the Item is ordered. If the Currency Id field is completed on the Main Tab, all costs MUST be entered in the Vendor’s currency.

Vendor Price: Creating a Purchase Order will set the Price on the Inventory Item's Vendor tab. For this reason, it is vital to verify pricing when creating purchase orders.

Equipment Id:
If the user enters a Work Order Id, the system will default in the first piece of equipment on the Work Order’s Equipment tab UNLESS this behavior is disabled via registry (see Registry Option - Do Not Default Equipment Id). If the user double clicks on this field, the system will display a list of all equipment associated with the Client Site referenced in the Work Order.

If the sys-ffv-global setting 'DefaultEquipmentFromWorkorder' is set to false, the user is allowed to set the Equipment Id back to blank. If this registry option is not present or set to true, the Equipment Id must be completed if a Work Order Id is referenced.

The Cost Category supports enhanced filtering provided by the Cost Code's Job Cost Category Usage Filter. Cost Categories are validated (relative to Cost Codes) during data entry upon leaving the Cost Category Id field.  The full relationship is validated again when leaving a child line or saving a record.

Cost Category Selection Types of Material, Other or Equipment are allow.  The user will be warned if Material or Labor is selected.

Job Qty: Job Qty Rcvd:
If you have entered a Job Id or Work Order Id on the Purchase Order header or on this line, these fields will default from the Qty and Qty Rcvd fields. However, if this is a TechAnywhere-generated Purchase Orders, these fields do not default when the Quantity Ordered/Received is changed to prevent double-costing; they should remain at zero.

The Job Qty and Job Qty Rcvd fields may be decreased if you want only some of this item to be bought to the Job; the remainder will be assigned to inventory. The Job Qty cannot be set to zero if the line contains either a WO Id or a Job Id.

Extended Description:
This field defaults from the Extended PO Description field in the Inventory Item record but may be modified by the user for this PO. By default, when the PO is saved, the contents of this field is copied to the corresponding Inventory Item's Purchase Order Description field on the PO Description tab. For some customers this is an undesirable behavior; a registry is available to override this default behavior:

Extra:
If the Job Billing Item on this line is Fixed Fee / Allow Extras, this box must be checked to enable the calculation of the Amount Revenue field.

Billing Type Id:  Revenue Rate:
These fields will be completed if this line pertains to a Work Order or Job, and are jointly determined by the Inventory Item and the Job's Rate Schedule, but may be changed if needed. These fields determine how the Unit Price will be calculated to be charged to the customer:

For Use Unit Price Inventory Items, the Billing Type Id defaults to Unit Price.  The system will use the Unit Price in the Inventory record that corresponds to the Job's Material Price Level to set the Revenue Rate.

If the Inventory Item is not flagged as Use Unit Price, the Billing Type Id Markup will default, and the Revenue Rate from the Material Markup table specified in the Rate Schedule for this Job. A 120% markup applied to an item costing $100 would generate a unit price of $220. A 30% markup applied to an item costing $100 would generate a unit price of $130.
