The Part Number Information is displayed in the bottom of the screen when entering or highlighting a Part Number. The following information is displayed:  Inventory Notes, Status, Order Level, Stock Level, Source Cost, Current Source, Standard Pack, Purchase Quantity, Quantity on Hand, Quantity on Order, Due Date, Warehouse Cost, Quantity Back Ordered, Quantity on Hold, Warehouse Quantity on Order, Warehouse Due Date, Warehouse Quantity on Hand, Month-to-Date Sales, Sales for 1, 2, 3 Months Ago and Year-to-Date Sales.

The Purchase Quantity will be displayed to the right of the Standard Pack, if a Purchase Quantity exists. If it is blank, it will not be displayed.

After the first Part Number has been entered, the Manufacturer Code will be displayed for ease in entering Part Numbers.

You may type over the existing Manufacturer Code for a new Part Number.

You may Disallow Not on File Part Numbers during Purchase Order Entry. If disallowed, you may not enter a Part Number that is not setup in “Inventory Entry” in INVENTORY (5.1.1). This feature is turned on in “Purchase Order Setup” (3.5.2 field 16).

For Multi-Locations, a Warehouse location may be set up in "Purchase Order Setup" (3.5.2 field 9). The Warehouse Quantity on Hand will then be displayed on the bottom highlight bar when in the Part Number field. The Warehouse information will also be displayed at the Units of Measure prompt. Different Locations may be assigned different Warehouse Locations.

The system will allow for multiple entries of the same Part Number, with the same Unit of Measure on a Purchase Order. A warning message will state the original line where the part number exists. Just <ENTER> to continue.

When Receiving Merchandise (4.1.1), the last part number is the one updated last. Therefore if there are multiple entries of the same part number, enter the zero cost product first so that when you receive the part at a regular cost it will be recorded in the Replacement cost field for this vendor, not the zero cost.

You may update Part Number information, listed at the bottom of the screen, from the part number field. You may change the Status, Order Level, Stock Level, Source Cost and Current Source. These changes will be entered in "Inventory Entry" in INVENTORY (5.1.1). Enter a <U> over the Part Number you want to update and press <ENTER>.

A Part Number may be set to never be ordered in "Generate Automatic Purchase Order for Vendor" (3.2.1). Set both the Order Level and Stock Level to 00 and press <ENTER>.

To lock the Order Level and Stock Level so that it will not be changed when you run "Update Stock Level based on Sales History" (3.4.1.2) or "Update Stock Level based on Popularity Codes" (3.4.2.2), enter a leading zero (0) on the Order Level and Stock Level. This will lock both the Order Level and the Stock Level to the numbers entered.

You may jump to a Part Number in the Purchase Order quickly. Enter a <G> and the Selection Number of the Part Number you want to go to, and press <ENTER>. You will now be at the "Part #" prompt of the part number selected.

If "Autoround" is "Yes" in "Purchase Order Setup" (3.5.2 field 5), the system will automatically round up to the Standard Pack, if the Percent of Standard Pack threshold has been reached.

The Extended Cost displayed is the Quantity to Order x Unit Cost.

You may suppress the cost from being printed on a Transfer Purchase Order. This is set up in "Purchase Order Setup" (3.5.2 field 3).

You may suppress the cost from being printed on a Pick Purchase Order. This is set up in "Purchase Order Setup" (3.5.2 field field 10).

Purchase Order Line Item Discount allows you to enter a discount from .01 to 100 percent for any Part Number and reduce the Unit Cost. To activate this feature, go to “Purchase Order Setup” (3.5.2 field 26), enter a <Y>. The line item discount is accessed through the part entry area (field 8) and then choosing <O> for the Discount Option. You will then be prompted to enter the Discount Percent to recalculate the Unit Cost. The system will recalculate the Unit Cost and Extended Cost on the detail line and the Total Cost on the middle highlight bar. Please Note:  1.) Any Vendor Code or Price Code change will prompt you to

<R>ecalculate the Unit Costs. This will cancel any Line Item Discount and remove the highlight bar history. 2.) A manual override of the Unit Cost will not remove the highlight bar history. 3.) Always do your Line Item Discounts last.
