Refer to your Primary File Administration manual for more information about
establishing item cost breaks and cost group breaks. In most cases, if an
item is subject to both an item cost break and a cost group break, the item
cost break overrides the group cost break. However, depending on the base
type of the cost group break, the cost group break may be taken in addition
to the item cost break.
Purchase Order Quantity
The purchase order quantity is the quantity of this item to purchase, in the
stocking unit of measure. Enter any quantity up to six digits in the PO qty
field. The stocking unit of measure is displayed to the right of the PO qty
entry field. When you enter this quantity, the vendor units are displayed in
the Vendor units field if the item/vendor record for this item and vendor
contains this information. The cursor moves to the Cost field in this window.
In addition, if a cost for the item is displayed, the extended amount is
calculated and displayed in the Ext Amt field, and the net amount is
calculated and displayed in the Net Amt field. Some of this information is
also displayed on the current line in the scrolling line list.
If you are working with a central purchase order, and automatic central
quantity distribution is enabled for this purchase order, the Central Quantity
Distribution Entry window opens when you enter a quantity on a purchase
order line. Refer to the section “Enter Central Purchase Order Distribution
Option” later in this chapter for more information.
On a backordered purchase order line, an additional field is
displayed below the PO qty field, called the Total qty field.
Refer to “Recall a Purchase Order Feature” in Chapter 3 for more
information about this field.
Vendor Units
The vendor unit is the number of units in the vendor's costing unit of
measure required to equal the entered purchase order quantity. This is
displayed automatically, as long as the vendor's costing unit of measure has
been entered in the item/vendor record for this item and vendor using the
Item Maintenance program. If this is not displayed automatically, enter any
number up to eight digits, including three decimal places, for the number of
vendor units. The vendor's costing unit of measure is displayed to the right
of the field if an item/vendor record exists for this item and vendor.
If this field is active, you can enter the number of vendor units to have the
Purchase Order Entry program calculate the purchase order quantity.
