Before you can use the Non-franchise parts functionality, you need to set up a number of parameters.
When creating a new non-franchise stock record within the Stock file maintenance program of the Stock management module the appropriate defaults (Analysis code, Product group and Supplier code) are loaded.
When using the Quick entry functionality in the Point-of-sale program, the appropriate defaults (Discount code, Product group and Supplier code) are loaded.
Fields
Part number mask: Type the Part number mask to which the defaults are applied. The number can contain up to 24 characters. The question mark ? is defined as a wildcard. This means that within the part number entered, each character with the same position as the wildcard in the part mask is not checked.
Warning: Make sure that the first character of the Part number mask is known as Franchise code in the Franchise table of Stock management.
Note: A blank within the part mask is treated as a normal character. This does not apply to a blank or several blanks added at the end of the part mask! One or more blanks at the end of the part mask are not considered as elements of the part mask.
Tip: If you define a part mask of ZA and a second part mask of ??????456 and a user enters a new part number of e.g. ZA1111456, the part mask defaults of ZA is loaded, although both part masks apply! This is because of the higher priority of the part mask ZA. For each part mask the first character generates a higher match value.
Product group: Type the Product group which is set as default on the stock / quick entry record.
Analysis code: Type the Analysis code which is set as default on the stock record.
Supplier code: Type the Supplier code which is set as default on the stock / quick entry record. The Supplier name is automatically loaded for each supplier code. When the Supplier code is invalid a Unknown account message is displayed behind this field. The supplier code is used as the default purchase ledger account for Quick entry of parts.
Quick entry: Select if Quick entry is available in Point-of-sale.
No quick entry
Q - Quick entry without automatic receive
R - Quick entry with automatic receive
Discount code: Type the Discount which is set as default on the quick entry record.
