Serial Number Level Pricing and Dimensions

Associated Files/Set-up

Activate Serial Number Price, Dimension and Additional Features - This setting controls the serial level pricing and dimensions functionality. Activation of the Defined Data Area controls the display of this.
Item File (FIL 2) -The Policies field controls which Pre-Receipts screen appears. For example:
- Policy Code A# - is for Area Rug Item unique dimensions and price uses the receiving screen developed for serial number pricing and dimensions. This policy code should be used in conjunction with items that have a component code of "R" (Serialized roll item).
- Policy Code A$ - is for serialized items with pricing and dimensions established at the serial number level and sold by PC or EA. This option uses the standard receiving screen with the ability to add length and width through a function key (F12). This policy code should be used in conjunction with items that have a component code of "S" (Serialized item).

This feature is not supported for slabs.

Assigning Price and Dimension Information at the Serial Number Level during Pre-Receiving

Use menu option INB 1 to enter pre-receipts.
Enter the necessary information. In the figure below, the item number entered represents an Area Rug (Item Policy code A#)

Press Enter to access the receiving screen. Keep in mind, the receiving screen that appears depends on the Policy code of the items being received. The following screens display an item assigned to policy code A#.

In the example shown below, the item is being assigned pricing and dimensions at the serial number level.

The Length and Width must be entered as ft.in. In the example above, the length is 20 ft and 11 in. And the width is 4 ft. 6 in.

Enter the price using a decimal point. You can enter up to three characters to the right of the decimal point.

Only the last entered price and dimension data is stored. For example, if two rugs with the same serial number were entered, but each had a different price the last price entered is the one that is retained. The way around this is to create unique serial numÂbers for both rugs.

Pre-Receipts for Items other than Area Rug (Item Policy code A#)

Serial number level pricing can also be assigned to items that are not assigned to policy code A#. For example, serialized items with a policy code of A$ can also use the serial number level pricing and dimension features.

Press F12 to access the Serial Number Pricing and Dimension view.

Press Enter to accept the pre-receipt into the system. When the inventory actually gets received and posted (via menu option INB 5), all other applications will use the serial number level pricing. For example if serial number WGB1234, entered in the preceding steps, is ordered the pricing entered on the pre-receipt displays on the Order Detail line.
