Item Master
Settings Tab
ID1: Enter a label here to define the primary way to segment inventory for the selected item. For example, enter 'Length' to track different lengths under one item code.
ID2: Define a second measurement (if needed). For example, you can track 'Length' under ID1 and use ID2 for 'Width' to track different sizes of plate.
#Lot tab
Lengths: This button is only available if the 'Track Length' option is selected on the Settings screen. Selecting it displays a screen where you can view/add/delete the different ID1/ID2 combinations and set up formulas to calculate base cost and weight for the different length and width combinations -- assuming ID1 is Length and ID2 is width. Here's what the screen looks like:
'F' button: This displays a dropdown where you can selected predefined formulas from the ITEMIDCALC rule (defined more in the Rules section below).
Calculations
Cost Calc: This calculation can determine a specific base cost for each ID1/ID2 combination. This base cost can be used for customer pricing. For example, a customer tier of WALKIN can be set up to pay 75% over this base cost.
Available fields for the calculation are defined in the Factors section below.Factors
Cost Factor: This can be used to set up a certain cost as it pertains to the ID1/ID2 combination. The expression is [cf] if you want to use it in a calculation. For example, if ID1 represents length, the amount entered here can reference a certain base cost per foot or inch. This calculation would be entered as '[id1]*[cf]' to calculate the base cost per foot, assuming ID1= Length and
cf= base cost per foot.
