Overview

This screen allows a user to update the base cost and ordering min/max quantites for items with 'Track Length' selected in the Item Master screen.


How-To Topic

  1. Adjust the CommCode/Profile/Gauge/Color filters at the top of the page to isolate the items you want to change. Once the filters are set, select the Refresh Table button.
  2. Change the Calculate Based On field to determine which field to use as a basis for the calculations (which field will be increased or decreased to determine the base cost).
    • Standard Cost (Global) uses the item's current Standard Cost (Global) cost as a basis for the calculations.
    • Base Cost (EA) uses the item's Current Cost (EA) cost.
    • Base Cost (CWT) uses the item's Current Cost (CWT) cost.
  3. All Action list buttons like Cancel Changes for example, should also be bold.
  4. Whenever possible, consolidate steps using the #* bullet points.
    • This can help keep the numbered list from growing to a high number.
    • For example, a how-to with 23 steps can be more intimidating and make a simple procedure look like too many steps.
    • But the bullet points break it up.
  5. As long as you don't skip spaces between the # characters, it will auto number. Even a single space can mess it up.
  1. Review carefully, because a skipped space will mess up the sequencing.
  2. Continue the steps using the same pattern.


How-To Topic Part Two

Consider whether or not an additional note is required to give an overview or additional information about this step. For example, if this is an optional step, or a step that maybe some customers will not need to complete - that information could be entered here.

Delete this section if the process only requires a single section.

  1. If the process involves multiple screens or multiple, distinct steps, break it up into sections using the headers.
  2. Continue using the same format for additional steps.


Additional Information

This section is an optional place to document any follow-up steps, further considerations, or links to other pages that may be helpful. Delete this section if it is not needed.

Just for reference, below is an example of an indented bullet list, along with guidance for when to use bold formatting.

  • Menu Paths should be bold for easy reference
    • Screen Names should be bold
      • Tab Names inside of screen should also be bold
        • Field Names should generally be bold. There may be cases where using single quotes for a 'field name' is appropriate.
          • 'Sections' in a screen such as the 'Customer' section label in the Order Entry screen should use single quotes
          • 'Column labels' in a grid should generally use single quotes
          • 'OK' or 'Cancel' buttons (or any other buttons on a pop-up message) should have single quotes
  • I have used italics for things like Report Names when I am referring to the report and not the screen name for the report, and for filenames.xlsx
