• N (None) - Does not place new lot item generations on hold.

• B (Both) - Places new lot item generations for junior orders and standard lot orders on hold.

Outcome of setting this control record

When you create a new lot item generation, the system checks to see what the default on-hold status is as set in this record, and uses that for the generation.                                

Default Value(s)

Action if set to Null

Same as if set to None.

Additional Information

None

Settings

• Adv Bill Factor field - Enter the factor, 0.0 to 999.9, used to calculate the suggested amount to bill to a customer for lot item shipments. This is a global default setting for all lot items. You can manually override this factor in Lot Item Status window in sales order entry at any time.

• Break Point % field -Enter a percentage amount, which is used along with the advance bill factor. This percentage is the point in the vendor billing when the customer billing rate changes. This change ensures the customer reaches 100% billing at the same time you reach 100% vendor billing. In general, specify a lower break point percentage when using a higher advance billing factor.

Outcome of setting this control record

For each shipment, the system calculates the percentage of the open Lot Cost against the vendor invoice being reconciled. The system then multiplies the percentage by the advance bill factor to determine the customer invoice amount.

• Use a higher number to bill more in the beginning of the life cycle of the lot order.

• Use a lower number to bill more in end of the life cycle of the lot order.

• If the field is blanked out by pressing the Spacebar, the value changes to 0.0. If you leave 0.0 as the entry,

Default Value(s)

1.0

Action if set to Null

A blank advanced bill factor is equal to 0.0, and no billing is generated during reconciliation. We recommend that you not leave this value at 0.0.

Additional Information

We recommend using an advanced bill factor of 1.0, which provides a consistent billing ratio throughout the life cycle of the order.

The advance billing factor multiplied by the break point must be less than 100%.
