Following are the control maintenance records and authorization keys used for lot billing, along with additional setup requirements.

Control Maintenance Records

Set the following control maintenance records:

Authorization Keys

Assign the following authorization keys:

Product Maintenance

Before you can use the lot billing feature, you must create lot item product records. You may want to set up a generic lot item product to use for miscellaneous vendors. You may also want to set up a generic lot item product for each major price line.

User Maintenance

If you redistribute an overall lot item order total, you cannot specify a gross profit percentage below your Min GP% Required setting. This setting is made on the GP% Control Parameters screen (GP Control hot key from the User Maintenance screen).

When changing an overall lot order total, you also cannot specify a discount greater than your Max Disc from Standard Price setting on the GP% Control Parameters screen.

Scheduling Lot Item Materials for Shipment

Authorization is required to use the Lot Item Material Detail Scheduling screen to edit shipped quantities on an invoiced generation. To edit scheduled items, you must be assigned the following authorizations:

Printing

The standard forms package was enhanced to recognize lot item totals and their related lot item materials; however, you may need to update custom forms for use with lot billing. For example, printing or faxing lot item information form an order's Status screen may require customized form changes at your site.

Pricing

Specify a customer invoicing method for each lot item. The Advance Billing Factor (ABF) is the default.
