Entering Product Quantities

Before entering a product on a sales order, you first enter the order quantity. Typically the order quantity is at its lowest unit of measure, but some products may be set up to use a different default unit of measure. Certain products can also be sold in multiple units of measure.

Units of measure are set up by your company. Some common units of measure include each, case, feet, and pounds.

If a unit of measure is not entered with the order quantity (for example, if you enter only "1" or "2"), the default unit of measure appears next to the order quantity after you enter the product on the sales order. If more than one valid unit of measure exists, you may be prompted to choose a unit of measure.

Authorized users can override the unit of measure when entering the order quantity.

To enter a product quantity:

Create or open a sales order and display the Body screen.
In the Qty/Unit column, enter the quantity or amount that your customer wants to order.
Use Nonstk/Lot hot key to view the Nonstock screen, if necessary, and search for a nonstock entry item for the order. For more information, see Adding Nonstock Products to Sales Orders.

The order information populates for your review before applying to the order. The DFLT-LIST and the DFLT-COST (REP-COST) display at the bottom of the screen.

In the Product Description column, enter the product that your customer wants to order.
