Assigning ABC Extensions to Sales Transactions

In Sales Order Entry, you can specify a designated ABC extension in the Additional Header Information window when you enter a transaction. When you do this, the system uses that extension each time it logs activities for the transaction. For example, when you enter a return transaction, receive the products back into the warehouse, perform a quality inspection, and put the products back on the shelves, the system records each time to use the specified extension to assign the costs.

Note: Before you can assign an auto group extension to a transaction, you must define the extension. Also, for the ABC program to select activities with an extension, you must assign the extension to activity codes.

To assign an ABC extension to a sales transaction:

  1. From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Initial Order Entry dialog box.

  2. Display or enter a sales transaction.

  3. Click the Header tab to display the order's header information.

  4. From the Edit menu, select Additional Information to display the Additional Header Information dialog box.

  5. In the ABC Order Extension field, select the extension to use for logging changes, deletions, and returned goods for this transaction.

  6. Save the information and exit the dialog box.
