POE Defaults Control Maintenance Records

The following control maintenance records belong to the POE (Purchase Order Entry) category and apply to POE defaults.

Default Br Stock Value When A Product Becomes Active

For each branch, select the default stock value to display for a product in the Stock column on the Primary Inventory Maintenance window when that branch activates a product. ClosedMore:

Options

  • Yes - Stock

  • No - Nonstock

  • Auto - System-calculated

Outcome of setting this control record

The first time a product is received, invoiced, or shipped in a branch and the stock value for the branch is not defined, the system assigns the value from this record to that branch.

If you change the setting for a branch in this control maintenance record, that change only affects the stock value for a newly activated product. The values assigned to products activated before the change remain unchanged.

Blank
