Add comments to matrix cells to relay a message to the order writer when the matrix cell is applied to a price in order entry. For example, you might want to remind a customer that the price for a product is tied to a contract, or you could note that the current vendor price for a product is in effect over a period of time. Comments display attached to a product in the following programs:
Sales Order Entry - When you create the comment in Sell Matrix Maintenance.
Purchase Order Entry - When you create the comment in Buy Matrix Maintenance.
To add a comment to a matrix cell:
Note: You can also use this procedure on the Buy Matrix Maintenance window.
Set up order entry comment types in OE Comment Type Maintenance (System > System Files > OE Comment Type Maintenance).
From the Maintenance > Price Maintenance menu, select Sell Matrix.
Enter the Initial matrix information and select the effective and expiration dates to display the matrix cell.
Click the Additional tab to display the Comments area.
Do one of the following:
In the Select Comment Type field, select an existing comment type to display in the text field.
Click the Add Type button to add another comment type to the list. Name the comment type when prompted, and press Enter. The new type is stored for future use.
Note: If nothing displays in the selection screen when you use the Comment hot key, no comment types exist in Order Entry Comments Maintenance.
Enter your comment in the text field.
The next time this matrix cell is referenced for pricing, the comment displays on the order below the product.
