Row Type (T)
Under T you enter the row type for the purchase order row to be registered. The following row types exist:
- 1 - Part row The parts must be registered in the Update Part procedure.
- 2 - Additional order row This row type allows you to register parts that do not exist in the part register. During arrival of this row type, no stock transaction will be made. Please note that all the rows of this row type must be coded manually.
- 3 - Service row This row type is used when you sell services, such as traveling expenses etc. The services must be registered in the Services procedure.
- 4 - Text row These rows are used to add your own text on a row. By right-clicking to the left of the text field or by checking the box to the right of the Text type under Extra row info, the text row will be linked to the part on the order row above. By using the setting "Link additional text automatically to inquiry/order row" under the Purchase tab, it is possible to select if text rows on inquiries and purchase orders should be linked automatically.
- 5 - Serial number. This is used to trace a part via the product register, by linking it to the serial number of the previous order row. Read more about this in the Trace Part procedure, in the Inventory module. A serial number can have a maximum of 40 characters.
The number of serial numbers must not differ from the quantity on the order row. When using entirely numerical serial numbers, you can enter an interval on a row or register several rows with individual numbers or an interval. If you use other characters than numbers in the Start code field, a row like that will always represent one (1) serial number in this check, even if you have entered an interval. You cannot link serial number rows to another row type than part row (row type 1).
- 6 - Underlying fictitious part. Used for fictitious part purchase, if the price must be entered on the fictitious part instead of on the incorporated parts. Row type 6 is a row type that the system automatically set for incorporated parts of a fictitious part, and that the user does not need to enter. If there is a linked text on a fictitious part, such as Additional name, that text will be given row type 16. You can determine whether row types 5 and 6 should be printed on order documents or not. This is configured in the Form Settings procedure in the Global Settings module.
- 9 - Tool row. If the supplement Tool Management is applied, you can register tools as purchase order rows. This row type 9 is used for tool acquisition, reservation and withdrawal.
When you have chosen row type 9, you select tools from the tool register in the Part number field. Purchase orders cannot be registered for the tool type Assembled since this tool type consists of a structure of other tools.
To the right on a tool row, in the Type field you select 1-3, where 1 = Acquisition, 2 = Reservation and 3 = Withdrawal. In the Pos. and Type fields the background color makes it easier to see the selected type: white = Acquisition, blue = Reservation and red = Withdrawal.
