Explanation of the Columns in the List

Below you will find an explanation of the different columns for the parts in the list, and from where the values are loaded. Some of these can be modified before the order registration while some are only used to show information. The purpose of being able to modify certain columns is to be able to complete the order directly when generating, without any additional modifications and complements.

• Part number - the part number registered for the part.
• Name - the part name registered for the part.
• Quantity - the ordered quantity that the suggestion has calculated. You can modify the quantity in the list, if needed.
• Unit - the part's unit. If the part has an alternate unit, and the option to Show in alternate unit has been checked for this part in the Update Part procedure, then the suggestion will be shown in the alternate unit. The order rows will also be generated in that unit.
• Order period - the order period that will be registered on the orders generated from this suggestion.
• Delivery period - the delivery period that will be registered on the orders generated from this suggestion. You can modify the delivery period in the list, if needed.
