Last Updated 2 years ago

Billing Parameters

A new flag has been added to the Billing parameters to allow non stocked part numbers which are in the Price Book to be added to the inventory database from the invoice screen. This flag is found on screen 4 “Invoice Qty (F11) Key Use”. This filed needs to be set to “I” to allow the new function to work. Also contained in the Billing Parameters on screen 2 are the default Minimum, Maximum and Reorder Allowed which are used when adding part numbers to inventory.

Counterman Maintenance

The Counterman Maintenance has been modified to limit the ability to add part numbers to only specified counterman. The new field on the Counterman screen is “Add Part #’s to Inventory”, this must be set to a “Y” to allow the new functionality to work.

Invoicing

Providing the Billing Parameters and the Counterman used on the invoice are set to allow the addition of parts to inventory from invoicing.

*** NOTE *** As of Counterpoint 6+, items can be automatically added to inventory

When entering a non stocked part on the invoice line, which is found in the Price Book. In the quantity field press the F11 key which will display the inventory maintenance screen with the part number from the invoice on the screen along with it description. Press the F1 key to accept the information using the defaults in the billing parameters. The prices will be calculated based on the pricing parameters. Any necessary changes can be made before accepting the part by entering the field number. The other option is to enter through the field to make the changes and then accept the part. Accepting the entry using F1 will add the item to inventory and return to the invoice screen. The invoice screen will now show the part as a stocked part, a “space” in the line type instead of a “P”.
