Creating A Supplier Plating Charge Record
Supplier Plating Charge records are used for recording and applying the plating charges charged by a Supplier for a product by weight. If the Supplier charges different amounts for different quantities you may define a breaks table to record the applicable plating charges.
Note: For further details - including examples and also how to enable Supplier Plating Charges - see Supplier Plating Charge Maintenance.
To create a Supplier Plating Charge record:
1. Do one of the following:
A new Supplier Plating Charge record will open in a new tab:
2. Enter/select details for the Supplier Plating Charge record, using the following as a guide:
Note: You may use your [Tab] key to move from one field to the next.

3. Define the breaks table for the Supplier, corresponding to the buying cost based on the weight processed, by entering values in the following fields. Enter cost details on Index line 1, 2, and so on, using as many lines as required. To do this:
On Index line 1:
Repeat the procedure for Index line 2, 3 and so on, until you have defined the breaks table.
Notes: (1) The final High Value in the breaks table must be 9999999. (2) A maximum of 12 lines/break values are available.
Example
In this example we wish to set up the following breaks table:
-
Up to 5 kg: the processing cost is £56.00
-
5.01 - 20 kg: the processing cost is £52.00
-
20.01 - 50 kg: the processing cost is £48.00
-
50.01 kg or more: the processing cost is £44.00
Therefore, on Index line 1 we must enter/select the following:
-
5 in the High Value field
-
56 in the Buying Cost field
-
Kg in the Alt Pricing field
Then on Index line 2 we must enter/select the following:
-
20 in the High Value field
-
52 in the Buying Cost field
-
Kg in the Alt Pricing field
Then on Index line 3 we must enter/select the following:
-
50 in the High Value field
-
48 in the Buying Cost field
-
Kg in the Alt Pricing field
Then on Index line 4 - which will be the final line of our breaks table - we must enter/select the following:
-
99999999 in the High Value field
-
44 in the Buying Cost field
-
Kg in the Alt Pricing field
4. When you have finished setting up your breaks table, click Save on the Toolbar - Sub Menu to save the Supplier Plating Charge record.
You may set up further Supplier Plating Charge records as necessary.
Note: Saved Supplier Plating Charge records will display in the Finder. See Finding Supplier Plating Charge Records.
Once created, the Supplier Plating Charge record is used in Works Order Processing to apply the correct charge levied by the Supplier for processing the given weight of the 'raw material' product. For further details see Supplier Plating Charge Maintenance.
