Supplier Plating Charge records are used for recording and applying the plating charges charged by a Supplier for processing a product based on the weight. If the Supplier charges different amounts for processing different quantities you may define a breaks table to record the applicable plating charges.
Once created, a Supplier Plating Charge record is used in Works Order Processing as follows:
A Works Order Process record holds details of a 'raw material' product to be processed (e.g. a product which requires plating) and the Supplier who will perform the processing.
Supplier Plating Charges - i.e. the table of charges charged by a Supplier for processing a product based on the weight - are linked to the Works Order Process via the Product Process field in the Works Order Process record.
When a product which requires processing/plating is Purchase Ordered or Sales Ordered, a Works Order is generated automatically to order the 'raw material' product(s) to be processed/plated (based on details recorded in the Works Order Process record). Weight-based charges levied by the supplier for processing/plating the 'raw material' product are calculated by the system automatically according to the breaks table defined in the Supplier Plating Charge record.
You sell a product called Shiny Screws, which you do not stock. Shiny Screws are created via a Works Order Process, whereby a certain quantity of a 'raw material' product - Dull Screws - is sent off to the 'Supplier' Peter's Platers to be plated. Peter's Platers charge different amounts depending on the weight of the 'raw material' product to be processed:
Up to 4 kg: the processing cost is £56.00
5 - 19 kg: the processing cost is £52.00
20 - 49 kg: the processing cost is £48.00
50 kg or more: the processing cost is £44.00
These weights and processing costs may be recorded as a breaks table within the Supplier Plating Charge record, so that the correct processing charge is applied depending on the weight of the 'raw material' product to be processed.
Certain features in Quantum VS must be configured to set up Supplier Plating Charges:
The following Optional Enhancement must be switched ON:
Price Book 717: Supplier Pricing.
When this Optional Enhancement is switched on, the 'Supplier Plating Charges' feature becomes available in:
the Finder (see Finding Supplier Plating Charge Records); and
menus for creating a new document (see Creating A Supplier Plating Charge Record).
