If you will be working with timber products you may set up default long length surcharges for your available categories of timber product.
This will help save time when adding timber products to Sales Orders. When users are adding timber items to Sales Orders and wish to apply a long length surcharge using the Options tab of the Timber Entry window the appropriate long length surcharges will be available via the menu.
Note: Your available categories of timber, for which you may apply long length surcharges, are held in the table file TLLS (Timber Long Length Surcharges). Before you can set up your long length surcharges you will need to create these timber categories in the TLLS table file using Table File Maintenance, so that they are listed in the Long Length Surcharge control record.
To set up your available long length surcharges, or edit existing long length surcharges:
1. Either:
From the Home tab: under links, select more then select Long Length Surcharge.
Or: From the Toolbar Main Menu: select Edit then select Long Length Surcharge.
Or: Click the appropriate module on the Mega Menu (e.g. Stock Control), then under manage select Long Length.
The Long Length Surcharge control record will open in a new tab.
2. To amend the record, select Amend from the Toolbar - Sub Menu.
3. The record is now active and ready for editing.
Your available categories of timber, for which you may apply long length surcharges, are listed as tabs/headers to the left of the Long Length Surcharge control record. When one of these categories is highlighted (e.g. Softwood Surcharges), the surcharges - and the lengths they apply to - for this category are listed:
From the left-hand list of timber categories, select the first category for which you wish to enter surcharges (e.g. Softwood).
Note: If no categories are listed you will first need to set them up in the TLLS (Timber Long Length Surcharges) table file using Table File Maintenance.
4. Use the Branch menu to select the branch for which the entered long length surcharges will apply (e.g. Warrington).
5. Enter the long length surcharges which will apply to your selected timber category and branch (e.g. Softwood at Warrington). Use the following as a guide:

Note: To complete the surcharge table the final 'To' value should be set to 99.99 to act as a maximum figure. |
