Entering Special Timber And Sheet Products

When you add a Special Product you must first enter details in the upper section of the Add Special Product window to associate the Special Product with either an existing Product or a Product Group (see Creating And Associating The Special Product).

 

If you selected to base the new Special Product on a 'Timber' or 'Sheet' Product Group or Product record, an additional set of fields which apply only to Timber/Sheet products will display, in which you must enter/amend further details. For example:

Enter the width and depth - in millimetres - of the Special Timber (or Sheet) Product.

 

Presentation

 

This field controls the pricing and display of Timber lines on orders and invoices. E is the default option but you may enter an alternative if necessary. The following options are available:

 

  • Lump Sum: Detailed Unit Prices and Detailed Line Values (A)

  • Lump Sum: Detailed Unit Prices and Total Value (B)

  • Lump Sum: Total Value Only (C)

  • Combined: Detailed Unit Prices and Total Value (D)

  • Combined: Total Value Only (E)

  • Combined Treatment: Detailed Unit Prices and Detailed Line Values (F)

  • Combined Treatment: Detailed Unit Prices and Total Value (G)

  • Combined Treatment: Total Value Only (H)

 

Each menu option represents a different combination of timber Price Options and Presentation Options, which are defined as follows:

 

Price Option

 

Definition

 

Lump Sum

For each detail line use the line unit price to calculate the line amount.

 

Combined

Calculate a total unit price for the order by dividing the total order amount by the total order quantity. Use the new total unit price to calculate a total order amount.

 

Note: Quantum VS will indicate that the 'new' total order amount on the summary line is different from the original order amount with an asterisk (*).

Combined Treatment

Calculate a total treatment cost per unit of timber ordered. Add the treatment cost to the line unit price and use this to calculate a line amount.

 

 

Presentation Option

 

Definition

 

Detailed Unit Prices and Detailed Line Values

Per detail line display all unit prices and amounts.

 

Note: This option is not valid with Price Option 2 - as this pricing option does not calculate detail line amounts.

Detailed Unit Prices and Total Value

 

Per detail line display all unit prices. Only display the total order amount.

Total Value Only

Per detail line do not display unit prices or line amounts. Only display the total order amount.

 

 

Statistics

 

Choose the unit of measure that the Timber is stocked in; i.e. whether it is stocked by Volume, Length, Pieces, or Standard sizes - or Sheet (for Sheet products). These are fixed measures. For example, if you choose Volume, and sell stock as 3 pieces, then statistics will be calculated based on the Volume of the product.

 

Works Order Required

 

Check this field if a Works Order is required.

 

Treatments

 

Choose any treatments available with this Special Timber Product.

 

Long Length Code

 

Click the drop-down menu to select an appropriate long length surcharge group for the Special Timber Product. This ensures that the correct long length surcharge will be applied.

 

 

Note: Default settings when creating a Timber or Sheet Special are taken from the Default Timber or Default Sheet Product records. See Default Product Records Maintenance.

 

You may now continue by completing the remaining Special Product fields.
