Amt. Fully Invoiced

Identifies whether the 'Amt. Ordered' has been fully Invoiced. If the 'Amt. Invoiced' for the line item is >= the 'Amt. Ordered' for the item, the item is considered "Fully Invoiced" in terms of Amount (cost) and will display as "Yes" otherwise it will be blank. This allows users to easily determine which PO's have amounts that have not yet been invoiced. This is a calculated field and is not stored in the database.

Amt. Fully Received

Identifies whether the 'Amt. Ordered' has been fully Received. If the 'Amt. Received' for the line item is >= the 'Amt. Ordered' for the item, the item is considered "Fully Received" in terms of Amount (cost) and will display as "Yes" otherwise it will be blank. This allows users to easily determine which PO's have amounts that have not yet been Received. This is a calculated field and is not stored in the database.

Amt. Ordered

Identifies the extended amount of the line item based on the ordered quantity. This is auto calculated as [Qty Ordered] x [Price]. This can only be updated by changing either the 'Qty Ordered' or 'Price'. This is formatted to the currency decimals on the Currency assigned to the Purchase Order Header Vendor.

Database Field: ERPx_APPoLine.ExtendedAmount

AP Amt. Posted

Identifies the sum of the extended amounts of the line item that have been included on "Posted" AP Invoices and AP Credit Memos. This is a calculated field, formatted to the currency decimals on the Currency assigned to the Purchase Order Header Vendor.

Line Vendor

This is a single-select lookup that defaults as blank and is not required. This is only used for non-inventory type Items and line items that are being sourced from a different Vendor than is assigned on the Purchase Order header. This is only editable for line items with an 'Item Type' of "Manual" until the first AP Invoice, AP Credit Memo, or IM Receipt against the Purchase Order Item is Posted or until the Purchase Order is 'Closed'. This is disabled for all line items that are inventory type items.

This feature is used when more than 1 vendor is required to complete the Purchase Order. For example, on PO-123 you are purchasing 2 different Item Codes of packaging from ACME PACKAGING for $2,200. However, the order will be delivered by ABC DELIVERY who will be invoicing you separately for $150. Using this feature, you can add all 3 lines to the same Purchase Order and assign "ABC Delivery" as the 'Item Vendor' for the 'FREIGHT' line. When you enter the invoice from ACME PACKAGING it will auto load with only the 2 Item Codes and when you enter the invoice from ABC DELIVERY it will auto load with only the freight item. This helps ensure more visibility to all your costs while reducing the chance of overpaying for something.

The lookup contains a blank value, the current assigned value, and a list of all the 'Active' AP Vendors assigned to the same Currency ID as the Vendor on the Header. It excludes the Vendor assigned to the Transaction Header.

This is an editable text box that defaults to the next available base-10 number. It is required, and is editable until the transaction is Approved, Posted, or Closed. To re-sequence the line items, edit one or more lines with a new positive number that would put the line item where you want it sorted, and click the Save button. On save, the line items will be resorted, and the Ln. values will be re-set to base-10 values.

For example, if you had line items 10, 20, and 30 and you wanted the last one (Ln. 30) to be second, you could edit the value to any number between 10 and 20 (i.e. 15) and on save the lines would be sorted in the new sequence (10, 15, and 30) and then all Ln.'s would be re-set to base 10 numbers (10, 20, 30).

Purchase GL Account

Insert excerpt

nopaneltrue
This is a single-select lookup textbox that is not required. This is only editable for some of the line items with an 'Item Type' of "Manual", until the Purchase Order is 'Closed' and is editable based on:

  1. For line items that are NOT being distributed to a Fisherman, Tender, or Loan

    1. Defaults from the Primary Vendor's default "Purchases" account if one has been setup, or if a Line Vendor has been selected, this will update to the Line Vendor's default "Purchases" account after Save.

    2. Otherwise, it defaults from the Item's default "Purchases" account if one has been setup, else it will be blank for the user to select an account.

    3. Editable until the Purchase Order is 'Closed'.

  2. For line items distributed to a Fisherman, Tender, or Loan

    1. Defaults from the Fishermen, Tender, or Loans default "Settlement Accrual" account if one has been setup otherwise it defaults from the Fisherman Accounting Preferences default "Settlement Accrual" account.

    2. Edit is not allowed.

(lightbulb) When AP Invoices and/or Credit Memos are loaded from a PO, the 'Purchase Account' will default from the current Purchase Account assigned to the Purchase Order Item.

The lookup contains a blank value, the current assigned value, and a list of all the 'Active' GL Accounts where the "Use in AP" checkbox has been assignedThe Account can be updated by entering a new account segment value along with the separator to quickly replace an account with a new account value (for example an account in the same division but different department), or search for an account based on the account segment(s) entered.  For example, if the line item Account displays ‘6110-200-10 - Repairs & Maintenance: Plant’ and a user enters '-12' and an active account number '6110-200-12' exists, the Account field will be automatically updated to display the new account number and account description. 

Additionally, the "Account Segment for Quick Replacement" preference in Financial > Configuration > Preferences can be set for the most commonly replaced Account Segment to allow for the account to be updated automatically based on the segment value entered without the segment separator. 

For example:

  • The Account Format in NorthScope is setup with three segments, broken down as follows: Segment 1 = "Account" and is 4 digits long, Segment 2 = "Division" and is 3 digits long and Segment 3 = "Department" and is 2 digits long.

  • Account Segment for Quick Replacement Financial Preference is set to ‘3 - Department’

  • User opens an Invoice Record View with a line item Account of ‘6110-200-10 - Repairs & Maintenance: Plant’

  • User deletes Purchase GL Account content and types in ‘12’

  • NorthScope uses the entry of ‘12’ combined with the Account Segment for Quick Replacement preference of ‘3 - Department’ to determine the ‘12’ is referencing the department segment of the GL Account and does one of two things:

    • Defaults the Purchase GL Account to the only account that matches, if there’s only one, reading “6110-200-12 – [Account Description]”

    • Displays the Account Lookup with all the Accounts available that match the value entered for the user to select the correct account

Note: Users may only replace an account with active accounts that are set to 'Use in AP' in the GL Accounts master file.  

(lightbulb) When AP Invoices and/or Credit Memos are loaded from a PO, the 'Purchase Account' will default from the current Purchase Account assigned to the Purchase Order Item.

Qty Fully Invoiced

Identifies whether the 'Qty Ordered' has been fully Invoiced. If the 'Qty Invoiced' for the line item is >= the 'Qty Ordered' for the item, the item is considered "Fully Invoiced" in terms of quantity (units or weight) and will display as "Yes" otherwise it will be blank. This allows users to easily determine which PO Items have quantities that have not yet been invoiced. This is a calculated field and is not editable or stored in the database.

Qty Fully Received

Identifies whether the 'Qty Ordered' has been fully Received. If the 'Qty Received' for the line item is >= the 'Qty Ordered' for the item, the item is considered "Fully Received" in terms of quantity (units or weight) and will display as "Yes" otherwise it will be blank. This allows users to easily determine which PO Items have quantities that have not yet been invoiced. This is a calculated field and is not editable or stored in the database.

Qty Ordered

Identifies the quantity of the line item being ordered. This is a numeric text box that defaults to 0 and must be > = 0. It is formatted to the Item's 'Unit Decimals' or 'Weight Decimals' depending on the UOM. This is only editable for line items with an 'Item Type' of "Manual" until the Purchase Order is 'Closed'. If the line item is a Fixed Weight item that requires whole units, then on Save:

  1. If a user enters a quantity and a weight UOM we check all conversions back to unit UOMs to verify that the weight value can actually convert back when we create a receipt.

  2. If no conversions are found then the following alert will be displayed to the user but will still allow the line item to save.

    1. Alert “Warning: Item [ItemID]: Qty does not convert to any UOMs on the [UOMScheduleID] UOM Schedule.”

  3. If a user enters a fractional quantity and selects a unit UOM the following alert will be displayed to the user but will still allow the line item to save.

    1. Alert “Warning: Item [ItemID]: Requires whole units and you have saved a fractional unit.”

These alerts are only displayed where applicable for new lines being added, or if an existing line Quantity or UOM are being updated.

An Item is a 'Fixed Weight' item that requires whole units when the following properties are set as:

  • Manage Items By = "Units and Weight"

  • Variable Weight = "No"

  • Require Whole Units = "Yes"


When AP Invoices and/or Credit Memos are loaded from a PO, the 'Quantity' will default as [Qty Ordered] - [Qty Invoiced]. If this results in a negative amount it will default as 0.00.

(lightbulb) When IM Receipts are loaded from a PO, the 'Quantity' will default as [Qty Ordered] - [Qty Received]. If this results in a negative amount it will default as 0.00.
