Add Vendor Item

Once changes are made to the layout, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Save Layout icon and save the changes to the column layout. The visibility of the Filter Row is also saved with a saved layout. The new layout can also be set as the default. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).  Default layouts can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default layout is selected.  

Please note that existing saved grid layouts will display the Filter Row as hidden by default.

Line Vendor

Identifies the Vendor that the transaction line item was purchased and/or received from. 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.

Database Fields: ERPx_APVendor.VendorName, ERPx_APPoLine.VendorSK

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).

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.

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.

Database Field: ERPx_APPoLine.OrderedQuantity

UOM

Identifies the unit of measure that the units are stored in (Box, Bag, Case, Each, Tote, etc.) for a line item or on the transaction. This is a single-select lookup that defaults from the Item's default "Purchase Order UOM" if one has been setup, otherwise it will default from the "Default Invoice, Credit & PO UOM" Purchasing Preference. This is required and 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'.

The lookup contains all 'Active' UOMs on the selected Item's UOM Schedule.

When AP Invoices and Credit Memos are loaded from a PO, the 'UOM' will default from the Purchase Order Item's UOM.

A UOM is a quantity used as a standard of measurement. It identifies how much makes up "1" of the measurement. Examples include Bag, Box, Each, Kg, Lb, ext.
