PBI 216742 - BC Sales-purchase price interface - extend with priority

What

As a beverage company, we have a hierarchical price policy. The price for a specific customer has priority over a price for a group of customers where that customer is a member. The price for the group has priority over the price for all customers. A second option is also applicable Lowest Price, with this price calculation method the system always looks for the lowest price in the system.

Why

As a sales manager, I want to be able to apply one of the two policies available (Lowest or Hierarchical), so we are able to maintain our prices in an efficient way.

PBI 231267 - SPC Periodic Settlement - Include Loan in SPC Rule and Settlement (SPC for CMG)

What

Sales and Purchase Conditions relation with Contract Management Loans.

Why

As a beverage company, you have agreements with your customers. Part of this agreement can be a loan that you registered in a Drink-IT Contract Management Loan.

A possible pay back method for such a loan is pay back by periodic discounts. As a sales manager, you want to be able to connect a periodic discount rule to a loan, so the settlements for that rule will be applied to the loan amount that was given to the customer.

How

  1. Select the Search icon alt text, enter Sales and Purchase Condition Rules, and then choose the related link.
  2. On the Sales and Purchase Condition Rules list page, edit, or create as new, the rule you want to connect to a loan.
  3. On the Sales and Purchase Condition Rule Card page, on the Contract Management FastTab, select the loan in the Loan No. field. You can only select a loan for rules with the Source Type Customer or Vendor.

Once the loan number is selected on the rule:

  • New and existing Condition Ledger Entries (Sales and Purchase) will show this value in the Loan No. field.
  • The Condition Periodic Settlement Journals will show this value in the Loan No. field.
  • Settlement documents (for instance a sales credit memo) will be applied with the Loan Pay Out.
  • Settlement documents will show the number in the header and in lines of the Comment type.

How

PBI 241124 - Subtract Taxes from calculation basis for Gross% and Net% Calculations

What

Subtract Taxes from calculation basis for Gross% and Net% Calculations.

Why

In the tobacco industry, the retail prices are fixed for every retailer and they include vat and excises. The vat is paid at the source. As a sales manager, you want to be able to give discounts that you can register as a percentage on the net price, so you can optimize your sales in an efficient way.

How

  • On the Sales and Purchase Conditions, in the Calculate on Tax field, you can choose:
    • Blank (same as unselected in previous Drink-IT version)
    • Add Up Taxes (same as selected in previous Drink-IT version)
    • Subtract Taxes
    • The Tax Amount that is Added Up or Subtracted from the base amount before the percentage calculation are Tax Amounts for all movement types.
  • On the Sales and Purchase Conditions, in the Calculate on Deposit field, I can choose:
    • Blank (same as unselected in previous Drink-IT version)
    • Add Up Deposits (same as selected in previous Drink-IT version)
    • Subtract Deposits

PBI 239033 - Condition journal - Nothing suggested where it should

What

The condition journal would not suggest any line for a rule setup with Calculate on Special Price = Both. That has been resolved.

PBI 239102 - Condition journal - suggest and post for only changed rules

What

Suggest only for changed and newly created rules in the condition journal.

Why

Running the Suggest Periodic based on History function in the Condition Journal can become time consuming, for checking item ledger history when it checks for all condition rules.

How

Condition rules for periodic settlement get a flag Include in Suggest Periodic Journal, when released. When running the Suggest Periodic based on History in the Condition Journal, a default filter is set on this new flag. The field is set off when no lines need to be created or when lines were posted in the condition journal. A next time the rule is not checked again.

PBI 235464 - Unit Price/Direct Unit Cost in Sales-Purchase Line is not correct when Sales/Purchase UOM of item is not equal to Base UOM and Price Calc. Unit of Measure is filled in

What

Unit Price/Direct Unit Cost in Sales-Purchase Line is not correct when Sales/Purchase UOM of item is not equal to Base UOM and Price Calc. Unit of Measure is filled in.

Why

As a purchaser, you want to buy an item in Crates, while the base unit of measure is Bottle. When you create a purchase order, the Direct Unit Cost is wrong. The issue appears when the unit of measure in the field Price Calc. Unit of Measure is different from the Purch. Unit of Measure on the item card. This issue is fixed.
