Purchasing Maintenance

Covers 1099 form types; purchasing deal pricing; freight types; PO search; ship to locations; ship via methods and Vendor groups.

1099 Form Types

1099 Form Types allow customers to differentiate various 1099 types and which 1099 forms to use (1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-DIV) during Purchase Order entry. Once the form types have been created, they may be added to Vendor master records in order to act as the default when new Purchase Orders for this Vendor are created. If the Vendor does not have a default 1099 Form Type, users may select one manually during Purchase Order entry, either on the order header or individual purchase order lines. Note that the "1099 Required" flag on the Purchase Order must be checked for the Field Name to be displayed on the order.

Freight Types

Freight Types define the freight terms that will be used for both Purchase Orders and Sales Orders in Deacom. The purpose of these terms is to identify the party responsible for the payment of freight costs. In Deacom, customer and vendor records are assigned a Freight Type that acts as the default during order entry. During installation Deacom initially populates the freight types list with the following choices, but additional records may be added as desired:

  • Collect – Buyer pays freight charges.
  • Prepaid – Vendor pays freight charges.
  • Prepaid and Add – Vendor pays freight charges and adds to invoice.

For Purchase Orders, freight costs are posted to the Freight Account at standard cost regardless of the inventory costing method set in Accounting > Options > Costing tab. The Freight Account for a purchased item is defined in the "Standard Freight" field of the Item Master Accounts tab.This is not to be confused with the freight cost from the Item Master Costs tab, which is the freight cost for a Stock Pricing Unit of the item and is added to the total cost of the item upon receipt.

For Sales Orders, freight costs are added during order entry or upon shipment, depending on when the details of the freight costs are known.

Description

Load Unit

Search field used to define the Unit that is used to measure the "Load Size" defined.

Load Size

Defines the load size, which may be the maximum load size if necessary, in the "Load Unit" for this method.

  • When the value is this field is exceeded on Sales or Purchase Orders, the system will prompt the user, but not prevent saving the order.
  • If a Vendor Cross Reference Part specifies an Incremental PO Quantity , and the Vendor's Ship Via has the "Split POs on Load Size" field checked, MRP will create PO's for a multiple of the Incremental PO quantity without exceeding the Ship Via's load size.
  • When creating Purchase Orders in MRP, the system will compare the quantity in this field to the quantity in the "PO Quantity" field on the Item Master record(s) contained on the Purchase Order. The following checks will occur:
    • Is the Item Master's "Split POs By" field set to "PO Quantity."
    • Is the "Split MRP POs on Load Size" field marked as true on the Ship Via, and is the quantity in this field less than the quantity in the "PO Quantity" field.
    • If the above conditions are met, the system will use the quantity in the "Load Size" field and not the quantity in the "PO Quantity" field. If the quantity in this field is greater than the quantity in the "PO Quantity" field, the "PO Quantity" value will be used when creating POs in MRP.

Service Provider

Pick list used in conjunction with the Fed Ex API and UPS API and the "Service Type" to define the Service Provider, if applicable. Options are:

  • None - For customers that will not use the FedEx or UPS options.
    • If "None" is not selected in this field, and either "FedEx" or "UPS" are selected, the system will use the FedEx or UPS credentials set in System > Options (prior to 17.03) or Sales > Options (17.03 and later) when shipping with FedEx or UPS.
  • FedEx
  • UPS  (Note: when using a Ship Via Method of UPS, and shipping a sales order with freight added, the system will get the necessary freight charge from UPS an add it as a line item to the order.)

Service Type

Pick list used in conjunction with the Fed Ex API and UPS API and the "Service Provider" to define the delivery method.

  • Service Types are required by FedEx and UPS to properly process shipments.
  • Options vary depending on the "Service Provider" selected and include selections like Ground, Priority Overnight, Same Day, etc.
  • This list is provided by FedEx/UPS then coded into the Fed EX API/UPS API within Deacom.
  • The Deacom Fed Ex/UPS API sends the "Service Type" selection to FedEx and UPS respectively.
  • Companies using the FedEx/UPS options will want to name Ship Vias based on the "Service Types" that will be used in order to keep things consistent and easier for users or order entry personnel.
  • For the "First Overnight" and "Priority Overnight" options, the Weight input on the Package Line form has been unlocked, but is optional for processing the shipment.
  • When a Sales Order or Master Order is created or modified, a Service Type validation check is now automatically performed to ensure that any Ship Via(s) with a FedEx Service Type attached to the order are valid for the selected Ship-To Address(es). The validation check is also performed when a Ship-To Company is created or modified, with the system checking to see if the Ship Via specified on the Order Defaults tab contains a FedEx Service Type and if the address on the Ship-to is valid for the Service Type selected. A typical example for FedEx is Next Day and Next Day Priority. Rural address often does not support AM delivery, but can use Next Day PM delivery. If the FedEx Service Type is not valid for the specified address(es), the system will display an invalid service type prompt and the Ship-To record or order may not be saved until the correct Service Type is selected.
  • A check when using Master Orders to ensure that Ship-To records do not have two different Ship-Vias entered on different lines during order entry. In this case, the user will be alerted and and informed of which lines contain different Ship-Vias.

  • POs - Purchase Orders with this Ship Via selected that are created via MRP will be split based on the "Load Size" defined.
  • ICTs - Inter Company Transfer Orders with this Ship Via selected that are created via MRP will be split based on the "Load Size" defined.
  • All - Both Purchase Orders and Inter Company Transfer Orders with this Ship Via selected that are created via MRP will be split based on the "Load Size" defined.
  • None - Neither Purchase Orders nor Inter Company Transfer Orders with this Ship Via selected that are created via MRP will be split based on the "Load Size" defined.

Note: If the load size is less than the minimum purchasable, the PO will not be created and will prompt the user "The PO cannot be created as the order quantity would be less than the minimum purchasable amount of the Ship Via".

Packing Instructions Required

If checked, Packing Instructions are required when shipping one or more Parts flagged as "Hazardous" on their Item Master Properties tab.

Approval Required

If checked, this Ship Via Method must be added to a Ship-to Company's Authorized Ship Via Methods tab to be available for use on Sales Orders.

  • This flag must be checked in order to add records and use the "Authorized Ship-To Companies" tab on this form.

Authorized Ship-To Companies tab (requires DSD license)

The Authorized Ship-To Companies tab allows users to authorize Ship-To Companies for this specific Ship Via Method. This in turn will add the Ship Via Method as authorized on the Authorized Ship Via Method tab on the Edit Ship-To Company form.
