CHANGE ORDER BOTTOM

For Buttons jump to  Bottom  10 main buttons.

Order Pages

( Note pages depend on type of Invoice layout )
The Order bottom can have 20 items per screen. There's 20 lines in a non-multi-page Order and  80 lines in a multi-page. To go between the top page and the second page simply press the Page Down or Page Up keys on the keyboard. You can also click on the Scroll Bar on the right hand side of the screen. If the second page has not been created, the program will ask if you would like to create a second page. If you do not need the second page, ignore the message.

Messages on Order
Descriptions can also be typed in the part number description field to make up small paragraphs allowing you to put a description of the job prior to your parts and labour. By turning on the Word Wrap Option the text will word wrap, if the next line is blank only.

Entering Parts and Services
The Order bottom allows you to enter parts by typing them in directly but this method will not add to stock levels. Parts should be selected from the price book, thereby adding to the on order levels in the price book. This is done by either clicking the Find Part button or press the Alt + F keys.

When a part is entered from the Price book any changes made to that parts price, tax or quantity will be reflected back into the on order within the price book as the part is linked directly to the price book data base. To know whether a part is linked or not is quite easily seen by highlighting the parts description field. If the whole box is highlighted the part is not linked. If the part number is not highlighted then the part is linked as you cannot change the part number of the linked part.
Note: If the Don't Print Part Number is set in the set up, the whole box will not show as well.

Entering data into the Order bottom is done by simply typing in the information into the correct field then pressing enter. To move between lines you can press the down arrow or the up arrow, or you can click with the mouse on the line you wish to be on.

Price Field: When entering prices, do not use dollar signs or commas. The minus sign in front of the number for negative amounts and decimal points are allowed. The price field shows the current selling price for this item but when the price field is highlighted, it will show the unit's buy price. . The selling price will not total until you are off that line.
When the price field is highlighted you can take the tax off the price {if the g.s.t. tax has not been taken off the buy price} by pressing [Alt]+[C] or clicking the small button at the top of the price column. By typing a price with g.s.t. then typing [C] after will also remove the tax  eg. ( 220c[enter] ).

Tax Field: In the tax field you can only type the percentage. If it is 10% tax, only type in 10.
The way the tax is calculated is determined by your Order Setups and is set when the Order is first made.

Supplied Field: This supplied field is used only for part filled orders. If an order is part filled then type in the amount of parts supplied into this field then exit the order bottom and press the part filled button to send to creditors. If a second part payment is made just add the amount the last amount entered in the supplied field the order will only put through the addition into stock and creditors.

Quantity Field: Can have decimal places and can also have letters after the number. Eg: For 30 metres of rope you can type 30.5M for meters. As long as the M goes after the number. Or L for length, mm for millimeters

Editing Function Keys: There are also quite a few editing functions which can be seen by clicking on the Help button at the bottom of the screen or by pressing the [Alt[ + [H] keys. The Key Help button will pop up a window in the middle of the screen. This will show you all of the functions which can be used. All of these functions are used by holding down the [Alt] key and the corresponding letter key.

Alt + T: This puts in a total amount line on the Order which totals all items on the Order to that line the total was entered on and gives you the total.

Alt + S: This puts a sub-total on the Order. A sub-total gives you a total of all parts from the last sub-total or total in the list to the line that you are on.

Alt + Delete: This deletes the line that you have highlighted.

Alt + F: This allows you to jump into the price book to select parts.
