Freight and Other Charges represents those fees for the entire order regardless of how manyindividual shipments will be received. The system will calculate a percentage of the freight andother charges amounts based on the item’s received cost or weight (depending on how option105 “Use Landed Cost in Receiving?” is set) instead of using the entire freight/other chargesamounts. The percentage calculated will be used in calculating the landed cost, which gives amore accurate inventory average cost for the item. The remaining portion of Freight and OtherCharges remain on the open PO.For example, if you have a purchase order that contains two items, one costing $25.00, anothercosting $75.00, there is $10.00 in freight, the purchase order is set to backorder yes, and youhave selected to land cost based upon extended cost. During the first receiving of themerchandise, only the first item is included and only $2.50 in freight is used, leaving thepurchase order open waiting for the second item to be received and $7.50 will be shown as thefreight remaining to be used.The amount of freight and other charges that is applied is based upon a simple ratio of theportion being received. In this example, total merchandise was $100, the amount being receivedwas $25, (100/25 = 0.25). The total amount of freight was $10.00, therefore (10 X 0.25 = 2.50)and $2.50 in freight was applied. If you land cost based upon weight, the same calculation isused, but in place of the cost, total weight and the weights of the items are used.<strong>New</strong> Option Automatically Changes Future POs to Normal When CurrentSet option 9823 “Change Future POs to Normal POs once they become current?” to Yes if youwant the utility “Fix Quantity on Order” (AUDITO) to automatically change Future POs to NormalPOs once they become current. A Future PO becomes current based on option 104 “Number ofDays Before Future PO Quantity Becomes Current.” For example, if option 104 is set to 14, thesystem considers Future orders that are due within the next 14 days as current.If this option is set to Yes, then when AUDITO runs with option F, it reads through all the FuturePOs on your system. If it finds future POs that are considered current (per option 104), thesystem automatically changes this Future PO to a Normal PO. This means the order quantitiesare deducted from the Future Order Qty (FOQ) field in Inventory Maintenance, and added to theQuantity on Order (QOO) field. If this option is set to No, the system (RSO) still considers aFuture PO as current (based on the number of days in option 104) but the quantities remain inthe FOQ bucket in Inventory Maintenance and the PO will remain a Future type order inPurchasing (MPO).Purchasing Information Report (RPP) Can Now Delete POs with Only CommentsRemainingThe Purchasing Information Report (RPP) has a new report option, which is G “Delete PO’s withonly comments remaining.” Report Option G can be used to delete PO’s (status X, or F, or P)which have nothing left on them except comment lines (all remaining lines have a blank SKU).Automatically Recalculate Number of Weeks on Order Point Report<strong>New</strong> Order Point Report (ROP) option W “Recalculate the # of weeks at the time the report runs(Method 3)” uses the current system date at the time the report is run and updates the numberof weeks in each period on the OP Weights page of ROP.
