Double Confirmation of Release Notes |
If this option is activated, Release Notes are confirmed twice. The 1st confirmation executes the physical release of article from the stock record (the "CFExpe" field - Dispatch) - this article is not in the property of the company anymore, and the customer has not taken it yet. A document after the 1st confirmation is indicated by the icon The second confirmation will make a release from the dispatch. From the accounting point of view, the date of first confirmation is the decisive factor for Release Notes. |
Assign batches and locations to releases when saving |
On - when saving a Release Note, batches will be automatically inserted into each Release item by means of the FIFO method, which have the batch records and where no batch is inserted. K2 evaluates the order of batches for release according to the FIFO method on the basis of batch abbreviation created by the date of batch formation, and by the ordinal number in terms of a date. Assignment applies for locations as well. Only the location with the active option of Automatic Release is automatically inserted according to the location of the abbreviation. Off - the user must enter a batch and a location by him/herself upon release. The user can use the automatic assignment (as well as if this option was enabled) by pressing the Ctrl + F6 keys (on the 2nd page of Release note in the Change mode). |

If this option is active, the so-called "Internal Sales Order" will be created in the given book; these Internal Sales Orders represent a document which creates an internal request for production of a product or a semi-finished product.

Default Priority for Production |
Presetting of a priority for production. The value is transferred to an item of the Sales Order that is created in the selected book of sale and is then transferred to the Job Card header. |
Auto Creation of Contract Code for Sales Orders (Applies to Contract Code, Template) |
Setting a template for creating the contract code can provide auto creation of a contract code into the Sales Orders documents. A contract code by template is created when saving a new Sales Order document, and it replaces the code on the document heading and on its items, which is defined as a code for transcription (the Applies to Contract Code field). On items where the flag of a Release Note is assigned before saving the Sales Order, the code is not replaced. The contract code created according to the template has an internal flag that defines it as an automatically generated code. When copying a Sales Order which contains such a code (in the header or in items), a new code, which is designated as a transcription code, is entered into the new Sales Order, and then a new code according to the template is created when saving a new Sales Order. The template is created using the standard parameters of the "at signs", as well as e.g. the reference number definition. Example: @KN()@OB(2)@CI(N04) create the contract code in the full number of the Sales Order format (book + business year + number of the Sales Order completed by zeros to four signs). |
For the first item of sales order create |
In this column, you can set which documents of Sale should be created when inserting the first item of a Sales Order. You can check the random combination of documents. |
Priorities |
In this section, you can set the sequence of confirmation of Sale documents. A document with a lower number must be confirmed before the document with a higher number. If you confirm the document with a higher number earlier, a message saying that it is necessary to confirm a document with the lower number at first will appear. The exception upon evaluating are items of an Article category which prohibits the assignment to some document. In this case, the existence of a document is not evaluated and the confirmation of a following document is enabled. Note: You can only break the priority if you are authorized by the Break Priorities of Documents from Book right in the Sale - General section. |
Variable Symbols |
Here you can predefine the Reference Numbers that will be inserted into the documents when creating a Sales Order, an Order Confirmation or an Invoice Out. A reference number can be composed of the fixedly specified characters or with using the variable parameters "at-signs".
Supported parameters: 1) @CI(N0Y): fills in the document number and further completes this number by zeros to the specified number of characters. The (N0Y) represents the number of digits of how many places (determined by the Y value) the document number will be completed by zeros (determined by the 0 character). For instance, when setting the 4002@CI(N07) and the 1256 being the number of a document for which a reference number should be created, then the reference number will be: 40020001256. 2) It is possible to set the definition of the reference number as to not fill the Invoice number by zeros to the specified number of characters. The definition has to be entered in this way: @CI(N00). The second defined zero means that the filling of zeros (the first defined zero) is cancelled. 3) @KO(1 up to 12): a Contract Code is entered, the numbers 1 up to 12 define how many characters from the abbreviation of a Contract Code will be used. 4) @ST(1 up to 12): a Cost Centre is entered, the numbers 1 up to 12 define how many characters from the abbreviation of a Cost Centre will be used. 5) @OB(1, 2 or 4): fills in the business year. The number 1 determines that the year will be expressed in one number (e.g. the year 2014 will be expressed by the number 4). The number 2 determines that the year will be expressed in two digits (e.g. 14). Number 4 determines that the year will be expressed in integer (e.g. 2014). 6) @KN(): fills in the book of the document. It is necessary to enter a parameter including brackets; however, no values are written into the brackets.
It is possible to combine these strings in a definition (also with the constant numbers), but the maximal length of a string is 20 characters per definition. For example: @OB(4)@CI(N07). At the same time, there are also the English equivalents implemented for each string: @CI = @NO, @KO = @CC, @ST = @CE, @OB = @PE, @KN = @BO
If all fields of Variable Symbols stay empty, a VS will be automatically filled only into an Invoice in the @CI(N07) format. A Variable Symbol is created when saving document. |
