Setting up National Program products

For a product that may qualify for a National Program, depending on your workflow, some settings are required, recommended, or optional. Setup considerations are listed for these modules: Product Setup, Product Warehouse Product Setup, and Product Catalog Setup.

An individual product is not specifically flagged as a National Program product. Rather, a product is qualified for a National Program during processing.
Note: These instructions are limited to National Program fields. See the online documentation for instructions for full instructions for configuring this function.
  • In Product > Setup > Product:
    • Create a labor product; named, for example, Labor-NP.

      If the Vendor [Manufacturer] allows commissions, you are required to specify a valid labor Product Setup record. This labor product is selected when setting up PD Pricing Setup-National Program records. You can set up a labor product specifically for National Program items.

    • In General-Category, select a Model.

      If you participate in National Programs that use product model numbers, you can associate that number with a product.

    • In General-Kit, in Order Entry Kit Rollup, select Blank.

      If you have one or more kit components that qualify for National Program, ensure this field is set to Blank. Component prices or costs must not be rolled into the kit.

  • In Product > Setup > Warehouse Product:
    • In General-Authorized Replenishment Path, in Vendor, specify the National Program Claim Account that you specified in Customer Setup-Ordering and associated with this Vendor [Manufacturer].

      An authorized replenishment path (ARP) vendor is the primary source for a product. The Product Warehouse Product Setup ARP vendor is used as the vendor for matching PD Pricing Setup-National Program records.

  • In Product > Setup > Catalog:
    • National Program functionality is for stocked products only. You can setup a catalog product ahead of time so the catalog product is available and can be converted to a stock product.
    • In General-Settings, select a Model.

      If you participate in National Programs that use product model numbers, you can associate that number with a catalog product.
