Calculator context application

The Calculator context application is available in Sales Order Entry if these conditions are met:

  • The unit of measure for a product is a dimensional, such as square feet or linear feet.
  • You are in Advanced Line Entry.

When you sell dimensional products, you can use the calculator to determine the quantity for the line. For example, suppose you sell plywood by the square foot. You sell three pieces of plywood that were cut to 3' x 5' 5-3/4”. Specify the quantity and the product dimensions in the Calculator to determine that total square footage for the three pieces is 48.75 sq/ft.

The values that are specified in the Calculator are cleared when you add the line to the order.
