    View Price

    Select this option to enable the employee to view the price of products on transactions in Storeroom. To include the price of products on pick tickets, you must also select the Print Price on Pick Ticket option.

    The employee must specified on issues or returns to view the prices.

    Print Price on Pick Ticket

    Select this option to include the product prices on pick tickets for transactions that are associated with the employee, such as issues. The View Price option must also be selected.

    If an employee is not specified on an issue, product prices are included on pick tickets if Pick Print Price in Customer Setup-Ordering is selected.

    Allow Override of $ Limits
    Select this option to enable the employee to exceed all limit amounts, such as the Daily $ Limit Amt, that are specified in this tab. When the employee exceeds a limit amount, a warning is displayed but the employee can submit the issue.

    Select this option to enable backorder creation when insufficient quantities of either customer-owned or distributor-owned inventory are available to fill the order.

    $ Limit Amt

    Amounts are calculated by multiplying the issued quantity by the price or cost of the product. If the product is distributor-owned, the price is used.
