Goods Amount/Discount on Purchase Orders

Indicate how you want to present the amounts on the purchase orders.

Example

The order discount for a purchase order is 10%. The purchase order has the following lines:


Quantity	Price	Discount
1	100	5%
2	100	10%

Gross amount = all line amounts (= quantities * prices) = (100 * 1) + (100 * 2) = 
300.00.

Order line discount amount = 5 + 20 = 25.0 

Order	discount amount = (gross amount - total line discount amount) * 
                         order discount	/ 100 = (300 - 25) * 10 / 100 = 27.5 

Total discount amount = total line	discount amount + order discount amount = 
                        25 + 27.5 = 52.5.

Net amount = gross amount - total discount amount = 300 - 52.5 = 247.5

Example

The order discount for a purchase order is 10%. The purchase order has the following lines:


Quantity	Price	Discount
1	100	5%
2	100	10%

Gross amount = all line amounts (= quantities * prices) = (100 * 1) + (100 * 2) = 
300.00.

Order line discount amount = 5 + 20 = 25.0.
 
Order discount amount = (gross amount - total line discount amount) * 
                         order discount / 100 = (300 - 25) * 10 / 100 = 27.5. 

Total discount amount = total line discount amount + order discount amount = 
25 + 27.5 = 52.5.

Net amount = gross	amount - total discount amount = 300 - 52.5 = 247.5

 Gross Profit (%) = _______________ * 100%
		                       Costs

Purchase Price

The calculation of the gross profit percentage is based on the purchase price.

                            
                    Cost - Turnover
 Gross Profit (%) = _______________ * 100%
	                       Turnover

Method of Calculating Average Purchase Price

Specify how the average purchase price is calculated.

Note: If this parameter is Purchases (Cum.), use the Equate Balance of Receipts with Inventory Level (tdipu0201m000) session to equate the cumulative receipts with the inventory on hand. Only if you run this session regularly, you can calculate realistic average prices for items.

Allowed values

Purchases (Cum.)

The average purchase price is based on the following:

The price of a new receipt.
The average price of the cumulated purchases up to the time of the new receipt.

      
APN = ((PR * QR) + (APO * CRO)) ÷  (QR + CRO)

Current Inventory

The average purchase price is based on the following:

The price of a new receipt.
The average price of the current inventory.

      
APN = ((PR * QR) + (APO * ILO)) ÷ (QR + ILO)

APN - Average purchase price (new)
APO - Average purchase price (old)
PR - Price of the new receipt
QR - Quantity of the new receipt
CRO - Cumulative receipt quantity (old)
ILO - Inventory level (old)

Old (current) inventory considers the existing inventory on hand minus the not yet matched and approved receipts. Consequently, the average purchase price is based on financially matched and approved purchase orders.

If the method is set to Current Inventory and the result of the APN calculation is negative, the average purchase price receives the same value as the latest purchase price.

Price Stage Mandatory

If this check box is selected, the price stage must be specified for a purchase order line.

Note: This parameter is also applicable for the landed cost lines that are linked to a purchase order line.

Cost/Service Items on Claim Notes

Use Creation Date as Order Date when generating Purchase Order

If this check box is selected, the purchase order creation date is used as the order date when generating a purchase order from a planned order.

If this check box is cleared, the planned order's start date is used as the order date, provided this date is not in the past.

Note: If the Log Financial Economic Transactions parameter is set to Standard Cost in the Procurement Parameters (tdpur0100m000) session, regardless of the setting of the current field, the purchase order creation date is always used as the order date.

Confirm Receipt as Final

If this check box is selected, each purchase order line receipt automatically is a final receipt. Therefore, for each purchase order line receipt, the Final Receipt check box is automatically selected and disabled in the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session.

In this way, when confirming receipts, you need not check the received items and manually select the Final Receipt check box. This will speed up the receipt procedure, which can be important if large numbers of receipt transactions are involved. In addition, back orders are always created, because you cannot forget to select the Final Receipt check box.

If this check box is cleared, the Final Receipt check box is automatically selected only if the received quantity is greater than or equal to the ordered quantity for the purchase order line. If the Final Receipt is cleared, but a final receipt is applicable, you must manually select the Final Receipt check box in the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session.

Note: The only way to undo the automatic selection of the Final Receipt check box for an individual receipt is to correct the receipt in the Correct Purchase Receipt (tdpur4106s100) session.

Reopen Closed Purchase Orders Allowed
