Core Setup

Core Product Default

Pretend or append the core product number with a prefix or suffix to identify the core product's associated implied core and dirty core products. The implies core is a labor product charge.

The assigned prefix/suffix becomes part of the implied/dirty core product number. It is displayed in the related field in Product Setup-Cores when you set up any remanufactured core products. For example, if your core product number is 123456789012345678901234 and your implied core prefix/suffix is x, these values alter the number as noted:

  • No Product Default: No prefix/suffix. The Implied Core Product and Dirty Core Product fields are blank. For example, 123456789012345678901234.
  • Prefix with Alphanumeric Rule: The Implied Core Product and Dirty Core Product fields are populated with the default prefix, plus character 1 through 24 of the core product name. For example, x12345678901234567890123. If the core product number begins with 0-9, the fields are populated with the default prefix, plus character 2 through 24. For example, x23456789012345678901234.
  • Prefix with No Rule: The Implied Core Product and Dirty Core Product fields are populated with this default prefix, plus character 1 through 24 of the core product name. For example, x12345678901234567890123.
  • Suffix after Product: The Implied Core Product and Dirty Core Product fields are populated with character 1 through 23, plus the default suffix. For example, 12345678901234567890123x.

When you create a prefix/suffix, consider the product number character limit. If your prefix/suffix causes the product number to exceed the 24-character, the product number may be truncated in the display field. Avoid using a prefix or suffix that is already be part of a product number.

If you have active transactions in the system and want to change the prefix or suffix defaults, you must change the re-manufactured product’s Product Setup record. Specify Standard Product in the Product Type field to clear the Implied Core Charge and Dirty Core Product fields. Then, specify Remanufactured Product in the Product Type field, and specify the new implied core charge and dirty core products.

Dirty Core Character

Specify the prefix or suffix here, such as COR, that is based on the Core Product Default field. You can specify up to four characters.

When you set up a re-manufactured core product record in Product Setup, the associated dirty core product name is required. If you use a numbering system to identify core-related products, select a Core Product Default and then specify the prefix or suffix characters that identify the associated products.

Implied Core Character

Specify the prefix or suffix, such as COR, that is based on the Core Product Default field. You can specify up to four characters.

When you set up a re-manufactured core product record in Product Setup, the associated implied core product name is required. If you use a numbering system to identify core-related products, select a Core Product Default and then specify the prefix or suffix characters that identify the associated products.

Default Grace Period

If you do not specify a grace period here, the Product Setup record is used to establish a core product grace period in Sales Order Entry. If no grace period is set in Product Setup, the default value is zero.

Note:  Use the Customer field in the Default Grace Period section in conjunction with Grace Types and Product Customer Grace Period Setup.
Customer

Specify the number of days or months to use as the default grace period for customers.

Vendor

Specify the number of days or months to use as the default grace period for vendors.

Enable Grace Types

Select grace types to make them available in Product Customer Grace Period Setup as values in the Record Type field. You can then customize a grace period in Product Customer Grace Period Setup that based on customer, product, and warehouse. The types are checked sequentially for matches between values you set in Product Customer Grace Period Setup and associated values input into Sales Order Entry to determine the appropriate grace period for the customer.

We recommend that you use this feature to set up exceptions, not rules. You can select these values:

  • Customer/Ship To: An exact match of customer number and ship-to location.
  • Customer/Ship To/Product Price Type/Whse: An exact match of customer number, ship-to location, product price type, and warehouse.
  • Customer/Ship To/Whse/Product Price Type (1-2): An exact match of customer number, ship-to location, warehouse, and the first two characters of the product price type.
  • Customer/Ship To/Product Price Type: An exact match of customer number, ship-to location, and product price type.
  • Customer/Ship To/Product Price Type (1-2): An exact match of customer number, ship-to location, and the first two characters of the product price type.
  • Customer Type/Product Price Type/Whse: An exact match of customer type, product price type, and warehouse.
  • Customer Type/Whse/Product Price Type (1-2): An exact match of customer type, warehouse, and the first two characters of the product price type.
  • Customer Type/Product Price Type: An exact match of customer type, product price type, and a blank Warehouse field.
  • Customer Type/Product Price Type (1-2): An exact match of customer type, the first two digits of the product price type, and a blank Warehouse field.
