Defining Values for the Sales Type
Page 2
Sales Types Values Setup enables you to define the values used in the Sales Type. From the Action menu within Sales Type Setup, select Sales Value. The form contains the following fields:
Sales Type Code and Short Heading
These fields are automatically populated from the current Sales Type Setup and cannot be amended.
Value Label
The Value Label to be applied, as defined in Value Labels Setup (VLS).
Value Label Value Type
Depending on the Value Label selected, this field may automatically be completed, or you may have to select the type of the value label. S ee Introducing the Multi-Currency Functionality for more information about currencies. Options are:
  • Without Units - a number without a Unit of Measure attached to it. For example, a percentage.
  • With Units - a number with a Unit of Measure attached to it. For example, a quantity.
  • Corresponds to Base Currency - a number that is the base currency.
  • Corresponds to Transaction Currency - a number that is the transaction currency.
  • Corresponds to Reporting or 2nd Base Currency - a number that is the reporting or 2nd base currency. 
Formula Code
The formula to be used for the value, for example VAT, which has been set up using the Formula Designer user tool. See Formula Designer for more information. If you do not enter a formula the value must be entered at run-time instead of being calculated. For example, a quantity will not normally use a formula.
Note: When setting up formulae, the number of decimal places used can be specified and this number is used when entering values into the value label. Care must be taken when selecting the correct number of decimal places to be used. Problems may occur if a formula returns more decimal places than the currency is expecting. If in doubt, use the Default Currency option when setting up the decimal places in the formula.
Calculation Sequence
If a Formula Code is specified, this field indicates the sequence in which the formula is calculated. For example, 1, 2, 3 etc. If you close and re-enter the form, entries are reordered by this sequence. You can use parallel sequence numbers. That is, more than one value can have the same sequence number. The calculation sequence '0' is intended for values that are entered by the user and do not have a formula attached to them. '0' cannot be used if a formula is attached to the value.
A value must be calculated before it can be used in a formula. If a value is referenced in a formula before it is calculated, an error results when a transaction is entered for this Sales Type. Therefore, its sequence number must be lower than the sequence number of the value with the formula that it uses. For example, you may have three values: Quantity, Unit Price and Net. Quantity is entered by the user; Unit Price has a formula to use a Price Book; and Net has the formula Quantity '*' multiply Net. In this example, the sequence would be as follows:
Value Label
Calculation Sequence
Quantity0
Unit Price1
Net
