Parts Quote Lines

...

  2. Add labour costs and miscellaneous costs.
  3. Add more lines as required.

Parts Quote Line Entry Warnings

...

As soon as the part numbers have been entered they are validated. Messages will appear below each line giving details about the part.

In the example above the first line gives a warning that the packing quantity for the part is 200 items. The quantity will not be rounded to the packing quantity here, but when the quote is selected to be converted to an order, the rounding will occur. Then the order created for this quote will have the packing quantity for that part.

The second line shows a part that does not allow for returns if ordered wrongly. Then an error follows that this part is discontinued and cannot be ordered. This stops the quote from being completed if this isn't addressed. When the user clicks on complete, an error message will appear at the top informing the user that he must solve this issue before the quote can be saved.

The third line is for a part that has been superseded and in the message the number of the part that will be delivered is shown. Any general warnings that are shown here apply to the part number that will be delivered, not the superseded part. If any other messages are shown for superseded parts, they are always valid for the part that will be delivered.
The fourth line gives a warning 'No returns if ordered wrongly'.
