CP0800 Customer Order Processing COP Setup

Utilities Setup

COP Setup

Application Overview

 

COP Setup allows you to customize the package to some degree.  You will run this application once while you are converting from your former Order Processing system.  You will rarely need to refer to it thereafter.

 

You will be allowed to specify such things as the starting order number, profit center usage, and the taxable status of freight and miscellaneous charges.  You will also determine whether you wish to print your company name on invoices, and if statements and invoices will print on laser forms.

 

The responses you provide here will affect processing in a large number of programs, so consider them carefully.  Additionally, review the features and options available in Global Setup.

 

Run Instructions

 

Select COP Setup from the pull down Util_setup window.  The following screen will then be displayed:

 

 

COP Setup Entry Screen

 

 

 The following options are available:

    • Select the desired mode from the COP Setup menu bar.
    • Enter the data requested on the screen.
    • If this is the first time that you have run COP Setup, then the program will ask you to enter the data for each of the fields on the screen.  If this program has been run previously, the data entered at that time will be displayed and may be changed.

     

    To return to the menu bar, press the ESC or F10 key. To leave this application, press X for EXIT when positioned at the menu bar.

    O = Order Profit Centers

    P = Product Category Profit Centers

    If O is entered, the profit center, and department (if applicable), which is the second and third part of account number, will be entered for the order as a whole.  This is done if you wish to track revenue by sales locations rather than by product category.

    If P is entered, the profit center may be different for each line item on the order as it will be associated with the product category of each item.

    F   =  Fully Taxable

    P   =  Partially Taxable

    Misc Charges Tax Status (continued)

    Enter an N if miscellaneous charges are not taxable in your state.  Enter an F if they are taxable.  If P is entered, a portion of the miscellaneous charges will be taxed, depending on the ratio of taxable sale amount to non‑taxable sale amount, e.g., if the invoice shows a sale amount of $100.00, $20.00 of which is non‑taxable, then 80% of the miscellaneous charges would be taxed.

    Default is N.

    N = Not Taxable

    F = Fully Taxable

    Default is N.

    5. Valid Price Code Types

    8 one‑digit numeric entries.  9 not allowed (9).

    The entries made here determine which price code types are used and the order which the package will check them when figuring an item's price.  See Pricing Code File Maintenance for more data on price codes.

    If you are using more than one price code type, you will need to make a decision about the order in which the codes are checked when prices are being ascertained in Order Entry.  If you are using negotiated prices (Type 1) you will want this to appear first to avoid the possibility of the customer being charged a different price from that which was agreed upon.

    Price code types not specified here will not be recognized any­where in the package.
