Assigning ABC Extensions to Sales Transactions

In Sales Order Entry, you can specify a designated ABC extension on the Additional Header Information screen when you enter a transaction. When you do this, the system uses that extension each time it logs activities for the transaction. For example, when you enter a return transaction, receive the products back into the warehouse, perform a quality inspection, and put the products back on the shelves, the system records each time to use the specified extension to assign the costs.

Note: Before you can assign an auto group extension to a transaction, you must define the extension. Also, for the ABC program to select activities with an extension, you must assign the extension to activity codes.

To assign an ABC extension to a sales transaction:

  1. From the Orders menu, select Sales Order Entry to display the Sales Order Entry Body screen.

  2. Display or enter a sales transaction.

  3. Use the Header hot key to display the Sales Order Entry Header screen.

  4. Use the Add'l hot key and then the Add'l Header Info hot key to display the Additional Header Information screen.

  5. In the ABC Order Extension field, select the extension to use for logging changes, deletions, and returned goods for this transaction.

  6. Press Esc to save the information and exit the screen.
