Recording Detail Lot Product Enhancements

Use the Lot Cost Adders screen to record quality and value enhancements that have been added to a product. For example, if you have processed bolts to make them rust-resistant, record this enhancement in the Lot Cost Adders screen.

The system displays any value enhancements in the Cost Adders field on the Detail Lot Maintenance screen so you can keep the appraised value current for the detail lot.

To record an enhancement for a detail lot:

From the Whse Mgt menu, select Detail Lot Maintenance to display the Detail Lot Maintenance screen.
In the Prd field, enter the detail lot product you want to edit.
In the ID field, enter the detail lot for which you want to record enhancements.
In the Br field, enter the branch to which the detail lot belongs.

The system displays the current data for the selected detail lot.

Use the Cost Adders hot key to display the Lot Cost Adders screen.
In the Date field, enter the date the product quality enhancement was made. Enter today's date, or a past date.
In the Codes field, press F10 and select an enhancement code.

Note: Enhancement Codes are defined in the Valid Detail Lot Cost Adder Codes control maintenance record.

The system populates the description of the code in the Description field.

In the Quantity field, enter the quantity of the detail lot that received the enhancement.

For example, you have a detail lot of 100 bolts. You are adding rust proofing to 10 of these bolts. When you open the Lot Cost Adders screen, the Quantity field displays 100. You would then change the quantity to 10, to represent the bolts that received the rust proofing.

In the Amount field, enter the cost of the enhancement per unit.

The system populates the UM field with the unit of measure data set in Product Maintenance.

Press Esc to save the enhancement record and to return to the Detail Lot Maintenance screen.
In the Cost Adder field, view the enhancement cost per unit.
In the App Value field, adjust the appraisal value, if necessary.
Press Esc to save the changes and close the screen.
