Purchasing parameters
Purchasing parameters are related to purchasing and requisitions that must be set for the features of the application to work properly.
Set values for purchasing parameters according to the following table.
Code | Description | Fixed |
---|---|---|
CNVIPUOM | If enabled (ON), the system will look up the iProcure UOM in the EAM Alternate UOM table and uses the associated EAM UOM for that record to populate the UOM on the Part record. If the iProcure UOM is not defined as an Alternate UOM for any UOM in EAM, the system will use the value from iProcure. | OFF |
DEFPOTP | Determines the default line type for purchase orders.
Specify a user status equivalent to the system status of
PS (Stock Parts)
or PD (Direct
Purchase) for the PLTP entity.
The system automatically defaults the line type of purchase orders
to the specified user status. If DEFPOTP is null or if you enter an
invalid value, the system automatically defaults the line type
of purchase orders to the system status of |
No |
EXRTUPDT | Manual exchange rate update. Setting this parameter to YES will enable users to manually enter exchange rate fields. | No |
EXTCHG | Include adjusted charges in the base price. This code
indicates whether the system automatically includes adjusted
charges, such as a discount or an additional charge, when entering
information on the Extra charges/Discounts dialog box. If the value is Y, the system automatically selects Include for all the items on the Extra charges/Discounts dialog box and does not allow you to clear it. If the value is N, the system automatically clears Include for all the items on the Extra charges/Discounts dialog box and does not allow you to select it. If the value is M, the system automatically clears Include for all the items on the Extra charges/Discounts dialog box and enables you to select or clear it as necessary. |
No |
INCREDIT | Updates part price for stock for credit and debit
notes. This code indicates how the system handles updating part
prices for approved credit and debit notes. Valid values are
O (Off),
P (Partial), or
F (Full), with
O being the default value. You
can change this value. If the Value is O, the system does not update part prices upon approval of a credit or debit note. If the Value is P, the system applies the credit amount in the calculation of Average Price for a part upon approval of a credit note. When the credit amount is greater than the value of the part in stock, the system applies a portion of the value of the credit amount, up to the value of the part in stock, in the calculation of the average price. By setting the value to P, the calculation of the average price might result in an average price of 0 for a part, but it also ensures that the average price cannot be less than 0. The remaining value of the credit amount that is not used in the calculation of the average price is stored as a Credit Balance for the part in stock. If you are using LIFO/FIFO as your pricing method, the system applies credit amounts similarly to the manner it does if the setting is P regardless of the setting you specify for this parameter; however, HxGN EAM stores the unused credit amount in theIVL_LOSTCREDIT column of the R5INVOICELINES table, rather than storing the credit
amount as a Credit Balance for the part in stock. If the value is F, the system applies
the credit amount in the calculation of Average Price for a part
upon approval of a credit note when the credit amount is less
than the value of the part in stock. Setting the value to
|
Yes |
INVADAYS | This code indicates the number of days after completion
that invoice allocations can be applied to a work order. Example: 60 |
No |
INVALLOC | Set INVALLOC to YES to track unallocated invoice
differences. Set INVALLOC to NO to apply all invoice differences to
the stock record. Example: NO |
No |
INVDESC | Invoice description. Changing the value does not affect
existing data. Example: Invoice |
No |
INVMETH | This code indicates the default
inventory replenishment method to use for maintaining stock levels.
Valid values are (M ) for Min/Max,
(- ) for Reorder level, or
(+ ) for On demand. The default
setting for this parameter is Reorder level. |
No |
INVUPCAT | This code indicates whether the supplier’s catalog
will be updated upon approval of an invoice. Example: NO |
No |
IPSUPPC | Specify an existing common org that should be used as the Part Org when a new part is created via the iProcure interface. This value will only be used when the IPSUPP install parameter is set to C. | No |
LIMITLEV | Limit level. This code indicates if the system should check the value for orders/requisitions on the header level (H) or line level (L). Changing the value does not affect existing data. | No |
MATCHAPP | Automatic approval of matched
invoices. This code indicates whether the system automatically
approves invoices for which the cost of all invoice lines has been
matched with the cost of the purchase order lines associated with
the invoice lines within range of tolerance specified for Match
Tolerance Absolute or Match Tolerance % on the Organization form. If the value
is set to |
No |
MATCHTOL | Match tolerance. This code indicates the tolerated
difference (in percentage) between the sum of the invoice lines and
the amount specified on the invoice header. Valid values are any
non-negative numbers. Changing the value does not affect existing
data. Note: The MATCHTOL
installation parameter is no longer active, because users no
longer enter a voucher total. Instead, the voucher total is now
calculated based on the total invoice costs.
Example: 0 |
No |
POCURR | This code indicates whether the system allows
multi-currency order lines. Example: YES |
No |
PORDDESC | Purchase order description. Changing the value does
not affect existing data. Example: Order |
No |
RCPTCURR | This code indicates which exchange rate the system
uses for receipt or return of goods. PO = exchange rate of purchase order; RCPT = the active exchange at time of
receipt/return transaction approval. Example: PO |
No |
