Entering Multiple Dimensions Within a Sales Order or Quote

Entering Multiple Dimensions Within a Sales Order or Quote

Complete the following configuration steps before continuing with data entry:

  • Setup inventory formulas (also labeled Parts Calculate) for individual components within an item or setup stored formulas: review the Formula Setup section

  • Configure Inventory settings for the finished good item: review the Inventory Settings section

Open the sales order dialog. Click on the Sales > Invoices and SOs from the main EBMS menu to open the following dialog:

Note the Feet and Inches columns present in the sales order when entering a linear dimension item onto an invoice. Enter the quantity of items being ordered into the Ordered column as shown above. Enter the length in feet plus inches into the Feet and Inches columns. If a value of 12 or higher is entering into the Inches column, EBMS will automatically divide by 12 and put the result into the Feet column; the remainder will be put into the Inches column.

The same additional dimension columns are available within the proposal dialog of EBMS.

Review the Purchasing Items with Multiple Dimensions section to use these dimensional columns to purchase items with multiple dimensions.
