3 = True random length items keeping track of
total footage, not how many pieces of 4' and 8'.
Tally will call for the number of pieces and
length. Random length molding would be
considered a type 3 item.
For example: Item 53011100 - 3 1/2" Base
Molding--controlled by units (footage)
Sold in Point of Sale.
Tally = 30/8 40/12 40/16
Total Footage - 1,360 (would be reduced from
quantity on hand)
30 x 8 =
40 x 12 =
40 x 16 =
4 = Random length and random width. Tally at
POS will call for the width, number of pieces,
and length.
5 = Dimensions - random length. Tally at POS
will call for the number of pieces and length.
An example of this item type would be oak
lumber which comes in varying thicknesses
(5/4 or 4/4).
6 = Square footage. Enter the width and length
for the tally at POS.
7 = Non-inventory items. Labor, treating
expenses, and overhead would be examples of
type 7 items. Only MTD and YTD sales and
cost will be updated to the Totals File and
General Ledger. No dollar value is
maintained in the inventory.
1. The inventory system can handle up to 99 price
levels for an inventory item. Normal price levels
are numbered 1-9. Special and less common price
levels are numbered 10-99 and are set up in a
price matrix. Even though there are 9 regular
price levels, you do not have to use all 9 levels. In
fact, 2 or 3 price levels are usually adequate for
most systems. The three main components of
pricing are:
(1) Price Basis
(2) List/Base
(3) Price Adjustment Levels 1-9
