The responses you enter here (if any) appear as CFO (Customer-Formulated Option) - One of three user-defined fields in which you can specify "cosmetic" information about special-order products such as fabric, grade, and finish. The fields appear in both the Special Order Control Settings and the Vendor Special Order Option Settings. Option prompts in Special Order Entry, prompting you to supply additional information on the special-order product A product whose characteristics you can modify such as color or fabric. STORIS lists these custom options in descriptions for special-order products, allowing you to identify individual products based on their unique characteristics. you are entering in that routine.  You can also enter CFO Option prompts in Special Order Control Settings, however, the prompts you enter here are vendor-specific and override the prompts (if any) that exist in Special Order Control Settings.

Use these fields to collect "cosmetic" information about the product (for example, fabric, grade, finish, dimensions, etc.) for a specific vendor. For example, Vendor A may sell sofas in which case color, fabric, and grade are needed. Vendor B may sell china hutches, in which case wood and trim are needed.

User-Defined Option Prompts

Special Order Field 1, 2, 3Use these fields to provide names (if any) for the user-defined prompts in Special Order Entry. For example, if you want to know the fabric grade for products associated with this vendor, enter GRADE into one of these fields. Then, when using Special Order Entry, the user can enter the grade information into the field whose name you define here. The maximum number of characters for each of these fields is 13. The names you enter here appear on Special Order purchase documents.  

Use Automatic Vendor Model Number

Field 1, 2, 3The three fields at this prompt correspond to the three fields at the Special Order Field 1, 2, 3 prompt. Check the box next to the special order fields (if any) whose contents in Special Order Entry you want to append to creating the vendor model number.

For example, assume you check all three boxes here. If the vendor model number is 123, and YELLOW, LEATHER, and CHERRY appear at the user-defined prompts in Special Order Entry, the system generates the vendor model number as 123-YELLOW-LEATHER-CHERRY. If you check no boxes here, the system does not append any of the fields' contents to the vendor model number.

Show Cost on Entry ScreenSelect (activate) this option to display the costs on the Special Order Entry screen within Sales Order Entry. To suppress cost information, leave this field inactive. Additional cost displays can be dictated within a specific user's Create a User (Staff File) record, Extended Security settings.

Product On-The-Fly Defaults

Serial Number RequiredThis option is used when building special order products on-the-fly Performed simultaneously, in the midst of another routine. For example, creating a new product during sales entry rather than leaving the sales process to create the product in product settings.. Select this option if you want the system to require a serial number to be indicated when special order pieces that are created on-the-fly are removed from inventory.

Commission CategoryThis option is used when building special order products on-the-fly. Enter the preferred default product commission category for special order products. If you do not indicate a commission category, the system will default "Z" into this field. This field is only applicable if processing commission calculations via STORIS' Commission Settings (Commission Matrix) feature.
