Supply an incremented sales order number?

If this feature is set, moving the keyboards caret out of the Order No field at the top of a Sales Order document will result in the allocation and incrementation of a system wide next order number. When this feature is not set, the operator must provide a non-blank Order No from the keyboard to start a new Sales Order.

Recover WIP at Work Order to Invoice processing?

This feature must only be used in conjunction with the Manufacturing Work Orders feature below. When Auto WIP Recover is set the Cost of Sales posting for a Work Order confirmed for a Time And Materials Sales Order will be generated by taking the balance of the Job corresponding to the Work Order No, debiting the Cost of Sales account with this value, and crediting the Job account reducing the Work In Progress balance of this job to zero.

This behaviour is appropriate in situations where the product(s) to be sold are presented on the sales order as if they were and Inventory/Stock items, but they are actually manufactured to order, and costs accrued under a job number.

Description Relation.

Provide for the 40 character Product Description field to be established in the data-base as a key, implementing a homomorphic relation between the Product Code and the Description. This permits Sales Orders and Purchase Orders to be created using the product description as a search key as well as the primary code for the product.

The relation should be maintained dynamically by the Stock Account document as new products are added or changes made to existing products.

A Utility function Refurbish Description Relation is provided to allow the initial creation of a relation if this feature is turned on after a data-base has been in operation without it, or in general to guarantee the integrity of the Description Relation.

Skip Work Order Phase.

This feature provides for the elimination of the LILAC 3 Work Order concept from Sales Order processing and Invoicing.

In simpler wholesale or retail trading situations, where a Work Order or Picking Slip concept is not required the "normal" three phase order processing sequence provided by LILAC 3 is replaced by a simpler 2 phase procedure - i.e. Sales Order and Invoice.

A Direct Cost account in the TRADING ledger called ROUNDING is automatically debited or credited with the residual amounts.
