About the Furniture Calculated Load Factor Feature

Using the Calculated Load Factor Feature

After you set up this feature, you can begin using load factor items in Order Entry.

1. Go to the Order Entry window and begin placing the furniture order in the normal manner.

2. In the Item Detail tab, place the load factor item on the quote or ticket.

3. When you click the Order Totals tab, the system displays the Add Load Factor Line Item prompt.

4. Click Yes to place the load factor item on the ticket or quote.

5. Complete the order in the normal manner.

The system calculates the percentage for the load factor item according to the following:

• The percentage set for the vendor alias in the Load Factor Pct box in the Change Alias Information dialog box, if any.

• The percentage set for the customer in the Load Factor box in the Customer Order Entry tab.

• The percentage set in the Global Load Factor Pct box in the Furniture Parameters window, if any.

Once the resulting percentage is found, it is multiplied by the order’s extended dollar amount. The system also updates the P-GLOBAL and P-LINE files with the load factor information.
