How to change "Item Sold by Box" to "Item Sold by Piece" There is a field in Product Code Maintenance that will allow this change. It can only be used on Product Codes with Factor IDs of 02, 07, or 08.
The field appears as follows: Box Qty reflects SQFT/Piece. When this box is checked in Catalog Maintenance, instead of displaying "Catalog Item Sold By Box," the system will display "Catalog Item Sold By Piece." The quantity will also display as follows: SQFT/Piece. This change will flow through to the Quote, Order Entry, Purchasing, Work Order, etc. areas of the system.
If you purchase by the box, but sell by the piece, you can leave the Catalog Item Sold By Box option unchecked, but still enter the square foot per box quantity in the Box Qty field, and the system will display this information during purchasing and receiving, but it will not force a full box quantity sell in the Quote and Order Entry modules. Any quantity listed here will also display in the Results tab of this module, to the left of the View Available Inventory button, when selecting a catalog item.
