This chapter describes enhancements made to for Collar Prices and Replants.
Collar Prices checks prices entered on sales transactions against an acceptable range. If the entered price falls outside the range the user will be warned or stopped completely depending on a companywide setting.
In the Seed industry, it is common that seed may get planted, but the seed does not germinate or grow for a while and is destroyed. In those cases, Replant seed is sold to the grower, sometimes at a reduced price to replace the initial seed and used for a second planting. This chapter describes enhancements made to allow the user to flag sales transactions as RePlant. Once flagged, certain sales reports can be run to include or exclude the replant seed sales depending on the reporting objective.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Changes to Sales Setup

  1. Open Sales Setup

(Microsoft Dynamics GP>Tools>Setup>Cinch Sales>Sales Setup)


  1. Enter a Price Warning Settings:

    1. Percent of Price is used to obtain the Price range that is acceptable (both the acceptable max price and the acceptable minimum price). If 10% is used the Price entered must fall between 90% and 110% of the Price on the Price Level or the applicable Extended Price Sheet, based on whether Dynamics GP Extended Pricing is enabled.

    2. Warning Level, the type of warning the user will receive if the Unit Price entered is not within the Price range.

      1. If a Percent of Price is entered the user will be required to select a Warning Level. The warning options are:

        1. N/A (Not applicable), when selected the warning will be disabled. The user will not be warned if the price does not fall within the acceptable range. N/A is the default value.

        2. Warn, when selected the user will be warned that price does not fall within the acceptable range but user is allowed to continue.

        3. Not Allow, when selected the user will be warned that price does not fall within the acceptable range and not allowed to continue until a Price entered is within the acceptable Price range.

    3. Validation will use the following criteria to determine if an acceptable price is entered.

      1. When Standard Pricing is enabled:

        1. Item

        2. Unit of Measure - The Unit of Measure entered will be used.

        3. Currency ID – The system will check if a Functional Currency is set up and if so use the global Functional Currency ID for the validation.

        4. Quantity – The system will use the Quantity of 1 to determine the Price Level to use for determining the Unit Price.

        5. Price Level – If the Price level does not exist for the item or the transaction line, no price warning validation will be performed. System will assume a valid price in this case.

      2. When Extended Pricing is enabled:

        1. Document Date, will be compared to the Price Sheet Date Range to determine the Price to use.

        2. Item

        3. Quantity – The system will use the Quantity to determine the Price Sheet Quantity Price break Unit Price to use.

        4. If an item has no valid price sheets attached no price warning validation will be performed. System will assume a valid price in this case.

    4. The price validation (validation that the price entered falls between the acceptable price range) will take place when the following occurs:

      1. When the user manually enters a price in the Unit Price field.

      2. When the user tabs to a new line. This will validate any price changes that have taken place if for example the user changes the Price Unit of Measure or enters a Line Extension. However, this validation will not take place in the following instances:

        1. A Contract has been assigned.

        2. Prepay has been applied.

      3. After the user selects a Contract and then goes back and manually changes the Unit Price the system will validate the manually entered Unit Price even though a Contract has been selected or Prepay has been applied. So any time the user manually enters a price the validation will take place.

      4. After the user applies a Prepay and then goes back and manually changes the Unit Price the Prepay is unapplied and the price entered will be validated against the default price level on the customer.

      5. If the user enters the Extension Price (which is typically calculated as Qty x Price), the system calculates the per unit price. The calculated price will be compared to the acceptable price range as if user had entered it.

    5. Validation will take place in the following screens:

      1. Bookings Entry

      2. Sales Order Entry

      3. Counter Sales Entry

      4. Invoice Maintenance

      5. Sales Shipment Invoicing

      6. Sales Contract Entry, since a Sales Contract Entry does not have a price level attached, the system will get the default price level from the customer master to use in the price validation.

      7. Prepay Entry

      8. Prepay Transfer

    6. This feature will not affect the Batch Sales Edit List report warning level.

  2. Mark the Suppress Hazmat Auto Print to prevent the Hazmat document from automatically printing when a Sales Order or Counter Sales is Invoiced or when the Invoice is printed from Invoice Maintenance.

    1. When the user manually enters a price in the Unit Price field.

    2. When the user tabs to a new line. This will validate any price changes that have taken place if for example the user changes the Price Unit of Measure or enters a Line Extension.
