For example if Booking NL10890 is tied to Prepayment NL1450, The quantity booked in the NL10890 document will be ignored EVEN IF the Quantities between the booking and the prepayment do not match. The assumption is, if a customer only prepays part of a booking, that booking will be modified by the user so that one booking will be for the part prepaid, and another booking would be created for the part of the booking that was not prepaid. The prepaid booking will be linked to the prepay, so the inventory will be positioned as prepaid. The non-prepaid booking will NOT be linked to a prepay, so that booking will show in the Booked position line.

  8. Tax Schedule ID, will default from Customer Maintenance, but can be changed.
  9. Tax Amount, when the Prepay Setup Option, Prepay Taxes is marked, will be calculated using the sales tax engine as follows:
    • Prepay Type must be Item or Deposit.
    • Default Ship To on Customer Maintenance will determine which customer address will be used.
    • Shipping Method on the Customer Address Maintenance:
      • If selected Ship Method has Pickup marked, the tax schedule from the Branch Maintenance Main Inventory Site will be used in determining which tax details will be used in the calculation.

COA Report

The following describes the Certificate of Analysis report that can be emailed or printed.

  1. The system will print all the Analysis ID's that have a result entered. If no result has been entered, then the Analysis ID will not print.
  2. If a customer is not setup to print the specification, then the "Specification Max and Min" will not be displayed.
  3. The calculation to determine if a COA is out of spec is as follows:
    • Basic Rule - In order to pass, the COA results must fall within the range of all specifications from the Customer Item Specification (or Item Specification if no Customer Item Specification). The following further explains this rule
      • System will assume that if a Customer Item Specification and an Item Specification are not entered, the COA passes.
      • If a COA result is entered, but it is not in the customer item specification (or item specification) it will be ignored for pass/fail purposes.
      • System will follow the hierarchy of looking at the Customer Item Specification first, then the Item Specification. If both exist, the COA need only pass the Customer Item specification. That is, the Customer Item Specification overrules the Item specification, they are not combined.
      • If customer or customer item specification calls for an analysis that has not been entered, the COA will fail.
    • Pass/Fail Rules:
      • If the Customer Item Specification exists, then all COA results must:
        • Be entered, a specification where a test result is not entered in COA entry is assumed to fail.
        • Be between the Min and Max values of the Customer Item Specification.
        • Pass Or Fail, the Item Specification will not be checked if a Customer Item Specification exists.
      • If the Customer Item Specification does not exit, then check for Item Specification:
        • If an Item Specification does not exists, then pass.
        • If an Item Specification does exists then all COA results must:
          • Be entered, a specification where a test result is not entered in COA entry is assumed to fail.
          • Be between the Min and Max values of the Item Specification.

Chapter 11:PostingD2HML|C1H Manual

Posting

This chapter contains information on how to post activity. Posting within CINCH makes the transactions you've entered part of your company's permanent records. Until they are posted, transactions can be changed or deleted. Once they have been posted, they cannot be changed in any way, though the user can enter transactions to correct errors.
CINCH uses three levels of posting:
Transaction-level Posting – This type of posting (sometimes called "real-time" posting) allows the user to enter and post transactions without ever having to create a batch. Sales and inventory information will be up to date when posting using this method, because transactions are posted or deleted immediately.
Transaction-level posting is optional and can be selected in the Extensions Setup window for some modules and Microsoft Dynamics GP's Posting Setup window for others. If the system has been set up to allow transaction-level posting, the user will be able to enter and post transactions directly. If the system doesn't allow individual transaction entry, the user will need to create a batch before saving the transactions.
Batch-level Posting – This type of posting allows the user to post one batch at a time from either the Batch Entry window or the Sales Batch Entry window.

Typically this occurs when a customer orders a quantity that fills one sales contract (at one price) and the remainder goes on a line tied to a different sales contract (at a different price). If the fulfilled Item ID exists on more than one line of the sales order, the system will take a FIFO approach, it will take the total fulfilled quantity and fill the first line with the quantity ordered, then go to the next line (with the designated item) and fulfill that one with the ordered quantity, and so on, until the last line that will be fulfilled with whatever is left.

Processing AgWorks Assembly Items


  1. AgWorks Assembly products will need to be cross referenced to a Cinch Item (AgWorks Item Entry), in order to support deliveries taken from stock and returns.
    • System will import the cross referenced Assembly Item and the Assembly Components.
    • The GL Distributions will be based on the AgWorks Setup Options, SB Dist setting, Component Items or the Composite Item (Assembly Item).
  2. Assembly Items, the integration will treat the order like a Short Blend order. The difference will be that the Assembly Item will be the "blend item" instead of the "blend item" specified in Sales Setup. AgWorks record types with Assembly Items are:
    • Blend Order with Assembly Item
      • Inventory will be relieved based on the components.
    • Delivery Ticket from AgScale
      • Inventory will be relieved based on the components.
    • Delivery Ticket From Stock
      • Inventory will be relieved based on the Assembly Item.
    • Delivery Ticket Not From Stock
      • Inventory will be relieved based on the component items.
  3. Assembly Pricing Rules:
    • Assembly item priced in AgWorks:
      • The Assembly Item will be imported with the AgWorks price.
      • The Assembly components will be imported without a price.
      • Within Shipment Invoicing when a Price line is selected it will roll down to price the Component items based on qty/price of Assembly Item.
      • If imported directly to Invoice Maintenance or Counter Sales the system will automatically roll down to price the Component items based on qty/price of Assembly Item similar to Shipment Invoicing/Price Lines.
    • Assembly item not priced in AgWorks
      • Both the Assembly Item and Assembly components will be imported without a price.
      • Within Shipment Invoicing when a Price line is selected all items, Assembly and Component will be populated with the Cinch\GP price.
        • However, when processed it will roll up the component qty/price and override the Assembly Item price.
        • The component items MUST be priced in the Cinch system in order for the pricing formulation to take place.
      • If imported directly to Invoice Maintenance or Counter Sales the system will automatically roll down to price the Component items based on qty/price of Assembly Item similar to Shipment Invoicing/Price Lines.
    • Shipment Invoicing Pricing note:
      • If an Assembly Item or a Component Item is selected in Shipment Invoicing, all items of a blend/assembly item to be selected.
        • If none of the component items are priced, and the assembly item is priced, the components will be priced when selected.
        • If one or more of the components have been manually priced, the automatic component price formulation will not run. That is, when the component prices are adjusted based on the Assembly price.
  4. The Item Extension Maintenance, Include in Fertilizer Blend check box, determines if the item will be used in calculating the Assembly Item price when Customer Extensions Maintenance, Assembly Short checkbox is selected.

  • If a Return occurs on a deferred invoice the Deferred Statement will reflect the Return and will remain on the report. If the Return is applied to a document number at Return entry the description will reflect it was a Deferred apply rather than Return – Credit.
  • If a Prepayment is applied to a deferred invoice the Deferred Statement will also reflect the Prepayment on the report.
  • If a Credit Memo or Write Off is applied to a deferred invoice the Deferred Statement will also reflect the Write Off on the report.
  • All deferred documents will remain on the report until the due date no longer qualifies it as a deferred document.
