Lost Sales Purchase Orders Program Enhancements

In the 7.8.0 FACTS release, existing Lost Sales functionality was enhanced so that from Purchase Order Entry, you can select Options>Lost Sales Entry, if the Lost Sales checkbox is selected on the Use Features tab of SO Static Control F/M (SOF930).  

Purchase Order Entry

The Purchase Order Entry program now has a menu option to access Lost Sales Entry if the Lost Sales checkbox is selected on the Use Features tab of SO Static Control F/M (SOF930). You can right-click to access Lost Sale Entry from the entry screen, providing you have the proper security and the system has Lost Sale ability enabled in SO Static Control F/M. The Lost Sale Entry option can be triggered automatically. If you reset the ordered quantity from the original order quantity entered, but the shipped, backordered and committed quantities do not equal the new order quantity, the program prompts you to indicate whether to post the difference (original order quantity minus new reset order quantity) to lost sales. Select R-Review to display the Lost Sales Entry (SOC320) screen and modify the lost sale date and update usage, quantity, price, cost, reason, and/or notes.  Note that you must have the proper security code clearance as entered for SO Static Control F/M (SOF930) to select the R-Review option and display this program. If a password is required for SOF930 then the password prompt will display before allowing you to continue. If you select Cancel on the password prompt, a lost sale will automatically be recorded.  Use the Skip button to not record the lost sale. When you select Save, the system records the lost sale.  The “lost sale reason code” value set in SO Static Control F/M displays as the default.  Reason codes are created and maintained in the Lost Sales F/M (Sales Orders>File Maintenances>Lost Sales Reason Code F/M).
