This represents the main screen which is used when either adding a new volume adjustment component or when updating an existing volume adjustment component.
Component Name - This is a required field. It represents the name to use for the component.
System Generated (checkbox) - If checked, then this component is automatically generated by the system (versus being incorporated manually within a volume adjustment formula).
Available (checkbox) - If checked, then active.
Notes - This is required. This area provides a place to define the intentions of the volume adjustment component.
Formula Options Available (drop down list box) - This indicates what arithmetic options are available with this component when used in a volume adjustment formula.
| • | All = "+" or "-" or "*" or "/" |
| • | "+" |
| • | "-" |
| • | "*" |
| • | "/" |
Range From - This represents a low end number, which will be used for editing the values that are setup. For example, if a 3 is placed here, then when someone setups a formula they will not be allowed to specify a value under 3 for this item.
Range Thru - This represents a high end number, which will be used for editing the values that are setup. For example, if a 10 is placed here, then when someone setups a formula they will not be allowed to specify a value over 10 for this item.
Entry Type (pulldown box) - This indicates the 'type of entry' which is expected for the volume adjustment rate. The possible values are below:
| • | Numeric - use this when specifying a flat number in a formula and when you do not wish to reference a price/cost rate index table. |
| • | Daily Index - use this to ensure that a daily price/cost index is specified on the volume adjustment formulas. |
| • | Monthly Index - use this to ensure that a monthly price/cost index is specified on the volume adjustment formulas. |
| • | Weekly Index - use this to ensure that a weekly price/cost index is specified on the volume adjustment formulas. |
Use This Price/Cost Index (pulldown box) - If the entry type specified is for some sort of index (monthly, daily or weekly) then this pulldown box enables you to select the price point (usually mid-point is the price point populated when only a single rate is table index specified).
