Overview of Inventory File entrée.DOT Information

•Dot Item Type

This field allows you to change how the item is sold in entrée. Available choices are Special Order, Drop Ship and Normal.

 

▪This value can only be changed if there are no sales of the item in the current period.

▪Items that are defined as Special Order or Drop Ship are forced to be a “non stock item” (the Stock Item field on the Inventory tab will be unchecked and disabled)

▪Items that are defined as Special Order or Drop Ship will not be able to be tracked by lot. (the Track by Lot field on the Inventory tab will be unchecked and disabled).

•Lead Time

This field allows the default lead time for the Dot Foods special order or drop ship item to be overridden on a per item basis. This field is not enabled for “Normal” Dot Foods catalog items.

 

•Selling UOM

This field is used to assist in the purchasing process for “normal” Dot Foods catalog items. For most items it is fine to leave this field set to the default value ‘CASE’. However if you do not sell the item in the same manner that it is purchased from Dot Foods you will want to adjust this field to how you sell the item. Available choices are as follows:

 

▪CASE: The item is sold the same way that it is purchased.

▪PC: The item is purchased by the case, but only sold as individual pieces.

▪LB: The item is purchased by the case, but sold by the pound.

 

•Include in Export to entrée.DSR

This field is used to override whether or not this item should be included when exporting inventory data to entrée.DSR. This option is only enabled for Dot Foods catalog items that are defined as Special Order or Drop Ship.
