entrée System Options for EOP

There are system options that can be set in the main entrée system that will impact how EOP works. The options are listed below.

 

entrée V3 Use menu path: System > System Preferences > System Options tab.

 

entrée V4 SQL Go to the System ribbon menu > System Preferences > System Options tab.

 

Option # 171 -  Calculate Gross Profit in Invoicing and Inventory Maint. using Landed Cost

When active, the Gross Profit Dollars and Percentage displayed in Invoicing  as well as the "Margin %" value displayed for Level Pricing on the "Cost/Price" tab of Inventory File Maintenance will be calculated using Landed Cost instead of Base Cost. This option is automatically set and maintained based on the system options setting in the main entrée system.

 

Prior to the entrée 3.5.15 release this option was titled "Calculate Gross Profit in Create/Change Invoice using Landed Cost" and only applied to Invoicing.

 

Option # 172 - Allow a promotion to be applied to a break price

The setting for this option is automatically based on the current setting in entrée. Normally the entrée application treats Promotions and Break Prices as having similar, but different, purposes and so both can be applied to the same invoice line item.

 

Some distributors view BOTH features as being "promotions" and therefore do not want both to be applied to the same invoice line item. Disabling this option means that, for any item which is currently assigned a Break Price, no Promotions will be applied.

Option # 180 -  Invoicing deducts billback amount when calculating Gross Profit

The calculation of Gross Profit in the Invoicing system is normally done very simply since it is only intended to provide a rough indication of the profitability of a sale. As a result the calculation is just sale amount less Base Cost.

 

Since vendor billbacks can represent a significant part of a distributor's profit on an item (perhaps even ALL of the profit), we have added this option so that the calculation of Gross Profit accounts for the billback amount. You must be using Base Cost as the basis for your Gross Profit calculations in order for this setting to be effective (there is a "per user" setting which allows Gross Profit to be calculated using Landed Cost as the basis).

 

This option was added to ensure that the correct GP information was used when viewing printed invoice information from any of the sales reporting features in EOP. It has not been integrated into the GP estimation calculation when placing orders. This option is automatically set and maintained based on the system options setting in the main entrée system.

This option provides the ability to control which salesperson gets assigned to orders placed through both entrée.NET and the Electronic Order Pad.

 

Activating this option will change the order entry process so that the Salesperson ID of the person entering the order will be assigned to that order. The normal behavior of the system is to always assign the salesperson according to the salesperson assigned to the customer in Customer File Maintenance.
