UT1 Explanations

Below are the explanations of the UT1 field from the inventory add/edit/delete:

SCRAP/RECYCLING CODE – If the item is to be used as a semi-automatic Scrap/Recycling Code, enter either a “$” or “%” and make an entry in the Price 1 field. For example: For a $1.00 scrap fee item, enter “1.00” in the Price 1 field and “$” in the Scrap/Recycle field. For a 1% scrap fee item, enter “1.00” in the Price 1 field and “%” in the Scrap/Recycle field. When these items are added to an invoice immediately after the entry of a tire item via a tire package, they will calculate the appropriate scrap/recycle fee based on information captured while entering the line item immediately above. (They do NOT calculate automatically if they are added manually as an individual line item.)

COMMENT ITEM – If an item is marked as a COMMENT ITEM, a comment can be entered in the size and description fields. All other line entries are skipped. Any cost/price entered on the Cost/Price tab is ignored.

KIT TOTALER – The invoice printing program looks at each line of an invoice to see if it is a kit LINE or a kit TOTALER. A kit LINE is any line item on the invoice with a price code of “K”. A kit TOTALER is any line item on the invoice with the Utility field flagged with the letter “K”. Whenever the invoice printing program encounters a line item with a price code of “K”, it adds the line item amount to the other “K” items instead of printing each individual line item amount on the invoice. Line item totals for the “K” items are accumulated until the printing program encounters a line item where the Utility field is flagged with a “K” signifying a KIT TOTALER. When a KIT TOTALER line is encountered, the invoice printing program prints the total amount accumulated for all of the “K” line items as one single total.

NOT SUBJECT TO SCRAP – An item marked “N” will not be subject to scrap fees during invoicing. If you know that an item is not subject to scrap fees when you set up the item, go ahead and mark it “N”. Labor items, for example, would not normally be subject to scrap fees.

SUBJECT TO SCRAP – An item marked “S” will allow any attached package to automatically default to matching qty sold during invoicing. For example, tires are usually marked as Subject To Scrap and therefore, when 4 tires are sold, the attached package with the valve stems, scrap fees, etc. will also automatically default to a matching qty of 4 (if the items on the package as set up with the appropriate UT code). If you know an item is subject to scrap when you set up the item, go ahead and mark it “S”.
