On this tab, enter the purchase-related information for the item.
Note This topic documents fields and other elements in this window that either are not self-explanatory or require additional information. End of the note. |
Enter the preferred vendor for the item, or select a vendor from the list. Each time SAP Business One creates a recommendation, it enters the value automatically. Note In the United Kingdom localization, this field is Preferred Supplier. End of the note. |
Enter the catalog number of the item in the default vendor’s catalog. This number is displayed on the purchasing and sales documents. |
Enter the unit of measurement and the item quantity per purchase unit (the item quantity per purchase unit must be greater than zero). You can update the Items per Purchase Unit field, even if the document is entered in SAP Business One; this does not affect the Ordered, Committed, or In Stock quantity of the item. Example You buy a case of soft drinks. There are six bottles (items per purchase unit) in one case. The item that you buy is a bottle but you purchase it only as a case of six bottles. Therefore, the unit of measurement is a case and there are six items per purchase unit. If you buy five cases, you actually buy 30 bottles of the soft drink. In all transactions, "case" is the purchasing unit. And the number of items per purchasing unit is six. You then enter the quantity in purchasing units in the purchase order. End of the example. |
Enter the purchasing packaging unit, which is a multiple of the unit of measurement. In addition, define the quantity per packaging unit. Example You buy containers of soft drink cases, and the container is the purchasing packaging unit. Each container consists of 10 cases, which means that "10" is the quantity per packaging unit. End of the example. |
If you import the purchase item, enter the customs group. This lets you calculate the customs fee. You can select the customs group from the list, or select the Define New option to create a new customs group. Note In the United Kingdom localization, this field is Duty Group. End of the note. |
Note These dimensions refer to the purchasing unit, not the Inventory UoM. End of the note. Enter the dimensions of the purchase item. If you defined the units of measurement when you configured the system, enter the measurements and press TAB; the system automatically enters the measurements of the purchase item. In addition, enter the values for the length, width, and height to calculate the volume of the item. Alternatively, you can enter the volume value without entering the length, width, or height. |
Enter the weight of the item, followed by the weight measure. |
Enter the quantity, which is a multiple of several factors. For example, if you buy a fence, you have to consider its measurement standards. The Factor fields are used as variables, so you can enter the proper values to calculate the appropriate quantity. The default value is one (1). The values that you enter in the item master data appear on marketing documents. |
Select a specific kind of tax to determine which tax is used for country-specific tax determination:

If the item is a fuel, specify its fuel code. |
If the item is a beverage, specify its beverage table code, beverage group code, and beverage brand. There is a hierarchical relationship between the three fields. The beverage table you select decides from what beverage groups you can select, and the beverage group you select in turn decides from what beverage brands you can select. You cannot select a beverage group before you select a beverage table; nor can you select a beverage brand before you select a beverage group. Example
