Document Type and Summary Type Fields
Item/Service Type

Choose one of the following options:

  • Item – to create a purchasing document for items defined in the Inventory module.

  • Service – to create a purchasing document for a service, such as a one-time consultation, that has not been defined as an Item in SAP Business One.

    The table view on this tab is different for each option.

Including both items and services in the same sales document is not possible. However, you can define the respective services as items in SAP Business One. You then can enter the related items and services in one document along with their respective prices and quantities. It is possible to run the usual sales analysis and reports on these services.

Summary Type

Choose one of the following types:

  • No Summary – the default value for this field.

  • By Documents – summarizes rows with the same base documents into one row that displays the base document number and reference. If an item appears in the table more than once and has the same price and description each time, it will be summarized to one row. This option is available only for documents of the type Item and when you copy rows from base documents.

  • By Items – summarizes several item rows with the same item into one row. However, this is possible only when these item rows have the same parameters (for example, price, description, and warehouse). This option is available only for documents of the type Item.

Table View for Document Type Item
Quantity

Quantity that you want to sell to the customer based on the item’s sales unit of measure, as defined on the Sales Data tab in the Item Master Data window. The default value is 1.

If the sales unit of measure is defined as more than one item, the actual item quantity is displayed in the Qty (Inventory UoM) field, which is the value displayed in the Quantity field multiplied by Items Per Unit.

Example Example

Quantity x Items per Unit = Qty (Inventory UoM).

End of the example.

You can update the quantity in a sales order or purchase order.

Delivered

Delivered quantity of the item that has already been delivered to the customer.

Qty to Ship

Displays quantity still to be shipped from the line after the current delivery.

Ordered

Displays the original ordered quantity.

Unit Price

Item price from the default price list, before a discount.

  • If the value specified in the Inventory UoM field is Yes, the price is the Unit Price.

  • If the value specified in the Inventory UoM field is No, the price is the Unit Price x Items per Unit.

Example Example

If the Unit Price is $10 as defined in the Item Master Data window, and the Items per Unit value is 5, the Unit Price in the purchasing document is $50.

End of the example.

Press CTRL+TAB to view the Last Prices Report.

Inventory UoM

Define whether the quantity displayed in the Items per Unit field is a single item unit:

  • No - default value; if you specified a sales unit of measure for the item as defined on the Sales Data tab in the Item Master Data window that is different than 1, the number of item units issued by the warehouse equals the number specified in the Quantity field, multiplied by the Items per Unit value.

    Example Example

    Quantity x Items per Unit = Qty (Inventory UoM).

    End of the example.
  • Yes - the number of item units issued from the warehouse equals the number specified in the Quantity or Qty (Inventory UoM) field. The Items per Unit value is one.

    Example Example

    Quantity x 1 (Items per Unit) = Qty (Inventory UoM).

    End of the example.
UoM Name

When a UoM code is specified, SAP Business One takes the corresponding UoM name from the UoM setup.

You can edit this field only when the UoM group of an item is Manual.

Items per Unit

The number of items specified for the selected UoM as defined on the Sales Data tab in the Item Master Data window. The number must be greater than zero.

You can edit this field when the UoM group for an item is Manual. When inventory transactions are created from the document, the Items per Unit value from the document is used, not the value from the Item Master Data window.

Note Note

TheItems per Unit field cannot be edited in the following situations:

  • The UoM group of an item is not Manual.

  • A document is based on another document.

  • Rows in a document are partially open, for example, when some of the items have been copied to another document.

End of the note.
Without Qty Posting

Indicates that there is no inventory movement involved, that is, the credit memo does not affect the inventory quantity of the item.

Example Example

You delivered items to a customer, but some items were broken during shipment. Since the customer is asking for a return of the payment, you create a credit memo and, by choosing this checkbox, indicate that there is no return of goods.

End of the example.

The field is available only in the following cases:

  • A/R credit memos not based on other documents or

  • A/R credit memos based on an A/R invoice or

  • A/R credit memos based on an A/R reserve invoice, for which items have been delivered, and

  • if non-drop-ship warehouses are used

Qty (Inventory UoM)

The total quantity (per row), calculated as follows:

Quantity x Items per Unit = Qty (Inventory UoM)

Example Example

  • Quantity is 2.

Total (LC)

Displays the total amount of the row in the relevant currency. The amount is calculated as follows: Total = Unit Price x Quantity x Discount.

Note Note

The following applies to companies that use an original version of SAP Business One prior to SAP Business One 2007 A or 2007 B and upgraded to SAP Business One 8.8 directly or upgraded to SAP Business One 2007 A or 2007 B and then to SAP Business One 8.8.

The calculation method depends on whether you have selected the parameter Calculate the Row Total using the Unit Price (on the General tab in   Administration   System Initialization   Document Settings   window).

  • Selected: Unit Price x Discount x Quantity

  • Not selected:Price after Discount x Quantity

Example:

The Unit Price of Item A is 28.07

The Discount is 8%

The Quantity is 50 items

Parameter: Calculate the Row Total using the Unit Price

Calculation of total row amount

Selected

Total = Unit Price x Quantity x Discount = 28.07 x 50 x 0.92 = 1291.22

Not selected

Price after Discount = Unit Price x Discount = 28.07 x 0.92 = 25.82 (the price was rounded from 25.8244)

Total = Price after Discount x Quantity = 25.82 x 50 = 1291

End of the note.
