SKU Element for Order Entry Filtering (F40)

Purpose: Use this screen to define the SKU element used to filter the matching item coordinates that display in order entry.

Number field: Enter the number of the SKU element you are using to filter the display of matching item coordinates in order entry.

Overview of item coordinates: You can set up item coordinates for an item in order to cross-sell related items in order entry. For example, you could set up item coordinates of pants and a skirt to cross-sell with a blazer.

Displaying coordinates in order entry: A message displays in order entry when you add an item that is linked to one or more item coordinates. You select Coordinates for the primary item to display its coordinates. In the case of the blazer, all coordinated SKUs of the pants and the skirt will display.

How filtering works: You can use filtering to restrict the SKUs that display at the pop-up window to the ones you think the customer will be most interested in purchasing. In the case of the blazer, if the customer orders the blazer in size 10, you might filter the display to size 10 SKUs of the pants and skirt only. If you use SKU element 2 for size, you would set the system control value to 2.

Example:

Item AB100 (blazer) sold in colors NAVY, WHIT and BLCK, sizes 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 Item BB100 (skirt) in the following SKUs is coordinated to the blazer: NAVY 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 BLCK 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 The customer the blazer in NAVY, size 10 You filter on SKU element 2, size Result: The following coordinate SKUs of the skirt display when you order the blazer: NAVY 10 BLCK 10

Note: Even if you use filtering, you can toggle between displaying filtered SKUs and all SKUs in order entry, to accommodate cases when the customer requests a SKU that doesn't match the filtering SKU element.

If this field is blank: This field will not ordinarily be blank, as it is a required field. However, if this field is blank, an error message indicates in order entry if you attempt to filter the item coordinates that are listed.
