Price Summary

Field or Control

Description

Gross Order Total

Displays the list price for all schedules of the order.

Line Adjustments

Displays the adjustments for list price for all schedules.

Order Adjustment

The total order adjustment amounts can only be applied once to the very first invoice. If the payment for the counter sales order is taken at the counter, then the Order Header Adjustment Billed flag must be set to yes. If there is subsequent order activity with this sales order, additional total order adjustment amounts will not apply.

Total Net Price

Displays the gross order total due minus the line adjustments and the order adjustments.

Freight Amount

Displays the freight charges summed for all deliveries.

Freight Tax

Displays the freight taxes summed for all deliveries with schedules.

Tax Amount

Displays the sales tax summed for schedules.

Total GST

Displays when the GST flag is enabled.

You can view the values for the line from the Taxes tab and for the entire order in the Price Summary area.

Net Order Total

Displays the total net price plus VAT amount plus freight charge amount plus freight tax plus tax amount.

Total Payment Received

Displays the total money received from the customer for the order. This amount includes all deposits and payments.

Payment Applied

Displays the payment that has been applied, used, or refunded. It is calculated as the difference between the total payment received and the order deposit balance.

Order Deposit Balance

Displays the balance of the total deposits made against the sales order minus any previously applied deposits or refund activity.

Deposit Required Basis

Displays the sum of the unfulfilled schedules that do not have a deposit placed for them. This basis amount will be used to calculate the amount of a deposit that is to be collected for an order.

Note: If you want to take a deposit for a product kit that is direct ship from the supplier, a noninventoried item, or a kit with a noninventoried component, disable the Mark for Billing at Save option on the Order Entry Features page of the Order Management business unit. Otherwise after confirming and saving the order, the deposit cannot be included because the nonstocked product will have already been shipped.

Deposit Percent

Displays the amount of the deposit to be used against the current order transaction. This amount will be automatically calculated. When calculating this amount, the system will leave enough of the deposit to cover any existing backorders. You can override the system generated amount on the Record Payment page. The deposit percent defaults from the bill to customer and then the Order Entry Feature page for the Order Management business unit.

Deposit Required Amount

Displays the system calculated amount representing the deposit amount to be collected from the customer for the current transaction. The value is calculated by multiplying the deposit required basis times the deposit percent. You can override the amount on the Record Payment page.

Pickup Amount

Displays the amount that is currently being picked up (immediately picked up from the counter at the time the order transaction is placed).

Deposit Applied

Displays the current refund amount available to offset the pick up amount, any remaining monies are used to offset the deposit required basis.

For example, suppose an order is completed and payment is taken for an order line that has not been shipped or picked up. Then the order line is cancelled and a new order line is added to the sales order. The system uses the refund amount available for the cancelled order line as a credit to offset the pick up amount first and then the required deposit basis secondarily.

Total Due

Displays the amount of the order that is due for the current order transaction.

Refund Due

Displays the refund due to the customer. It is calculated as the current order deposit balance, minus the amount withheld for the back order goods and any offset for the current transaction's pickup amount and basis for required deposit. It is displayed only if there is refund due.

*Payment Required

This message is displayed if the customer is required to make a payment at the time the order is placed. For example, if there is a total due on the order, and if the customer is marked as an immediate payment customer, then they will be required to pay in full for all items they are taking with them at order time. If the customer is marked as requiring a deposit, then they will be required to pay the deposit required amount at order time for any items that they are not taking with them, for example, backorder or special ordered items.

See Adding General Customer Information.

*Payment Not Required

This message is displayed if the customer is not required to make a payment at the time the order is placed. For example, if there is a total due on the order, and if the customer is not marked as an immediate payment customer, then the customer has the option to either pay in full, pay in part, or pay later for the items they are taking with them at order time. If the customer is not marked as requiring a deposit, then they will not be required to pay a deposit for any items that they are not taking with them.

Print Pick Plan

Click this link to print the counter sales pick plan. You can now change the report output device or printer path from the modal window displayed.

Note: The default printer path is as set on the Order Sales page, available from the User Preferences page; if the Display Pick Plan report on Screen check box is not selected on the Order Entry Features page then the printer path appears selected in the individual modal window, else not.

The pick plan can be configured to suit your business needs.

Picking Feedback

Click this link to access the Counter Sales Picking Feedback page.

Confirm Order

Click this button to indicate that you are done creating or changing the order and is ready to move to the next step. After clicking the button, the system determines backorder conditions, prompts for backorder decisions, indicates that the order is ready for payment, and perform edits to confirm the order.

Note: Only items that are in the buffer will be confirmed when you click the button. If you are processing a large order that requires chunking, only those rows that are currently viewed online will be confirmed. In addition, you cannot change the quantity for configured products after the button is clicked and the demand is moved to the releasable state in PeopleSoft Inventory.

Record Payment

Click to access the Record Payment page.

If the order has not yet been confirmed, then the system will automatically confirm the order prior to displaying the Record Payment page.

Print Receipt

Click to print the goods receipt.

Note: If you select the Disable Price on Receipt check box on the General Information - Bill To Options page, prices on counter sales orders are masked.

SeeGeneral Information - Bill To Options Page

You can reprint a goods receipt that has been printed for a previously completed order by clicking the Reprint Goods Receipt link from the Header menu at the top of the Order Entry Form page. The document reference number is required on the prompt page. You have the option of printing the receipt as it is or including the current backorder report as of the date you reprint. You can also choose to hide the prices when you reprint the goods receipt.

The receipt can be configured to suit your business needs.

Complete Order

Click this button to complete the transaction.

Note: Counter sale will use the Document Reference number to distinguish between every completed transaction. If you implement a ten character order number, the maximum number of completed transactions allowed for a single sales order is 99,999. Implementing less characters for the business unit and order number would allow for more complete transactions per order.

Save

When you click the button, the system performs the same edits that it does for a regular sales orders such as performing lot allocation.

Note: You cannot perform lot allocations for a counter sale pick-up item if counter sale allocates the line and sets it to the released state.

Note: If you click the Record Payment button without first pressing the Confirm Order button, the system automatically performs the confirmation processing first, then it performs the record payment actions. Similarly, if you click the Complete Order button before clicking any of the prior buttons, the system first performs the confirmation process, then does record payment. If the customer is on account and there are no backorders, only clicking the Complete Order button will complete the order without requiring further action by the CSR.

See Record Payment Page.
