Allocating Items


If the item is in response to a purchase order, associated with a special order, it is a bulk item, or if you have a multistore environment, the Allocate window will appear.  This tells The Edge what to do with the item:  assign to a particular store, increase bulk quantities, assign it to a special order, etc.  

To allocate an item, when prompted:

  1. Add or receive the item as needed.  When appropriate, the Allocate window will appear.


    Fields and information in the Allocate window include:
     

    Cost

    For fine jewelry, enter the TOTAL cost of all items.
    For bulk pricing methods, enter the cost of EACH item.

    Invoice #

    The invoice number associated with the item order.

    Description

    Description of the item.

    Style Note

    Text added to the style number that will help identify the item.  For example, it might be stone type, size, etc.
