With release 27.1 you can automatically add the window and accessories to inventory if they do not already exist in IMU. You can have the system use the Andersen SKU or generate the SKU number.
Configure the system to automatically add Andersen windows and accessories to IMU:
Make sure Options 5200 thru 5206 have the appropriate SKU entered for each type of window unit you expect to import. The settings of the SKU entered in the option which corresponds to the type of unit being imported are used when adding the new window unit to IMU.
Make sure Option 5219 “Andersen - Cost Multiplier” has the multiplier used to calculate the window unit’s cost.
Make sure Option 5207 has the appropriate SKU entered for accessories. The settings of this SKU are used when adding the window accessories to IMU (if Post Separately is set to Yes).
Make sure Option 5220 “Andersen - Accessory Cost Multiplier” has the multiplier used to calculate the cost of window accessories.
Decide if you want the window unit to be added to IMU with the Andersen SKU, in which case the SKU need only be added if it doesn’t already exist in IMU, or with a system generated SKU unique to each customer order. Refer to option 5281’s extended description for details on the format of the system generated SKU. Once you have decided, set option 5281 “Andersen Windows Quick Add” accordingly – A to use the Andersen SKU, or G to use a system generated SKU.
Regardless of using A or G, the window unit will be added to IMU using the settings of the corresponding window unit SKU entered in options 5200 thru 5206, the Price and Description from the import, and the cost determined by the multiplier entered in Option 5219 “Andersen - Cost Multiplier”. If option 5281 is set to G, the Andersen SKU will be placed in the SKUs Manufacture Part # for use in Purchasing and Receiving.
If you post Andersen windows with the accessories as individual SKUs on the POS transaction (when the Post Separate flag is Yes) then decide if you want the accessories to be added to IMU with the Andersen SKU or with a system generated SKU. Refer to option 5282’s extended description for details on the format of the system generated SKU. Once you have decided, set option 5282 “Andersen Accessory Quick Add” accordingly – A to use the Andersen SKU, or G to use a system generated SKU.
Regardless of using A or G, the accessory will be added to IMU using the settings of the SKU entered in option 5207 “Andersen default SKU for "Andersen Accessory”, the Price and Description from the import, and the cost determined by the multiplier entered in Option 5220 “Andersen - Accessory Cost Multiplier”.
Notes:
If you have set option 5281 or 5282 to have the system generate the SKU, enter the 2-character prefix of this generated SKU in the option 5283 “Andersen Windows Generated SKU Prefix”.
Make sure existing Option 5218 “Andersen - Use Andersen SKU” is set to Yes, if you have set option 5281 or 5282 to A.
