The FactBox for missing Operation Plan calculations
It is possible to show a FactBox on the right side of the journal for Operation Plan Entries that cannot be calculated.
The FactBox shows all the information needed to identify missing Operation Plan Price List lines and to add them.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Entry Type | The type of the packaging. |
| No. | the unique number of the packaging. |
| Entry Date | The date on which the handling was incurred. |
| Customer No. | The Customer No. |
| Packaging Project No.. | The number of the linked packaging Project. This field is only visible if the Packaging Projects feature is used. |
| Packaging Project Task No. | The number of the linked packaging Project task. This field is only visible if the Packaging Projects feature is used. |
| Entry No. | The sequential, unique number of the entry. |
There is a function in the FactBox to switch to the list of Operation Plan Price Lists to insert the missing Price List lines.
The user does not need to adjust the list of missing calculations when new Price List lines are created. As soon as the displayed Operation Plan entries can be precalculated with an Operation Plan Price List, the entry is automatically removed from the FactBox.
Note
The FactBox fills with new entries when no calculations can be performed for Operation Plan Entries. This occurs when the Operation Plan lines in the stock movement documents are transferred to items during posting and there is no active matching Operation Plan Price List line for the precalculation of the item. If the user adds the missing Operation Plan Price List line and recalculates the Operation Plan items, the entries are removed from the FactBox if a matching Operation Plan Price List line has now been found for the calculation.
