If this option is enabled, entrée will calculate and display an estimated Extended Amount and Invoice Total when catchweight and/or LB. items are present.

 

•Normally these items are ignored by the invoice editing process until actual weight information is provided.

 

•If an Average Weight value is defined in Inventory Maintenance for a catchweight item, the extended amount will be calculated using the formula Average Weight * Quantity Ordered * Unit Price

 

•LB. items will be estimated using the formula Quantity Ordered * Unit Price

 

•The calculation and storage of count and weight totals data in Create / Change Invoice will work System Option #107 and has been updated to save this data as a permanent part of the invoice for use by the Assign Routes Utility. When System Option #107 is enabled entrée will attempt to use whatever information is available to generate meaningful estimates for the shipping weight for catchweight / "LB." items. The Assign Routes Utility will include those estimated weights so that the totals shown in Assign Routes are more realistic.

 

•For a lot-based item where lots have been assigned but actual weights have not been entered yet, the process of estimating the weight for the item would count the per-item estimated weight once for each assigned lot rather than counting it just once (since it's the estimate for the entire line item).
