Contingents Setup

Contingent Groups, Contingent Types and Contingent Item Type must be set up to use contingents. Additionally, contingency settings must be defined on Item Cards.

Contingent Types

The range of contingent types (sample types) are defined in the Contingent Types page, which is accessed using Tell Me. Choose the icon, enter Contingent Types, and then choose the related link.

In the Print Text field, specify a text to be printed automatically on the Order Confirmation, Sales Shipment, and Sales Invoice when using the respective sample type.

Note

The Print Text of the Contingent Group takes priority over the Print Text of the Contingent Type (see Contingent Group Card).

Contingent Item Groups

The groups to which individual items can be assigned for the contingent management are defined in the Contingent Item Groups page, which is accessed using Tell Me. Choose the icon, enter Contingent Item Groups, and then choose the related link.

Item Card

On the Item Card, the settings for the contingent management are defined on the Prices & Sales FastTab.

The contingent management-related fields on the item card are described in the following table.
