Use the NSTOCK program on the parts menu to create a new part number.
Here is the information you need to know:
Account number:
See the Chart of Accounts on Intranet >
Utilities > Chart of accounts
Description:
Be descriptive! This description will show up on
invoices, customs documents, our external website--so please be accurate and
complete.
Any part number that begins with 2 asterisks [**] is flagged for deletion. This part number will be deleted as soon as there are zero on hand, zero on order and zero reserved.
List Price:
This is Frontier's retail selling price in
Canadian dollars. Often this is calculated from the vendor's price list, using
a factor that is noted in the vendor record.
Book Price:
This varies by vendor. Some vendors (Kubota) give
us the Canadian list price as their "book price". Isuzu uses US distributor
net. Deere uses Canadian distributor net. This is usually the vendor's list
price in their native currency. We then apply a factor to this figure to come
up with our list price. This factor is different for every vendor.
Landed Cost:
Use your best guess to figure what this part
would cost us, landed on our doorstep, all freight and duty included. This does
not have to be 100% accurate, because the system will put in the accurate cost
once we receive the vendor invoice, but it helps us to know our margins before
the vendor paperwork arrives.
