Special Functions

Below is a list of fields in the General tab of the Materials module that have additional functionality.

Field Name	Special Function(s)
Unit Cost Field	The unit cost for the material will be extracted from the Parts Inventory module as materials are added to the work order. If you do not have access to the Parts Inventory module, you can manually enter a unit cost. When a material is selected as a resource in a work order, this data is automatically carried over to the unit cost field for the resource record (from here it can be modified). Note: If the data in this field resembles ("*.#"), then you do not have rights within Security to view the data in this field. Please see your system administrator for details.
Journal Entry Import Button	The Journal Entry button, if marked, signals that this resource will be imported into the EDEN General Ledger.
Account # Field	This account # is automatically populated in the Work Orders Resources grid when the material is selected as a resource (from here it can be edited). If work options are set to have Work integrate with an outside financial accounting system, the account # field will appear "grayed out" and will not allow data entry. Click on the field caption to receive directions for attaching an account # to a grayed out field. This is not a required field.
Proj No-Acct Field	The Proj No - Acct is automatically populated in the Work Orders Resources grid when the material is selected as a resource (from here it can be edited). If work options are set to have Work integrate with an outside financial accounting system, the Proj No - Acct field will appear "grayed out" and will not allow data entry. Click on the field caption to receive directions for attaching a Proj No - Acct to a grayed out field. This is not a required field.
Warehouse Field	This field is used in conjunction with EDEN Parts Integration. It allows you to specify a default warehouse for the material. Note: This field is only editable if you have EDEN Parts Integration.

Warranty Fields

These fields can be filled out for the material when a part for a vehicle has a standard warranty. A warranty can be created for a fleet asset that is attached to a work order. If these fields are filled out the values will be used to automatically fill out parts of the warranty record.

Note: The Integrate Fleet Warranty with WO Resources option must be enabled in the Work Options (WO General Options, http://help.lucity.com/webhelp/v165/desktop/index.htm#375.htm) for the above process to work.

Field	Function
Warranty Length (days)	The number of days that the warranty will last. This is used with the work order asset's End Date to determine the warranty's Expiration Date.
Warranty Distance (miles)	The mileage that is covered by the warranty. This is used to fill out the warranty's Mileage Coverage.
Warranty Vendor Code	The vendor that supplies the warranty. This is used to fill out the warranty's Manuf Code.
