For direct material entry, the fields the article number (for articles from the article master), the article description, possibly a comment on the article, quantity with unit of measurement (is entered manually), purchase and sales prices (can be activated and deactivated by the system administrator in ems Mobile) must be completed.
Article text #
The article text can be changed directly in the order and in the document, provided it does not originate from the article master. The catalog item texts are not editable.
It is possible to edit the article text and the comment without any problems as long as the order or the material document has not yet been completed. Articles from completed documents have a lock.
Comments / remarks on articles #
For each material, however it is recorded, a comment can be added to the item in addition to the item text. This can contain item properties or other information.
Receipts (material certificate / order) #
If the items are selected from the catalog or entered directly, a document (material slip) is created automatically. All other items in the same order are added to this material slip.
The documents (material bills and orders) can only be viewed and changed in ems Web (in the Billing tab) if they have not been completed.
