Export And Import Code List:
Add Line Items From Code List For Model (Spec Out Chair From Codes):
Profit margin percentage will be accurate only if manufacturer costs and insurance allow values are maintained accurately.
To increase profit, use the model with a higher profit value.
Use the 'Add As Line Items' (+ icon) button to add a line item for each code specified in the code list (spec out a chair from codes). Multiple items with the same code on the order form are not automatically added as a line item. Codes with multiple items (ambiguous codes) are listed in the 'Can't Fill Codes' column of the grid. For ambiguous codes, use the 'Open order form' (folder icon) button, search the order form for the ambiguous codes, then select and save the appropriate items on the order form.
Specifying an order for this feature is required in case the user generates line items from a model and also to calculate the profit which depends on the allow values generated from the insurance selected for the order.
Exported code list files are stored on the users computer and do not affect any other user on a different computer.
Specify insurances for the order in Basic Info before running Max Profit.
