Royalty Code Maintenance, on the Inventory/Program Set-Up (SEI) menu, enables you to delete, modify, or add royalty codes which are available in Order Processing in the Item Detail, O=Other area of the order.  Royalty codes allow you to track the sales by item that are subject to a royalty fee.

Creating Royalty Codes

To create a royalty code, enter the alpha-numeric character, 2 being the maximum number of characters accepted.  You will then be asked if you want to create a royalty code.  Respond by pressing Y.  Type in the description that will appear in Order Processing and on reports.

Initiating Royalty Codes

After a royalty code is set up, the code must be indicated by customer in the Customer File Maintenance M=More data field 21.

A Royalty Code is entered in this field as a default and can be overridden.  At the time an order is entered in the Item Detail Section under O=Other, the operator can change or delete the Royalty code by line item in this section of Order Entry or Order Maintenance.
