The Contract Order, Optional Detail tab allows the user to enter additional information for each order item. Here the user may designate additional inventory, warranty and financial behavior for incoming inventory associated with the order.

The following information/options are available in this window:
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Owner

The owner who is associated with this part on the order. The purpose of the owner code is to separate other companies' stock from your own. This is helpful if you hold consignment inventory or loan parts. When an owner is associated with the part, the part will indicate that it is consigned (with the Consigned icon), Loaned, Pool, or Managed via Inventory/Update/Inventory Transaction. The part will indicate that it is consigned with the Consigned icon. Consigned parts are those that are received by your company, but do not become officially yours unless the part is actually used on an aircraft. Consigned parts do not generate journal transactions or fixed asset records until the issue of the part to the aircraft.

Note: If the Owner field is populated when the Contract Order generates a Purchase Order, the PO will contain the Owner.

Capital Expenditure

The Capital Expenditure code describes the way in which a cost is to be accounted for.

Note: The Cost Center associated to the Capital Expenditure transaction code entered into this field is displayed as part of the G/L Account of the ordered part. The Cost Center is displayed only after this ordered part is received. For more information on how the Cost Center is associated to the Capital Expenditure and its impact of the Journal Entries, refer to the Orders Transaction Code Manual.

Note: If the Requisition and Line item linked to the order in the General tab contains a Capital Expenditure, the Capital Expenditure is auto-populated in the order's optional tab. For more information, refer to the Requisition Detail, Optional Tab via the Requisition Training Manual.

Note: Depending on the setting of Orders Switch CAPEXGL, either the Cost Center field or the Default G/L field is available within the Capital Expenditure transaction code.
When set to Yes, the Capital Expenditure transaction code will contain the Default G/L field (instead of the Cost Center field). When this Capital Expenditure is entered into an order's Optional tab, the transaction code's G/L (if populated) will override the order's G/L field in the General tab.
When set to No, the Capital Expenditure transaction code will contain the Cost Center field (instead of the Default G/L field). When this Capital Expenditure is entered into an order's Optional tab, the transaction code's Cost Center will override the order G/L's Cost Center at order receiving. The Journal Entries for the closed order will contain the Capital Expenditure's Cost Center in the G/L. For more information refer to Switch CAPEXGL via the Orders Switches Manual and transaction code Capital Expenditure via the Orders Transaction Code Manual.
