Package Items

This option allows you to view or select the Package Items. The Package Items are set up just like the Suggested Items. The only difference between a Package Item and a Suggested Item is that the Package Items are automatically added to the contract in the quantity entered on this screen. The counter person does not have the opportunity to change the quantity until after the item has been added to the contract. When updating the quantity on the contract, the user can update the quantity of the first package item and will be prompted to automatically update the rest of the items in the package. Items can also be added to the package on the item by double-clicking in the kit column on the contract processing screen. The user will be prompted to enter the package line number to tie the new item. This can be cleared by double-clicking on the kit field again and entering a zero.
