Input Attribute Edit Window

This window is used to create or edit an attribute for an input. For information on attributes, see Core Concepts. If you are changing an attribute for many items at the same time, consider using the Bulk Attribute Change instead.

  • Input. Choose the input you are changing an attribute for.
  • Location. Choose the location this attribute change is for. Attributes are specific to a location so you can have different pricing, for example, at each location.
  • Change Date. Enter the date you want the change to start on. You cannot change the same attribute at the same location for the same ingredient more than once on a date.

  • Change Attribute. Choose the attribute you want to change the value for.

    • Cost. Use this attribute to set your cost for this input.
    • Market Value. Use this attribute to set the current market value for this input. This can be useful in inventory reports.
    • Bill At. Use this attribute to set the current billing price for this input. This will be the price Fusion uses when calculating values in a customer invoice, for example.
    • Equivalency. When you create an input, you specify both a distribution unit and a billing unit (see Input Edit Window). By default, Fusion assumes that 1 distribution unit is equal to 1 billing unit. However, if the units are different, you can specify the equivalency here. For example, you might deliver bedding in bales, but bill for it in tonnes.
    • Inventory Link. An input can be linked to a commodity for inventory purposes (see the Input/Commodity Linking section in Core Concepts). Use this attribute to set up such a link by entering the commodity you want to link to in the New Value field. You can also destroy a link by using this attribute and leaving the New Value field blank.
    • Tax Rate. Use this attribute to set the current tax rate for this input. This will be applied to any input on or after the switch date as defined in the Billing section of the Preferences Window.
  • New Value. Enter the new value of this attribute.

Editing Attributes

This window can be used to edit existing attributes, but take care to understand this warning:

If you have printed any reports based on this information, changing any of the values may result in the same report printing differently in the future. If you are trying to change an attribute for a new date, you must create a new attribute instead of changing this one.

Saving Changes

After you have made the changes, click the Save button. If you have changed your mind, click the Cancel button.

Connection With Bulk Attribute Change Window

When you use the Bulk Attribute Change window to make input based changes, internally Fusion is just creating attributes just as if you had made the changes one at a time using this window. In fact, if you made a mistake you can fix it with either the Bulk Attribute Change window or with this window.

Getting Here

You can open this window by going to Fusion Core → Attributes → New Input Attribute or by creating or editing an ingredient attribute in the Input Attribute List window.
