Purpose
The LOSTSALE.CONTROL procedure is used to define the valid codes and descriptions that can be used to track lost sales. These codes are user defined and can be up to six characters. Examples of reasons that sales were lost might be lack of inventory or that you were under-bid on an order. Lost sales can be tracked in the LOSTSALE.E entry procedure.
It is important that these entries be consistent over time. You should not delete a code or change its meaning unless it is not currently being referenced in the system.
Frequency of Use
These codes are usually entered when the system is first being setup since
they are required before some other procedures may be used. After the initial
setup it is used as required to add new codes.
Prerequisites
None.
