The FOC Sales App
The Sysco app for FOC (Free of Charge) sales was developed to prevent any sales orders from posting without confirmation of a zero price. Depending on the maintenance of prices or promotional prices items can be entered on the sales order but the price does not exist and is therefore set as zero on the sales line. Business Central could then invoice this as zero but the FOC Sales forces the sales line to be identified as FOC.
The sales line must be ticked as Free of Charge and a Free of Charge reason code can also be entered to allow for future analysis on sales.
N.B. If there is a unit price and Free of Charged is ticked then the unit price is automatically set to zero.
The Sysco app does not allow ALL users to enter the FOC fields on the sales lines so this can be carefully monitored by the user setup.
This means that only a select few users can have the ability to enter the FOC fields on the sales order which will reduce sales invoices created with incorrect pricing.
