Ability to change the Extend Price Calculation in Order Entry

Hi,

Is it possible to change the Extend Price Calculation in Order Entry?

Right now, our products are sold by the item number and the length. For example, a wood pole may have an item number called,"WP". We cut the WPs based upon the customer's request. In Sage 300, we have to create a new item number for every length. This creates several item numbers in our system. Right now we have WP1 to WP50 for each length we cut the WPs. The number represents lengths from 1 foot to 50 feet. In our system, we show 50 items, but we really only have 1 item that we cut to order.

To make it easier, we would like to create a custom field called LENGTH. We then would like to take that field and use it in the Extend Price Calculation. For example, the standard calculation is QTY * PRICE = EXTENDED PRICE. We want to change it to QTY * PRICE * LENGTH = EXTENDED PRICE. Is this possible? If so, does anyone have recommendations how to do this?

Any Suggestions would be appreciated.

    I understand your suggestion, but then we would have to create a UNIT of measure for each measurement. If we did this, we would have to create 1 to 50 feet and any custom measurements such as 3.25 feet, etc.

    We are looking for a solution where we can manually enter the quantity, length, and unit price on the fly. We want it to be very simplified for our sales people without having them add or modify any UNITS of MEASURE. We are more concerned with the ease of use of taking the order.

    Is there a way to create a custom field to called LENGTH. We then would like to take that field and use it in the Extend Price Calculation. For example, the standard calculation is QTY * PRICE = EXTENDED PRICE. We want to change it to QTY * PRICE * LENGTH = EXTENDED PRICE. Is this possible? If so, does anyone have recommendations how to do this?

    We are not looking for a workaroud, but want to do it this way.
