| Alternative Sales / Purchase G/L Code | If the Purchase / Sales Line Type is set as Charge (Item), the calculation engine often needs to handle special rounding operations for very small amounts when calculating charges. If necessary, you can then add a line for the small amount that remains, using the alternative purchase or sales account. |
Contributions
From CONAI Materials->Contributions, for each material the amount of the contribution must be specified period by period:
| N.B. |
| It is important to keep the history of the price list, for the retroactivity of the calculations, adding lines in the case of updates on the prices of the material |
The CONAI Environmental Contribution, established for each type of packaging material, represents the form of financing through which CONAI distributes the cost for higher charges for separate waste collection, recycling and recovery of packaging waste among manufacturers and users. These costs, based on the provisions set forth in Legislative Decree 152/06, are distributed “in proportion to the total quantity, weight and the type of packaging material issued on the national market.”

CONAI Packagings
They represent the types of packaging, which differ from each other only in the composition of the materials, which are defined by clicking on CONAI Packaging-> Edit.
Identical packaging but, for example, of different color or appearance are comparable as long as the raw materials are in identical quantities.
N.B. The weight is defined as primary or secondary / tertiary. The former must be communicated separately from the latter.
- sales packaging or primary packaging : packaging designed so as to constitute a sales unit for the end user or consumer at the salling point;
- multiple packaging or secondary packaging : packaging designed in such a way as to constitute, at the point of sale, the grouping of a certain number of sales units, regardless of whether it is sold as such to the end user or to the consumer, or whether it serves only to facilitate the replenishment of shelves at the point of sale. It can be removed from the product without altering its characteristics;
- transport packaging or tertiary packaging : packaging designed to facilitate the handling and transport of goods, from raw materials to finished products, of a certain number of sales units or of multiple packaging to avoid their manipulation and damage related to transport, excluding containers for road, rail, sea and air transport.
CONAI Item Packagings
The CONAI packaging must be linked to the combination "Item / Variant / Unit of Measure" so as to be able to automatically suggest the weight in the sales and purchase invoices:
By clicking on the assist-edit of the Conai Package Code field it is possible to insert a 'CONAI Package' with the same article code.
On the CONAI Item Packaging page it is possible to choose if you want the packaging to be searched on the Production BOM or on the Assembly BOM (in the case, for example, of an item whose packaging is not in the CONAI packaging table, but is in the Production BOM or in the Assembly BOM of that item).
CONAI Exemptions
The exemptions are divided into sale and purchase exemptions. While those in the purchase are those that the company communicates to its vendors and therefore are a single percentage for each type of material, the ones for sale are different percentages for each customer and material. This percentage of exemption is also variable period per period:
Summarizing::
| Exemption Type | % | |
| Purchase | Own | fixed for each material |
| Sales | Customer | different for Customer and Material |
