What You Should Know About

Topic Description
Canceling and deleting line mode sales orders You can cancel but not delete an entire order, or cancel only specific order lines:

  • When you cancel an entire order, all of the order lines on Sale Order Entry display "Closed" and have a next status is 999 (complete and ready to purge).

  • When you cancel individual order lines, only the lines that you cancel display "Closed" and have a next status of 999.

You must use a purge program to remove an order from the system.

For more information about purges, see Section 61.1, "Purging Data."
Changing multi-currency sales orders After you enter a sales order, you can override the currency code and the exchange rate information only in line mode. If you change the exchange rate, you must remove both the price and cost amounts so that the system can recalculate the new amounts.
Reviewing currency conversion information You can review a sales order using multi-currency in both the foreign and domestic modes to see the conversion amounts.
