When a customer wants to purchase items from your organization, you must record the items, quantities, prices, and any additional customer-specific information that is related to that sale. Using the Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 and P42101), you create sales orders to track all of the information that is related to each sale.

The sales order entry forms include required and optional fields. Depending on the complexity of the sale, you can determine which fields you complete. If you complete only the required fields, the system retrieves default customer, item, and preference information from a set of tables. The system also retrieves the base price information when you enter the item on a sales order. If necessary, you can override the default information on the sales order. When you override the default information, only the specific sales order reflects the overrides. The master tables are not changed.

The system retrieves default sales order information from these tables:

The system also retrieves base price information for the item that is entered.

Note. If you create sales orders using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Force Automation system from Oracle, you maintain and process those sales orders from the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system, just as you would any sales orders that you create using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system.

Sales Order Entry Programs

You can use two programs to create sales order records in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management tables, P4210 and P42101. These programs enable you to enter or update sales orders in a way that is most convenient for you.

The two Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 and P42101) work together to process sales order information. Both programs update the same tables in the system. Even if you do not use the P4210 entry program to create and modify sales orders, you must still create a version of that program that specifies processing information in the processing options. You then enter this version of the P4210 program in the processing options of the P42101 program. When you create and modify sales orders using P42101, the system uses the information in the processing options of P42101, along with the information in the specified version of P4210, to process the sales order.

The P42101 program does not fully duplicate the functionality of the P4210 program. You must use the P4210 program to enter transfer sales orders and credit orders from sales history information, and to run customer self-service functionality.

See Entering Sales Orders for Customer Service Representatives.

Sales Order Information

A sales order includes two types of information:

You can enter header information and detail information separately. You can enter sales orders in two ways, depending on the volume of orders that you process and the amount of header information that you enter:

Multicurrency

You can enter international sales orders using the same procedures as domestic sales orders if you activate the Multi-Currency Conversion option on the General Accounting Constants form.

Order Holds

During order entry, the system can determine whether to process or hold the order. When you enable order hold processing, the system determines whether the order should be on hold and, if necessary, issues an order hold warning to the user before processing the order.

Sales Proposals

After you create a sales order, you can generate a sales proposal. When you generate a proposal, you select the predefined templates and template parts that you want to include in the proposal. When you create the templates, you define the pieces of data that the system automatically retrieves from JD Edwards EnterpriseOne tables, which enable you to quickly create configured documents for the customers. You can also resequence the templates and template parts to create a proposal that meets the needs of your company.

Many organizations rely heavily on proposals during contract negotiation. You can also use proposals to expedite order entry.

This section provides overviews of sales order header information, sales order detail information, workflow processing during sales order entry, and activating subsystem processing, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Sales Order Header Information

When you create a sales order, you must enter header and detail information. The header information pertains to the entire order, and includes:

The sales order header also contains information about how the system processes a sales order, such as billing instructions and delivery dates.

Most of the remaining header information, such as tax code and area, shipping address, and freight information, consists of default values from the F0101 table and the customer master billing instructions that are stored in the F03012 table. During order header entry, you can review and change the values that apply to a specific order. However, to change the information that the system retrieves for future orders, you must update the information in the master tables. The only header information that you cannot change is the order keys, which include the order number, order type, and order company. This information uniquely identifies the sales order record.

In addition to the header information that you enter, you can create a message and attach it to a sales order so that when you print the sales order the message appears in the order header area.

Before you enter sales order header or detail information, you must first set the processing options for the P4210 program.

Related Addresses

When you set up customer billing instructions and other customer master information, you define the address to which you send the invoice as the sold-to address and the address to which you send the shipment as the ship-to address. You can define related addresses for a customer if the order information, such as the shipping requirements, differs from the billing information, such as invoice copies and payment terms. The system completes the sold-to address whenever you enter the ship-to address.

During order entry, the system retrieves accounts receivable information, such as tax explanation codes and rate areas, from the F03012 table. For direct ship, transfer orders, or sales orders with differing sold-to and ship-to addresses, the system retrieves the tax explanation code from the sold-to address and the tax rate and area from the ship-to address depending on the system setup. The system also retrieves other accounts receivable information, such as billing address type (sold-to, ship-to, or both), credit information, and invoice copies, based on how you have set up customer billing instructions.

Reviewing Credit Information

When you enter an order, you can verify the accounts receivable and aging balances for the sold-to address. You can use this information to assist the customer on the current order.

You access the Credit Check program (P42050) to review information about a customer's account and credit status. You can compare the customer's total accounts receivable and open orders to the customer's current credit limit that is assigned in the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012) to determine whether the credit limit has been exceeded.

Using the Credit Check program, you can access:

Entering Commission Information

The system enters default header commission information from the Customer Master Commission Information (F42140) and Commission Constants (F42004) tables. During order entry, you can access the header commission information and make modifications.

See Setting Up Commission Information.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Sales Order Detail Information

After you add header information to a sales order, you add detail information about the items on the order, such as item identifiers, quantities, prices, and costs. You can specify information that prints on the customer's invoice, such as backordered and shipped quantities. You can also add messages to individual detail lines.

Because the system retrieves most of the detail information from other tables, you need to enter only a minimum of information. Using the data that you enter, the system completes the remaining fields with default information. You can review and change the values as necessary.

You can enter the required customer and order information on either the header or detail information form. You might want to access header information before accessing detail information to review the default values before you enter the order. To locate and review orders, you can directly access the detail information.

Based on the processing option selection, you can enter header information before you enter detail information.

When you enter sales order detail information, the system retrieves default information from various tables, including:

The information in the sales order detail is specific to the item and customer combination. Changes in the detail form affect only the order detail line to which you have made the change.

Because the system retrieves most of the information from the sales order header and other tables, you need to enter only the item number for stock items and the quantity.

Enter Item Information

If you do not know the item number, you can click the search button in the Item Number field to access the Item Search form. The system retrieves item information using any of the product identifiers and the replacement, substitute, or cross-reference numbers, such as supplier's or customer's part number. The cross-reference information must be set up in the Item Cross Reference program (P4104).

Retrieve Base Price

When you enter an item in the F4101 table, you specify the level at which the system maintains a standard price for an item, or whether that price differs between branch/plants or locations and lots within the branch/plant.

If you use multicurrency, you must set the pricing level so that the system maintains prices for the item based on the branch/plant or the location and lots within each branch/plant.

The unit price that you enter during sales order entry overrides pricing that you have set up on the Base Price Revisions form. If you do not enter a unit price during sales order entry, the system retrieves a price based on pricing hierarchy.

The hierarchy that you set up for the Base Price Preference (51) determines the sequence with which the system searches the F4106 table. The base price hierarchy is a matrix comprising combinations of customers and items and customer and item price groups. You use the intersection of the rows and columns to determine the hierarchy sequence.

The system retrieves price information based on entries in the customer billing instructions and the F4106 table.

During order entry, you can check the price and availability of an item before selecting a price for an item.

See Setting Up Base and Standard Pricing.

Change Tax Information

During order entry, the system retrieves the tax explanation code and rate areas from the F03012 table. For direct ship, transfer orders, or sales orders with alternate sold-to and ship-to addresses, the system retrieves the tax explanation code from the sold-to address and the tax rate and area from the ship-to address, but you can override the default information.

If the system retrieves the tax explanation code, tax rate, and area from the header information, but the Sales Taxable option in Item Branch/Plant Information form for the item in the detail line is set to N, the system does not calculate tax for the detail line.

See Mapping Fields from Vertex Sales Tax Q Series System to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Software.

Process Serial Number Requirements

Based on the serial number requirements that you have defined for an item in the Item Branch program (P41026), these rules apply if a serial number is required during sales order entry:

You might receive an error message because a location or serial number and an item combination that you enter is not available or because the quantity on hand is zero. Serial numbers are unavailable if the quantity for the item/location/serial number combination is:

See Processing Serial Number Information.

Enter Commission Information

The system applies commission information from the header to the detail. To apply salespeople or sales groups and commission information to a single line within an order, select Detail Commissions from the Row menu and revise the commission information.

If you activate the JDESOENTRY workflow process and the system places the current order on hold, an action message is sent to the salesperson who is responsible for the hold code. The message is sent following the system's completion of hold code processing. If the system does not put the order on hold, an action message is sent to the salesperson, as defined in the Commission Maintenance program (P42120), with the sold-to number indicating that the order is being processed. You can view messages that are sent during the workflow process in the Work Center program (P012501).

See Setting Up Commission Information.

Enter Default Line Information

Default line information is useful when you need to specify pick, ship, and requested dates and times, as well as a branch/plant other than the branch/plant in the header information. This is useful if you do not enter header information before you enter detail information or if you have an alternate branch/plant for many detail lines. You can use this feature only when you add sales orders.

After you enter default line information, complete the steps to enter item information.

Note. Although you can override the information as you enter each detail line, the system does not update the information for each detail line if you inquire and change the default values for detail lines.

Assign Agreements to a Sales Order

Agreements are legal documents that include all terms and stipulations of a contract. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Agreement Management system from Oracle enables you to set up different types of agreements to track transactions and ensure that the contract is being honored. When entering a sales order, you can associate these agreements:

The system selects agreements using these criteria:

Zero Cost and Zero Price

The system enables you to change the price or cost of a detail line to zero. When you zero the cost or price of a detail line on a sales order, the system does not create records in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable system.

You can use the zero price feature to ship product samples to potential customers, to send a replacement part at no cost to the customer, or to ship an item to suppliers for quoting. You can use the zero cost feature to return samples to suppliers.

Creating sales orders with zero price and cost enables you to relieve and track inventory without creating amounts in accounts receivable.

Override Order Address

The system enables you to override the address that is associated with the sold to or ship to customer number. If you enter a sales order for a customer with multiple line items, you can override the ship-to address on one line to send a single item to a different location for your customer. Your customer might request that you ship products directly to their customer (third-party), while you continue to bill and invoice your customer directly.

Hard Commit Inventory

When you enter order detail lines, you can hard-commit inventory to the sales order by entering a location. Hard-committing inventory enables you to allocate the inventory to the customer.

You can enter a sales order detail line for a license plate controlled branch, item, location, and lot. The system does not hard-commit the inventory to the Item Location File table (F41021) until the suggestion process has been run successfully using the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system. A time lag could occur between the entry of the sales order and the hard-commitment in the license plate detail. The greater this time lag, the greater the risk that other inventory processes can commit to that license plate.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow enables you to automate high-volume, formerly paper-based processes into an email-based process flow across a network. Documents, information, and tasks pass from one participant to another for action based on a set of procedural rules. Workflow processing is an automatic and efficient way to streamline business processes to reduce processing time with minimal user involvement.

The system processes sales orders through order hold checking. After you click OK to accept an order, the system checks the processing options of Sales Order Entry (P4210 and P42101) programs for hold codes and compares the order against the order hold information.

When you activate the JDESOENTRY workflow process and the system puts an order on hold, an action message is sent to the person responsible for the hold code notifying him or her that the current order is on hold. The message is sent following the system's completion of hold code processing. If the system does not put the order on hold, an action message is sent to the salesperson, as defined in the Commission Maintenance program (P42120), with the sold-to number indicating that the order is being processed. You can view messages that are sent during the workflow process in the Work Center program (P012501).

Note. The JDESOENTRY process can affect performance. You cannot enter another order until the system has processed the previous order and terminated the workflow process.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Activating Subsystem Processing

Subsystem jobs are batch processes that continually run independent of, but asynchronously with, interactive applications. You use subsystem processing to off-load processor resources, protect server processes, and perform repetitive and frequent processes to maximize output.

If you need a pick slip or invoice immediately when you finish the order entry process, you can set up and activate subsystem processing. You might want instant print capability if you:

To end subsystem processing, you must locate and select the appropriate server on which the subsystem is running. On the Work With Servers form, select Subsystem Jobs from the Row menu. On the Work With Subsystems form, select the appropriate job and then select End Subsystem Job from the Row menu.

Important! You must stop the subsystem processing before performing end-of-day processing. You can also stop one or more jobs in the subsystem at any time.

You activate subsystem processing by creating a new version of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210), specifically for subsystem processing, and entering a value in the Subsystem Processing processing option on the Process tab of the P4210 program for one of these programs:

You must identify the subsystem version of each program in the corresponding processing option on the Versions tab.

For example, to activate subsystem processing to print pick slips immediately after order entry, you set the value in the processing options to print pick slips and then identify the version of the R42520 program.

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Customer Self Service provides your customers the ability to enter sales orders, review the sales order status, review shipment status, and validate account transactions.

You enable customers to access your JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system so that they can review timely inventory information and enter their sales orders directly.

Customer self-service provides security so that only a limited number of programs and fields are available for your customers. Customers do not have access to your entire system.

Processing options enable you to specify default values, how to copy orders, system processes that are performed, information that is displayed, and versions of programs that are accessed through the Sales Order Entry program (P4210).

Defaults

These processing options specify default values, such as the document type, that P4210 uses when other values are not entered for the transaction.

Except for the required order type, these defaults apply during order entry only. If you are inquiring on written records, the system retrieves orders based on the order information in the form header first, and then uses the parameters that you define for inquiries.

You can override default information that appears on the header and detail forms. If information is hidden, the system processes orders based on the default information that is set up in the processing options or the master tables.

1. Order Type (Required)

Enter a value from user-defined code (UDC) 00DT that indicates the type of document.

Certain document type codes are reserved for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets, which create automatic offset entries during the post program.

If you use this version of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) in other programs, the default values for the program in which the original order is created override the default values for the sales order. For example, if you use this version of the P4210 program in the Blanket Order Release program (P42216), the order line type in the blanket order overrides the default line type in the sales order.

2. Line Type

Enter a code that controls how the system processes lines on a transaction.

Line types control the systems with which the transaction interacts (such as JD Edwards EnterpriseOne General Accounting, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Job Cost from Oracle, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Payable, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Accounts Receivable, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Inventory Management). Values are defined on the Line Type Constants Revisions form and include:

S: For stock item.

J: For job cost.

N: For nonstock item.

D: For direct ship item.

F: For freight.

T: For text information.

M: For miscellaneous charges and credits.

W: For work order.

On the Line Type Constants Revisions form, you can set up a line type for nonstock items that retrieves information from the Lot Master table (F4108) but does not commit quantities. The system uses the Edit the Item Master for Non-Stock Items option when the Inventory Interface option is set for a nonstock item, such as D or N.

When you enter a direct ship item line type, the system uses a version of the Purchase Order Entry program (P4310) to create the purchase order that is related to this sales order. Specify the version in the Purchase Order Entry processing option on the Version tab of the processing options for the Sales Order Entry program (P4210).

When you enter a work order line type, the system creates the work order using the version of the Work Order Entry program (P48013) that you specify in the Work Order Entry processing option on the Versions tab of the processing options for P4210.

If you use this version of the P4210 program in other programs, the default values for the program in which the original order is created override the default values for the sales order. For example, if you use this version of the P4210 program in the Blanket Order Release program (P42216), the order line type in the blanket order overrides the default line type in the sales order.

3. Beginning Status

Enter a value from UDC 40/AT that indicates the current point in the order process.

You must specify a code that has been set up in the order activity rules based on the order type and the line type that you are using.

The combination of the beginning status and the next status must be a valid last status and next status combination in the Order Activity Rules table (F40203).

4. Override Next Status

Enter a value from UDC 40/AT that indicates the next step in the order process. You must specify a code that has been set up in the order activity rules based on the order type and the line type that you are using.

The override status is another enabled step in the process. The combination of the beginning status and the override next status must be a valid last status and next status combination in the F40203 table.

5. Line Number Increment

Enter the increment that the system uses to automatically number the order lines. You should select a whole number because other processes, such as kit entry, create decimal increments.

6. Reason Code

Enter a value that has been set up in UDC 42/RC. This is a memo-only field for reporting purposes.

Note. Reason Code 6 is reserved.

7. Override Transaction Unit of Measure

Enter the unit of measure from UDC 00/UM for an item in an order.

If you do not enter a value for this processing option, the system retrieves the primary unit of measure that is defined in the Item Master table (F4101).

8. Default Transaction Unit of Measure

Specify which unit of measure to use. The system retrieves the transaction unit of measure when the Override Transaction Unit of Measure field is blank. Values are:

Blank: Use the primary unit of measure.

1: Use the pricing unit of measure.

9. Address Book Revisions

Specify whether the system prompts users to add new customers to the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Address Book system during sales order entry. If you enter a customer address book number in the Sold To field or the Ship To field that the system does not recognize, the system does not enable you to enter an order. Values are:

Blank: You must manually access the Address Book Revisions form and add customer information before entering an order.

1: The system automatically displays the Address Book Revisions form.

Whether you access the Address Book Revisions form from a Form menu option or select the option to automatically add customers, the system uses version ZJDEC003 of the Address Book Revisions program (P0101).

10. Update Header to Detail

Specify whether the system updates corresponding information on the detail information form if you change the header information. Use the Define Header Columns to Detail program (P40HDR) to identify the fields that the system uses to update the detail form. Values are:

Blank: Do not update information in the Sales Order Detail Revisions form unless you select the Populate option from the Header to Detail Form menu.

1: The system automatically updates the detail lines to reflect changes that you make to header information.

11. Header Branch/Plant

Specify the value with which the system selects the default branch/plant for tracking costs. You can set up a default header branch/plant based on the user ID or terminal, or based on the business unit for the ship to address in the Address Book Revisions program (P0101). Values are:

Blank: Use the default location based on the user ID or terminal ID and display the branch/plant in the order header form.

You set up the default branch/plant based on the user or terminal ID in the Default Location and Printers program (P400951).

1: Use the business unit that you specify on the Address Book Revisions form for the customer to which you are shipping the goods.

12. Default Branch/Plant

Specify the default branch/plant that appears in the order header.

13. Order Template

Enter a standard template that applies to all customers.

You can create a standard template that lists frequently ordered items. Although the system displays this template for every order, you do not have to apply any or all of the items during order entry.

14. Customer Self Service Structure Type

Enter the value from UDC 01/TS that indicates the organizational structure type that you want to use. In the application, you can select an address book number from a list of addresses that are associated with another address book number. You specify this address book number either as a related address in the address book record or you associate it with you through the organizational structure type. The system uses the organizational structure type to recognize the relationship between one address book number and the other address book numbers that belong to the organization.

If you leave this processing option blank, the system enables you to select a value from the list of related address numbers that are specified in the address number record.

15. User ID default (CSS only)

Specify whether the system displays the user ID in the Ship To field or the Sold To field in the sales order header when using Customer Self Service (CSS). Values are:

Blank: Display the user ID in the Sold To header.

1: Display the user ID in the Ship To header.

16. Override Sold To and Ship To Header (CSS only)

Specify whether to enable the Ship To and Sold To fields to be overridden when using CSS. Values are:

Blank: Do not enable override.

1: Enable users to override the Sold To and Ship To fields in customer self-service mode at the header level.

17. Override Carrier Number (CSS only)

Specify whether the to override the carrier in the header information when using CSS. Values are:

Blank: Do not override the carrier.

1: Override the carrier number.

18. Sold To Contact Record Type

Specify the sold to contact type from UDC 01/WO that should appear by default in the header at time of order entry through the Sales Order Entry program (P42101).

19. Ship To Contact Record Type

Specify the Ship to contact type from UDC 01/WO that should appear by default in the header at time of order entry through P42101.

Note. Customer Self Service (CSS)-only designated processing options do not apply to noncustomer self-service order entry.

Duplication

These processing options specify values, such as the document type, that the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) uses when you duplicate a sales order.

1. Order Type

Enter a value from UDC 00/DT that specifies the order type of a duplicated document.

When you click Copy on the toolbar on the Customer Service Inquiry form, the system creates a duplicate order with this order type.

If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses the value that is specified in the Order Type processing option on the Defaults tab of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210).

2. Beginning Status

Enter a value from UDC 40/AT that indicates the current status for the duplicated line. When you click Copy on the Customer Service Inquiry form, the system creates a duplicate order at this status. You must specify a value from UDC 40/AT that has been set up in the order activity rules based on the order type and the line type that you are using. The combination of the beginning status and the next status must be a valid last status and next status combination in the F40203 table.

3. Next Status

Enter a value from UDC 40/AT that indicates the next step in the order process for the duplicate order. You must specify a value from UDC 40/AT that has been set up in the order activity rules based on the order type and the line type that you are using. The override status is another enabled step in the process. The combination of the beginning status and the override next status must be a valid last status and next status combination in the F40203 table.

4. Copy Associated Text

Specify which messages and associated text are copied when you duplicate orders. Values are:

Blank: Do not copy associated text or messages.

1: Copy messages and text that are attached to an order detail line.

2: Copy messages or text that is attached to the header, as well as messages that are attached to the order detail line.

3: Copy messages or text that is attached to the header, but not a particular order detail line.

Order Holds

These processing options activate order hold processing. You must specify the hold code in any of these processing options to activate order hold processing. You set up hold parameters in the Hold Order Constants program (P42090).

1. Customer Credit Check

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that indicates the credit hold code that the system uses to automatically compare the credit limit that you set up for the customer in the Customer Master Information form against the order and any outstanding balances in accounts receivable.

You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate customer credit check processing.

2. Order Margin Check

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that identifies the order margin check that the system uses to verify that all sales orders meet a specific margin.

The system uses this equation to calculate margin:

(Price − Cost) ÷ Price × 100 = Margin

You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate order margin check processing.

3. Order Line Margin Check

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that identifies the order line margin check that the system uses to verify that all order detail lines meet a specific margin.

The system uses this equation to calculate margin:

(Price − Cost) ÷ Price × 100 = Margin

You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate margin checking for order lines.

4. Order Minimum Value Check

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that identifies the code that the system uses to automatically compare the order minimum that you set up for the customer in the Customer Billing Instructions form against the order total.

You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate minimum value checking for orders.

5. Order Maximum Value Check

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that identifies the code that the system uses to automatically compare the order maximum that you set up for the customer in the Customer Billing Instructions form against the order total.

You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate maximum value checking for orders.

6. Partial Order Hold

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that identifies the code that the system uses to hold an entire order if quantity is not available to fill an order detail line.

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that the system uses to prevent the order from going through various stages of sales order processing.

This hold code does not have any special processing associated with it, such as credit checking, minimum and maximum margin checking, and so forth. You can use this processing option to create an additional approval step for sales orders.

11. Approval Hold

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that the system uses to place the sales order on hold when revisions to an order require approval.

The code that you enter can be AH or other values that have characteristics similar to AH. Regardless of the hold code that you specify, it must be set up in the Hold Order Constants program (P42090). The P42090 setup must be completed with a code type of L (line) and a limit type of A (amount).

12. Exclusive Adjustment Hold

Enter a value from UDC 42/HC that specifies whether the system places a sales order on hold when mutually exclusive price adjustments have been applied to a sales detail line and the conflict is not resolved. The system issues a warning if mutually exclusive adjustments exist. You can resolve conflicts by canceling or modifying exclusive adjustments using the Price History selection from the Row menu. If conflicts exist when the order is accepted, the order will be placed on hold if this processing option is populated.

The code that you enter can be AH or other values that have characteristics similar to AH. Regardless of the hold code that you specify, this code must be set up in the Hold Order Constants program (P42090).

The Inactive Customer Hold and Inactive Customer Search Type processing options work in conjunction with the Customer Status field on the Customer - Manage <Customer Name> form to determine whether orders that are placed for inactive customers are placed on hold.

See Activating a Customer Record for Sales Order Processing.

Display

These processing options control whether the system displays certain types of sales order information, such as cost and price fields and closed lines and kit components, and whether you can change the information.

Note. The processing options on this tab apply only to the Sales Order Entry program (P4210). If you use the Customer Service Representative Sales Order Entry program (P42101), the system overrides the Display tab options in the P4210 program by the Display tab option in the P42101 program.

1. Display or Hide Cost Fields

Specify whether the system protects or hides cost fields. Values are:

Blank: Cost fields appear on the form and the information can be overridden.

1: Cost fields are protected from change. If you protect the cost fields from changes, the costs are visible on the form but cannot be changed.

2: Cost fields are hidden. If you hide the cost fields, the cost fields do not appear on the form. However, the system still writes cost information from the Item Cost File table (F4105) to the Sales Order Detail File table (F4211).

The system retrieves default cost information from the F4105 table.

2. Display or Hide Price Fields

Specify whether the system protects or hides price fields. Values are:

Blank: Price fields remain visible and entry-enabled. You can override the information for this order only.

1: Protect prices from change. The unit and extended price will be visible on the form, but you will not be able to override the information.

2: Do not display price information. If you hide the price fields, the system still writes the price information to the Sales Order Detail File table (F4211).

3. Disable Pricing Related Fields

Specify whether the system disables pricing-related fields that affect the calculated price. Values are:

Blank: Pricing-related fields remain visible and entry-enabled.

1: Pricing-related fields appear, but you cannot override the information.

4. Disable or Hide Status Codes

Specify whether the system protects or hides status codes. Values are:

Blank: Override the information for this order only. If you enter status codes, they must be set up as another allowed status code in the order activity rules for the document type and line type combination. Additionally, combination of the beginning status and the next status must be a valid last status/next status combination in the Order Activity Rules table.

1: Protect the status codes from change. If you protect the status codes from being changed, the current and next status will be visible on the form, but you will not be able to override the information.

2: Hide the status codes. If you hide the status codes, the last and next status codes do not appear. The system processes orders based on the current and next status that is set up in the order activity rules.

5. Hide Closed Detail Lines

Specify whether the system displays active, closed, or canceled detail lines. During inquiry, you might want to review active order detail lines only. Values are:

Blank: Display all order detail lines on the detail form.

1: Do not display lines with a status of 999. However, the record for the line still remains in the F4211 table or Sales Order Detail - History table (F42119).

6. Hide Credit Card Information

Specify whether a user can access customer credit card information. Values are:

Blank: Enable access to credit card information during order entry.

1: Do not enable access to credit card information during order entry.

7. Hide Freight and Carrier Information

Specify whether the system displays freight and carrier information fields. You can standardize the freight and carrier information fields so that freight rate calculations are accurately calculated for the appropriate route, stop, and zone or that a preferred carrier is always responsible for delivering the item to a customer. Values are:

Blank: Freight and carrier information fields on the order detail form appear and can be overridden.

1: Do not display freight and carrier information fields on the order detail form. The system processes orders based on the default information that is set up in the Customer Billing Instructions or the Item Master Information.

8. Hide Commission Information

Specify whether the system displays commission information. Values are:

Blank: Display commission information and override default information that affects the current order only.

1: Do not display commission information. Orders are processed based on the default information that is set up in the Commissions Table (F42005) and cannot be accessed or modified.

9. Hide Kit Components

Specify whether kit components appear on the Sales Order Detail Revisions form when you reinquire on the order.

Blank: Display the parent item, as well as selected features and options, when you reinquire on the order.

1: Display only the parent line when you reinquire on the order. However, the parent line and all component lines are written to the Sales Order Detail File table (F4211).

Commitment

Use these processing options to activate availability checking and commitments to generic buckets. Based on the item availability calculations for each branch/plant, the commitment calculation affects how the system calculates backorders, cancelations, and customer delivery time.

To determine how the system calculates item availability, you define the factors that subtract from or add to the available quantity of an item. Factors that subtract from the availability of an item include sales orders and work orders. Factors that add to the availability of an item include purchase orders that are in transit and items in inspection. You define the various factors on the Availability Calculations form, which you can access from the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001).

1. Activate Availability Checking

Specify whether the system verifies the available quantity for requested items. Values are:

Blank: Do not perform availability checking. You might use this option for blanket or quote order entry.

1: Perform availability checking. If quantity is unavailable, the system issues a warning that the quantity for this item exceeds the available quantity. The system automatically backorders or cancels any quantity that is unavailable, based on backorder information that is set up in the Item Master, Item Branch/Plant, Branch/Plant Constants, and Customer Billing Instructions programs.

2: Perform availability checking. If quantity is unavailable, the system issues a warning that the quantity for this item exceeds the available quantity. However, the system does not backorder or cancel any quantity. The quantity remains shippable.

You can enable backorders by item or by customer, and you can specify whether the backorders are enabled for a specific branch/plant. To backorder an item, you must set the Backorders Allowed option in the Item Master, Item Branch/Plant, Branch/Plant Constants, and Customer Billing Instructions programs. If you enable backorders, the system holds the order detail line until quantity is available. If you do not enable backorders, the system cancels the order detail line.

After the system processes an order detail line, you can review backordered, canceled, and shipped information in the appropriate fields in the order detail lines.

2. Commit to Quantity 1 or Quantity 2

Specify the generic buckets to which the system commits quantities. This option is commonly used for orders that do not affect the item availability. You can use these buckets to anticipate demand or forecast future sales. For example, you can set up a version of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) for quote orders and commit quantities to bucket Quantity 1. For blanket orders, you can set up another version of P4210 and commit quantities to bucket Quantity 2. You can review availability information on the Summary Availability form. Values are:

Blank: Commit the quantity based on the factors that you define for sales orders on the Availability Calculations form in the Branch/Plant Constants.

1: Commit quantities to bucket Quantity 1.

2: Commit quantities to bucket Quantity 2.

If the system neither adds nor subtracts quantities from these orders from available inventory, clear the Activate Availability Checking processing option on the Commitment tab of the Sales Order Entry program so that the system does not perform availability checking.

3. Display Supply and Demand Inquiry Form

Specify whether the system automatically displays the Supply/Demand Inquiry form when quantity for an item is not available. Values are:

Blank: Do not display the Supply/Demand Inquiry form, and backorder or cancel the order detail line when quantity is not available. However, you can manually access this information from the Sales Order Detail Revisions form to monitor information about how many items are on demand, available in supply, and available to be promised.

1: Display the Supply/Demand Inquiry form when quantity is not available. The system uses the version of the Supply and Demand Inquiry program (P4021) that you enter in the corresponding processing option on the Versions tab.

4. Enter Allowed Lot Status Group to validate

Enter the allowed lot status group to validate. During sales order processing, the system validates the nonblank lot status codes against the user-defined status code values. If the nonblank lot status codes exist in the Allowed Lot Status table (F41081), then the system treats the user-defined lot status codes as blank and the on-hold item continues through the print pick slip, shipment confirmation, and warehouse location selection processes.

Currency

These processing options specify information about the tolerance percentage, the currency code for as if amounts, and the as of date for processing the exchange rate for as if amounts.

1. Tolerance Limit

Specify a tolerance limit for multicurrency orders. Use this to ensure that the currency amount does not fluctuate greater than the tolerance percentage as compared with the Currency Exchange Rates table (F0015). If you enter an option in the F0015 table to allow spot rates, you can manually enter or override an exchange rate during order entry. If the currency rate that you enter is outside this tolerance limit, the system issues a warning.

2. Currency Code

Enter the currency code in which the system displays transactions.

This enables you to view domestic or foreign amounts in a currency other than the currency in which the amounts were originally entered. Values are:

Blank: Display as if amounts in the currency in which they were originally entered. As if currency amounts are stored in temporary memory, and are not written to a table.

1: Display as if currency rates.

3. “As Of” Date

Specify an as of date for the as if Currency Code processing option. The system uses this date to retrieve the exchange rate from the F0015 table. If you specify a currency code in the Currency Code processing option and leave this processing option blank, the system uses the system date. A valid exchange rate between the domestic or foreign currency and the as if currency must exist in the F0015 table, based on the as of date.

Process

These processing options control whether the Sales Order Entry program:

Cross Ref (cross reference)

These processing options specify the cross-reference types for substitute, replacement, complimentary, and associated items. You create the cross-reference information in the Item Cross Reference program (P4104). Cross-references associate the internal item numbers with other internal item numbers or those from other entities.

1. Substitute Items

Enter a value from UDC 41/DT that the system uses to search the cross-reference information for substitute items. Substitute items are goods that are sold in place of the original item when you do not have the quantity on hand for the original item. This code is typically S in the Item Cross Reference Revisions program. You can use substitutions only for customers who, in the Customer Billing Instructions form, allow substitutes.

If you have a substitute item, the system displays a check mark in the row header and column. Optionally, you can access the Substitute/Complimentary Items form to sell the substitute item in place of the original item. If you enter a quantity for the substitute item, the system creates a second order detail line with the substitute item information.

2. Complementary Items

Enter a value from UDC 41/DT that the system uses to search the cross-reference information for complimentary items. Complimentary items are recommended items as part of the sale. Complimentary items are not free goods, but are sold in addition to the original item. This code is typically C in the Item Cross Reference Revisions program.

If you have a complimentary item, the system displays a check mark in the row header and column. Optionally, you can access the Substitute/Complimentary Items form to sell the complimentary item with the original item. If you enter a quantity for the complimentary item, the system creates a second order detail line with the complimentary item information.

3. Replacement Items

Enter a value from UDC 41/DT that the system uses to search the cross-reference information for replacement items. Replacement items are goods that are sold in place of the original item when you or the supplier discontinues an item. The replacement code is typically R in the Item Cross Reference Revisions program. You can create replacement cross-references only for those items for which the Stocking Type field on the Item Master or Item Branch Plant forms is O (obsolete) or U (use up).

4. Pricing for Substitute Items

Specify which price the system retrieves when you sell substitute items. Substitute items are goods that are sold in place of the original item when you do not have the quantity available for the original item. If you substitute an item, you can charge the customer the price for the item that was originally ordered or you can use the price that you set up for the substitute item. Values are:

Blank: Use the price of the original item, as defined in the Item Base Price File table (F4106).

1: Retrieve the price of the substitute item as defined in the F4106 table.

5. Promotional Items

Enter a value from UDC 41/DT that the system uses to search the cross-reference information for promotional items. Promotional items are goods that are awarded in place of the original item. This code is typically P in the Item Cross Reference Revisions program.

Versions

These processing options specify the version that the system uses when you select the associated option from the Row or Form menu on the Sales Order Header or Detail forms.

A preference is a piece of information that you define for a customer, an item, or any combination of customer (sold to, ship to, or parent addresses), customer group, item, and item group. The system uses preferences to override normal customer and item setup information when you enter orders.

To work with preferences, you must set two separate processing options in the P4210 program. Under the Preference tab, enter a 1 in the Preference Profile Processing field. Under the Versions tab, specify the version of the program in the Preference Profile (R40400) field that you have set up to select the preferences that you want to run.

1. Preference Profile Processing

Specify whether to use preference profile processing. If you use preference profile processing, you must use preference profile processing in all of the versions of order entry programs. Values are:

Blank: Do not use preference profile processing.

1: Use preference profile processing. After you activate this processing option, specify the version of the R40400 program on the Versions tab. In that version of the R40400 program, select the preferences in the processing options that you want to run.

Preference selection does not include the inventory commitment or print message preferences.

2. Inventory Commitment Preference

You use inventory commitment to specify that each order line be filled from one or more branch/plants, based on the customer or customer group, or item or item group. You can specify the branch/plants from which you want products shipped, determine the percentage of the order that must exist at a branch/plant before the quantity is filled at that branch/plant, or specify the mode of transportation and carrier information in the sales detail line. Values are:

Blank: Do not use the inventory commitment preference.

1: Use inventory commitment preference processing only for current orders. The system performs inventory commitment preference only for those orders that are inside the commitment window of the header branch/plant. Orders that are outside the window of the header branch/plant are future committed to the header branch/plant.

2: Use inventory commitment preference processing for all orders (current and future). The system performs inventory commitment preference for all orders, regardless of the commitment window of the header branch/plant.

3. Override Schedule For Advanced Preferences

Enter the override schedule for advanced preferences. Use this processing option if you are using the Advanced Preferences function and want to specify an override preference schedule for the system to use instead of the default preference schedule that is defined in the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001). If you are using Advanced Preferences, this schedule controls preference processing.

Note. Preference schedules can be modified only with the Advanced Preferences Schedule Revisions program (P4070), which you access from the Advanced Preferences menu (G40311).

Transfers

These processing options determine whether transfer order processing is active for this version of P4210. You enter a transfer order to ship inventory between branch/plants within the company and to maintain an accurate on-hand inventory amount.

The system automatically creates a purchase order based on the version of the Purchase Order Entry program (P4310) that you specify on the Versions tab.

2. Sales and Purchase Order Taxable

Specify whether the system applies taxes to sales and purchase orders. Values are:

Blank: Retrieve tax explanation codes and rate areas from the customer master. For direct ship, transfer orders, or sales orders with alternate sold to and ship to addresses, the system retrieves the tax explanation code from the sold to address and the tax rate/area from the ship to or deliver to address based on system setup. This rate can be overridden.

1: Do not reference the sales taxable or purchase taxable options that you set up in the Item Branch Plant program.

3. Mandatory Landed Cost

Specify whether a landed cost for a related purchase order is required. Values are:

Blank: Do not require landed costs.

1: Require a landed cost before entering the order. If you do not enter a landed cost, the system issues an error message.

This is helpful if the company sells from one location but fills and ships orders from another location, such as a central supply warehouse. An intercompany order is an order that tracks the transactions between the supplying and selling branch/plant.

1. Intercompany Invoice

Specify whether the system creates an intercompany invoice. An intercompany order is an order that keeps track of the transactions between the supplying and selling branch/plant. While the interbranch order is the sales order to the customer, the intercompany order is the purchase order to the supplying branch/plant to fill the customer's sales order. Values are:

Blank: Do not create an intercompany invoice.

1: Create an intercompany invoice.

2. Interbranch Order Types

1. Use Audit Log for Sales Order Changes

Specify whether to activate the audit logging process for sales order changes. Values are:

Blank: Do not activate audit logging.

1: Activate audit logging.

Note. You can override this processing option by using the Bypass Audit Logging field defined in the Customer Billing Instructions form. For example, if you set this processing option to 1 but Bypass Audit Logging was set for the customer who is specified in the sales order, then the system performs no audit logging for that order or any order for which that customer is specified.

2. Reason Code required for Sales Order Changes

Specify whether to require a revision reason code for sales order changes. Values are:

Blank: Do not require a revision reason code.

1: Require a revision reason code.

3. Approval process required for Sales Order changes

Specify whether the approval process is required on the changes that are made to the sales order.

The Use Audit Log for Sales Order Changes processing option on the Audit Log tab must be set to 1 to enable the approval process. However, you can enable audit logging without setting the Approval Process Required for Sales Order Changes processing option.

When approval process is required, the system does not record changes to the order. Instead, the system retains the original values and places the order on hold. The new values are pending in the Audit Log Transaction table (F42420) until an approval or rejection decision has been made. The new values are recorded for the order only if the order is approved. Values are:

Blank: Approval process is not required.

1: Approval process is required.

Volume Upsell

This processing option determines whether you receive an alert based on the tolerance percentage that you specify.

1. Alert for Volume Based Up-Sell within Tolerance

Enter a percentage of tolerance for the system to suggest an upsell. This percentage is based on the increase in quantity that the customer would have to order to meet the next level break.

Profit Margin

These processing options determine how the system processes profit margin pricing.

1. Enable Gross Profit Margin Pricing

Specify whether to enable the Percent Profit Margin column on the Sales Order Detail Revisions form. Enabling this column enables you to enter the gross profit margin percentage. Values are:

Blank: Do not enable entry of the gross profit margin percentage.

1: Enable entry of the gross profit margin percentage.

2. Adjustment Reason Code for Overrides

Enter a value from UDC 40/AR that identifies the reason that an adjustment was changed. The system updates this value to the gross profit margin price adjustment when the system calculates and updates the price adjustment with the amount that is necessary to achieve the specified profit margin percentage. This calculation occurs when the profit margin percentage has been changed manually in the Sales Order Entry program (P4210).

3. Resolve and Test Target Gross Profit Percentage

Specify whether to generate a warning if the gross profit margin percentage is outside of the range that you specified in the Target Gross Profit Preference processing option. Also, if the gross profit margin percentage is not within the defined margins, and the Line Level Margin Hold Code processing option is set, the system places the order on hold using the line-level margin hold code that you specified in the processing option. Values are:

Blank: Do not generate a warning.

1: Generate a warning.

Promotion ID

This processing option determines whether the system assigns a promotion identification number.

1. Default Promotion ID

Specify whether to assign a promotion ID number to a sales order line item to which a promotion ID number has not been manually assigned. Values are:

Blank: Do not assign a promotion ID.

1: Assign a promotion ID.

Note. If you set this processing option to 1, the system assigns a promotion ID from the Promotion Deal Detail table (F40P011). If the system locates multiple promotion IDs, it assigns a promotion ID based on the value from the Promotion ID Resolution Constant field in the F4009 table. The system might require more processing time to assign this ID automatically.

Order Promising

This processing option controls whether the system enables the order promising process and determines the mode of processing.

1. Order Promising

Specify the mode of order promising that the system uses to promise a delivery date for an order. Values are:

Blank: Do not use order promising.

1: Use the auto promising mode of order promising.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicEntering Cross-Docking Information

Access the SOE - Additional Information form.

Cross Dock Order

Cross-docking enables the system to directly allocate inbound inventory to a sales order. The system allocates inbound inventory based on date and priority.

Flag

Specify whether to enable cross-docking. The system associates items or order lines with cross-dock processing. This code might indicate whether an item or an order line is eligible for cross-docking, whether it was cross-docked, or whether it needs to be cross-docked. When it is assigned to an item or item-branch, this code indicates that the item or the item in the branch/plant is eligible for cross-docking. When it is assigned to an order line, this code indicates that the order line needs to be cross-docked. Values are:

Blank or 0: Cross-docking is disabled.

1: Cross-docking is enabled.

Priority

Specify the priority that the cross-docking system follows when assigning supply quantity to the sales orders. This priority indicates the sequence in which cross-docked sales orders are fulfilled for a given date. Sales order lines with a lower value receive a higher priority than lines with a higher value. The system performs only numeric edits on this value. If you do not specify a priority, or if the same priority is given to more than one order line, the orders will be fulfilled in the sequence of order number and order type.

Number

Enter the order number that identifies the supply order.

Type

Enter the type of supply order. Supply orders can include purchase orders, manufacturing orders, transfer orders, and so forth.

Click to jump to parent topicUpdating and Copying Sales Order Information

This section provides overviews of the process to update header information to the detail form, copying sales orders, and repricing, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the Process to Update Header Information to the Detail Form

After you enter the initial information on a sales order, you might need to update the header information. Most of the header information consists of default values from the customer master record and the address book master record, such as tax code and area, shipping address, and freight information. You can override this information when you enter an order or when you revise an order. If you need to change header information after you enter an order, you can ensure that changes to the header information are reflected in the detail information by updating the header information to the sales order detail.

Note. If you have set the Status Code Limit for Changes processing option on the Process tab in the P4210 program, the system propagates header changes only to detail lines that are not at the defined status.

To automatically load header changes to detail lines, you must set the Update Header to Detail processing option on the Defaults tab in the P4210 program to the automatically update setting. If this processing option is set for manual update, you must use the Populate selection from the Form menu on the Sales Order Header form to manually initiate the update to the detail lines. If the processing option is set to manual update and you do not select the Populate selection, the system does not update the changes to the header fields in the lines of the order.

Use the Define selection from the Form menu on the Sales Order Header form to review and revise selected header fields on the sales order and to update the detail lines when you make header changes. The system updates the selected header fields regardless of whether you are in auto or manual update mode. Because the system stores the list of selected header fields in a UDC table, you need to use this selection from the Form menu only when you want to change those header fields that are selected for update.

Note. When you make changes to the header fields Sold To and Customer PO, the system always propagates the changes to the detail lines regardless of how you set the processing options.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Copying Sales Orders

Frequently, a customer might order the same or similar items and quantities on a repeated basis. To avoid having to reenter all of the details each time the customer places a similar order, you can streamline sales order entry by copying both header and detail information and adding the information to a new sales order. Or to send the same order to another ship-to address or invoice another sold-to address, you can copy only the detail information and change the ship-to or sold-to information.

Depending on how you set the processing options, this information can differ between the original and the duplicate sales order:

The order number for the duplicate sales order is always different from the original order.

You can copy item information to sales orders from any version of the P4210 program. For example, you can set up the duplication processing options for the Blanket Order version so that when you copy order and line information from a blanket order, the system creates a new sales order.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Repricing

You can set up adjustments to reprice sales orders. You reprice sales orders to:

You set up repricing based on the amount of the order, weight of the items, or total quantity of all items in an order. In the definition for each adjustment, you must specify whether to use the adjustment for basket or order repricing.

You reprice the order using one of these three methods:

You can repeatedly reprice an order line. You must set the reprice processing options in the Order and Basket Level Pricing program (R42750) to enable order detail lines to be repeatedly repriced and repriced from scratch. You define the version of the R42750 program that the system uses in the processing options of the P4210 program.

The Re-Price From Scratch processing option enables the system to delete all existing price adjustments before reapplying price adjustments for each sales order detail line. If you set this processing option to 1, the system deletes all order and basket level adjustments before the system reprices the lines. If you leave this processing option blank, the system does not remove the basket and order level adjustments and may duplicate price adjustments on the detail line. If you set the Re-Price From Scratch processing option to 1, you must also set the Repeat Reprice processing option to 1. Setting the processing options together ensures that the system can reprice a detail line multiple times and deletes all adjustments each time before reapplying pricing.

See Working with Repricing.

Specify the version of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) that the system uses to update the Sales Order Detail File table (F4211). The system uses the processing options of this version when it processes sales order detail lines in this program.

If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses version ZJDE0001.

Update Options

Use these processing options to specify how the system updates sales orders.

1. Repeat Re-Price

Specify whether to process a sales order detail line through order and basket level pricing multiple times. Values are:

Blank: The system awards basket and order level adjustments only the first time you run the program.

1: The system awards basket and order level adjustments each time you run the program.

The Re-Price From Scratch processing option works in conjunction with this processing option. If you want to reprice from scratch, you must set this processing option to 1.

2. Extended Term Preference

Specify whether to process the extended term preference for simple baskets. If an extended term preference is valid for a sales order and this processing option is 1, the system applies the extended term preference to the extended term of the sales order. If you manually enter the payment terms during sales order entry, the system does not replace the payment terms for the sales order line with an extended terms preference value.

3. Extended Term Payment Comparison

Specify whether to replace the payment terms on a sales order line with an extended terms preference value. Values are:

Blank: The system selects a payment terms code with a greater discount percent. For example, if the payment terms discount is 2% 10, Net 30 Days, the system replaces only the discount with a payment terms code with a discount greater than 2 percent.

1: The system selects a payments terms code with the greater amount of discount days. For example, if the payment terms discount is 2% 10, Net 30 Days, the system replaces the discount with a payment terms code with discount days that are greater than 10 days.

2: The system selects a payment terms code with the greater net days to pay. For example, if the payment terms discount is 2% 10, Net 30 Days, the system replaces the discount with a payment terms code wherein net days to pay is greater than 30 days.

If you manually enter the payment terms during sales order entry, the system does not replace the payment terms for the sales order line with an extended terms preference value, regardless of the selection method.

Process

Use these processing options to determine how the system processes existing price adjustments and free goods.

1. Re-Price From Scratch

Specify whether the system removes existing price adjustments before it reapplies price adjustments to a sales order detail line. For example, if you set this option to 1, the system reprices a line after any existing basket and order-level adjustments are removed. The system then reevaluates the sales order detail lines for any basket and order-level adjustment eligibility. Values are:

Blank: Do not remove existing basket and order-level adjustments. The system might award additional adjustments to the sales order detail lines.

1: Remove existing basket and order-level adjustments. Reprice the sales order detail lines. If you set this option to 1, you must also set the Repeat Re-Price processing option on the Update Options tab to 1.

Warning! If you leave this processing option blank, but set the Repeat Re-Price option to 1, the system might award the same basket adjustment multiple times to the same detail line, or the same order-level adjustment multiple times.

2. Preserve Free Goods

Specify whether the system retains free goods on sales orders. Values are:

Blank: The system cancels existing free goods and adds new ones, if applicable.

1: The system retains existing free goods, and does not add new free goods.

Click to jump to parent topicEntering Sales Orders with Templates

This section provides an overview of the use of templates with order processing, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to enter a sales order using a template.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the Use of Templates with Order Processing

You can use templates to enable speed order processing by displaying a customer's most frequently ordered items. A template is a system-generated list based on the past orders of customers. Using templates reduces errors and redundant data entry.

You can set up a default template that you can use for any customer, set up customer-specific templates, and select from any available template that is set up on the system. The processing options for the P4210 program enable you to specify a default template to use or whether to retrieve the template based on the sold-to or ship-to address from the customer's billing instructions. The system displays the Order Template form when you enter the sales order using the P4210 program. If the customer has a template set up, the system retrieves and displays that template during order entry. If the customer does not have a template, the system displays the default template.

You can complete order information using templates in this way:

Click to jump to parent topicEntering Substitute, Associated, and Promotional Items

This section provides an overview of substitute, associated, and promotional items, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to enter substitute, associated, and promotional items.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Substitute, Associated, and Promotional Items

If only part of the quantity for an item is available, you can use a substitute item to provide the quantity that you need to complete an order. For example, a customer orders a standard bike chain, but you find that bike chains are backordered. You can specify a substitute item, such as an equivalent bike chain from another manufacturer, to fill the order.

Substituting an item on a sales order cancels any quantities that are backordered for the original item . After you add a substitute item, the original order line displays a Canceled by Substitution status, and the new order line displays a Sold as a Substitute status. Order lines display the split between the original and the substituted items. Use substitutions to replace obsolete items on a sales order if the item and a replacement are set up within the Item Cross Reference File table (F4104).

You can use associated items to sell additional items to the customer that complement what the customer originally ordered. If the company sells items in association with each other, you can set up the system to prompt you before adding the associated items to the order. For example, you can associate a tire pump with a tire repair kit. When you enter the item number for tire pump on a sales order, the system displays a check mark in the row header and column to indicate that associated items exist. If you want to add the associated item, such as the tire repair kit, the system adds the order detail line to the sales order.

You can use promotional items to market a new item, reduce inventory, or increase sales. Examples of promotional items include:

You specify prices for new items according to the price indicators that you assign using cross-reference information. You can establish only one promotional item for an item at a time. For promotional items, the system automatically replaces the original item with the promotional item and cancels the original item order line.

You activate the system to check for substitutions, and for associated, replacement, and promotional items in the cross-reference processing options for the P4210 program.

You can set up substitute or complimentary items during sales order entry by selecting Item XRef from the Form menu in the Substitute/Complimentary Items program (P42260). You can specify that the system offer the best or lowest price. This price is the lowest price after applicable promotions or discounts. The best price can also be the price of the original item or the price of the substitute item.

After you enter a detail line, the system indicates additional information processing. For substitute and complimentary items, the system displays a check mark in the row header and column and displays a warning. For promotional items, the replacement is automatic.

Click to jump to parent topicUsing Customer Segment Based Selling

This section provides an overview of how to use customer segment based selling on sales orders, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to add customer buying segment items to sales orders.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding How to Use Customer Segment Based Selling on Sales Orders

Customer segment based selling is a technique that enables you to group customers into buying segments based on the customers' buying habits. Buying segments are UDCs (42B/BS) that represent groups of similar products, and you assign buying segment codes to the customers. By grouping customers who buy similar products into buying segments, you can potentially increase sales by suggesting items during sales order entry that other customers in the same segment have purchased.

The Customer Segment Items program (P42440) enables you to review a list of items that customers who belong to the same buying segment have purchased. While you are entering a sales order for a customer, you also can specify a quantity.

You can access the Customer Segment Items program in two ways:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicPrerequisites

Click to jump to parent topicCreating Volume-Based Upselling Prices

This section provides an overview of volume-based upselling, lists prerequisites, and lists the forms used to create volume-based upselling prices.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Volume-Based Upselling

If you want to recommend that customers purchase a larger quantity to receive a lower price, you can specify adjustments and a percentage tolerance that determine when the system issues a notification that an order line qualifies for an upsell notification.

To activate upselling notifications, you must enter a tolerance percentage in the Alert for Volume Based Up-Sell within Tolerance processing option on the Volume UpSell tab in the P4210 program. This tolerance percentage specifies how sensitive the system is when issuing the notification. The system checks for upsell opportunities by increasing the quantity that is ordered on the sales order line by the upsell percentage that you specify, and then determines whether another quantity break is achieved using the increased quantity.

For example, assume an upsell adjustment has a quantity break specified for 10 each (EA) with the tolerance percentage set to 15 percent. If you enter a qualifying order for 9 EA, the system displays the upsell alert because 9 EA increased by 15 percent equals 10.35 EA, which qualifies for the next level break on the adjustment. In this case, if you set the tolerance percentage to 10 percent, the system does not display the upsell alert, because 9 EA increased by 10 percent equals 9.9 EA. In this example, you use this calculation:

(Quantity Ordered × Tolerance percent) + Quantity Ordered

(9 × 15 percent) + 9 = 10.35

The system uses the Price Adjustment Type table (F4071) to process volume-based upselling information.

Creating Volume-Based Upselling Prices

When the system issues the volume-based upselling notification, you can view this information on the Adjustment Type Quantity Breaks form and create upselling prices for sales orders and price history. When you select a new level break, the system changes the quantity for that order line to the amount required for the new level break in sales order entry. Additionally, the system searches for new line-level price adjustments that were not applied during the initial order due to lack of quantity. If a sales order has several adjustments with opportunities for an upsell, the system displays a list of the adjustments, as well as the level breaks for the adjustment, if you select it.

Click to jump to parent topicPromising Orders in Sales Order Entry

This section provides an overview of order promising and discusses how to select the promised delivery dates.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Order Promising

You activate order promising by completing the processing option on the Order Promising tab for the Sales Order Entry program (P4210).

You use the order promising feature to track supply and demand history and to calculate either an available-to-promise (ATP) or capable-to-promise (CTP) delivery date when you enter a sales order. When determining the promise date for an order, the system performs an ATP or CTP calculation and enters the result into the Scheduled Pick Date field on the Display Before Accept form. The system also calculates the delivery lead time and adds the result to the Scheduled Pick Date, the Promised Ship Date, and the Promised Delivery fields. The promised delivery date is the date when the customer receives the order.

Order promising calculates on an item-by-item basis for each detail line in the sales order. Any time the order changes, the system updates tables immediately so that subsequent orders reflect actual supply and demand.

When entering sales orders that require an ATP or CTP date, remember that the steps to enter order header and order detail information are the same. Order promising is a feature in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system and can be used with these processes and options:

Generating Delivery Proposals with Order Promising

Order promising can generate several delivery proposals to meet a customer's requested date of delivery for an order. After you have entered header and detail information, you initiate order promising. Then you select the auto promise mode. The system uses XAPI (external application program interface) functions to initiate, update, and send the request to promise.

While the system is sending this information, you cannot modify the open sales order.

When you select the auto promise mode to promise a delivery date, the system generates several proposals, automatically selects the one with the earliest delivery date, and then supplies that date.

Configuring Order Promising Proposals

You can configure the options that order promising considers as the system creates delivery date proposals. Proposals can be very restrictive or very flexible, depending upon how you enter the customer's information and the sales order information.

Order promising uses default information from existing system setup whenever possible.

This table outlines the codes, fields, and values that order promising uses for proposal data:

Code, Field, or Value

Indications

Business Objective

Which set of inclusion rules does the system use to promise the order?

Order promising uses the default information from the customer's billing instructions to associate a business objective with the customer.

Partial Order Shipments Allowed

Can line items be shipped on different dates?

Order promising uses the default information from the billing instructions in the Customer Master table.

Backorders Allowed

Can line items be shipped later than the requested date?

Order promising uses the values from the customer billing instructions and the Branch/Plant Constants form. The Backorders Allowed option must be enabled on both forms for the system to allow backorders.

Partial Line Shipment Allowed

Can line item shipments be split?

Order promising uses the default information from the billing instructions in the Customer Master table.

Substitutes Allowed

Will the customer accept substitute items?

Order promising uses the default information from the billing instructions in the Customer Master table.

Multi-Sourcing Allowed

Can items be shipped to a customer from different branch/plants?

The system determines a customer's preference for single source branch/plant delivery through the setup of order promising. Otherwise, the system allows multisourcing.

Shipping Group

Is the item to be shipped as part of a group that must ship together on the same date?

If the customer requests a shipping group, you can indicate that preference in the Order Promising Scenario Manager.

Planning Unit of Measure

What is the smallest possible planning unit of measure that can be shipped as part of an order?

The system uses the unit of measure that is entered in the sales order. Order promising never suggests a delivery proposal with a fraction of the unit of measure that you enter on the sales order.

If you are using order promising to calculate ATP or CTP delivery dates, select Order Promising and then select Auto Promise from the Form menu on the Sales Order Detail Revisions form.

The system generates delivery proposals to meet the customer's requested delivery date.

Order Promising UDCs

UDCs enable you to specify the way the system operates order promising. You can create different versions of the P4210 program to support the different modes of generating delivery date proposals and displaying orders. Use the following UDCs in the P4210 processing options:

Click to jump to parent topicGenerating the Audit Log and Approval Processing

This section provides overviews of the audit log and approval processing, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to review the audit log.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding the Audit Log

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system provides a method of reviewing and tracking manual changes that have been made to an order. Provided that you have activated the appropriate processing options, the system creates a revision for every manual change that you make to sales order information and enables you to review information about the changes when you access the Order Revision History program (P42420). You can review the revision number during order entry. The system creates a new revision number each time a user changes an order. You can access the Order Revision History program when you are working with these programs:

The Order Revision History program provides these types of information about an order:

The system also creates an audit log for the change. The system stores information about all changes in the Audit Log Transaction table (F42420). The audit log contains information such as the user ID of the person who made the change and a reason code that describes why the change was made, provided that you have set the processing option accordingly.

Although you can track changes for most of the customers, you may want to bypass the generation of the audit log for specific customers by setting the Bypass Audit Logging option on the Billing Information form.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Approval Processing

Approval processing is a workflow process that enables you to control whether manual changes to certain types of sales order information require approval. JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides a default workflow process for sales order entry (JDESOCHNG), which you can customize to meet the business requirements.

You can activate approval processing through the Approval process required for Sales Order changes processing option in the P4210 program. However, to use approval processing, you must also activate the audit log.

When a user changes information for an existing sales order detail line, the system alerts the user in the P4210 program that the change must be approved before the order can be processed. The system uses the JDESOCHNG workflow process to:

  1. Place the order on hold.

  2. Send the approval request through the work center of the system to the person responsible as defined in the Order Hold Information program (P42090).

  3. Write a record of the order in the Held Orders table (F4209).

  4. Process the approval based on whether the change has been approved or rejected.

  5. Record the approval processing information in the Audit Log Transaction table.

After the change has been accepted or rejected, the system continues using the workflow process to remove the order hold and notify the user who initiated the change with a message in the work center of the system that indicates whether the change was accepted or rejected.

You can require approvals for manual changes to these types of information:

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne provides you with default code AH (Approval Hold), which is set up in UDC (42/HC), to use for approval processing. You can add other approval hold codes provided that you specify a special handling code of 1. If you want to use the default code, AH, verify these settings in the Order Hold Information program:

If you need to customize the workflow process, you must use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system Process Modeler tool.

Click to jump to parent topicEntering Orders for Kits and Configured Items

This section provides overviews of kits, kit processing, and configured items, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Kits

You can enter sales orders for kits and configured items. A kit is a collection of inventory items, called components, that are associated with a description name, called a parent item. For example, you store several computer components, such as the monitor, hard drive, keyboard, and mouse. When you sell the items, you sell them collectively as a computer system.

When you enter a sales order for an item number that is a kit, the system displays the Kit Selection window automatically. You can review the preselected items and quantities that make up the kit. You can also select any optional items that you want to include on the sales order. The system backorders the entire kit if any of the components are backordered.

When you add a kit to a sales order, the system assigns a kit ID to all lines, including the parent. The system uses the kit ID as a sorting value to ensure that kit parents and components appear together on documents, such as pick slips and invoices.

If you cancel a parent item, the system cancels the shippable quantity for component lines that are associated with that kit parent.

Kit Components

This table describes inventory items that typically make up a kit:

Inventory Item

Description

Parent item

The assembled item. Generally, the system does not carry inventory for a parent item. You must set up a parent item in the Item Master and designate it with a stocking type of K for kit. The Item Master determines how the system calculates the price.

Components

The actual inventory items that are contained in the kit. You set up components in the Item Master as regular stock items.

Features and options

Additional items for the kit. Feature items have a stocking type of F (feature). The system recognizes feature items as second-level parent items because the system does not carry inventory for the feature items. You set up the actual inventory items in the bill of material.

Kit Example: Feature

Assume that a kit consists of a stereo, which is the parent item, and these components and options:

Kit parent and component example

Assume that a compact disk (CD) player is a feature in the kit. With a feature, you can select one of these options:

Item Cross-Reference

You can perform item cross-reference checking for kit component items from the Kit Selection form. When an availability problem exists on a sales order, the system searches for the existence of a substitute item using the values set in the Cross Reference processing options of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210). The system provides visual notification that a substitute item exists by displaying a check mark within the grid. If you select the substitute item, the system cancels the portion of the original component line that you replaced or substituted. The system also provides visual notification for obsolete and use-up components by displaying a warning message.

You can access the Item Cross Reference form and search for substitutions or replacement items from the Kit Selection form. The system returns the quantity that you enter on the Item Cross Reference form to the sales order for the replacement item.

When you select a cross-reference item for a required component, the system assigns the required attributes to the new line and makes the original line available for deselection. Instead of canceling the remaining quantity of the original component item, you can select to not include the original component in the kit by deselecting the item. If a partial substitution occurs, the system processes the replacement items separately from the original items. You can review the revised kit components using the View Kit Components program (P420112). The P420112 program enables you to review the substituted items along with the standard components that were selected without re-exploding the kit bill of material.

Note. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system does not support complimentary and promotional items for kit components.

Blanket and Quote Orders

You can create blanket and quote orders for kit items, just as you do for a standard stocked item. The system displays the Kit Selection form during order entry to enable you to select the kit components for the blanket order.

When you release the kit from a blanket order, the system copies the selected components from the blanket to the sales order and does not display the Kit Selection form. The system uses the processing options of the P4210 program to determine how to process single and multiple blanket orders during sales order entry. If you have multiple blanket orders that exist for a customer for a kit item, the system either prompts you to select the appropriate blanket order during sales order entry or selects the blanket order based on the cancel date. The system creates a separate detail line on the sales order for the quantity selected from each blanket order.

If you do not manually select or enable the system to automatically select the blanket order during sales order entry, the system displays the Kit Selection form. You must release the blanket order for the kit parent item and not the individual components. The system maintains the quantity open on the kit parent item only.

The system updates changes to the parent quantities on the blanket order. If you make changes to components during order release, the system does not update the original blanket or quote order.

Pricing

You can change quantity and price information for the parent item on kit orders. The system recalculates the price, and any price changes affect only the current order. You make permanent price changes in the base price records. You cannot change the price or exchange rate information on kits after a component has been processed individually.

The system processes detached adjustments at the kit parent level when you set the Kit/Configurator Pricing Method field in the Item Master table (F4101) to 1, Total Components List Price, or 2, List Price of Final Kit. When you set the Kit/Configurator Pricing Method field to 4, Components Discounted Prices, the system processes detached adjustments at the individual component level.

Work Orders for Kits

If you create a work order for a kit during sales order entry, the parent item can be built and stocked in inventory after you process and complete the work order. When you process and complete the work order, the system subtracts the components from the on-hand quantity, then adds the parent item into on-hand quantity in inventory. This is the only time that a parent kit item is stocked in inventory.

See Managing Work Order and Rate Schedule Information.

Kit Restrictions

These preferences do not function with kit items:

You cannot enter kit information on a direct ship or transfer order. To enter an order for kits, use the regular sales order entry programs to process kits.

You cannot set up automatic freight calculations for the parent item. You must set up automatic freight calculations for each component for the system to calculate the appropriate charge.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Kit Processing

When you advance kits through the steps of the sales order process, you can manage kits from both a parent and component level. The system enables you to ship components individually, allocate components across locations or lots, release components from backorder individually, and invoice components separately from the parent.

You can process partial quantities of parents or components within the Shipment Confirmation (P4205) and Backorder Release (P42117) programs without losing kit integrity. The system balances the kit quantities when you process a parent as a whole, even when components have already been processed individually. Quantity recommendations reflect the shipments of components during subsequent shipments of the parent item. The system rounds the quantities based on the setting in the Round to Whole Number field in the Item Master program.

The Kit Balance Window program (P42055) enables you to review, modify, and confirm the recommended quantities of components to satisfy the transaction of a kit parent. The Kit Balance Window form displays the current transaction information for the kit parent item in the header area for reference purposes. The grid area of the form includes the remaining quantities for each component. For reference purposes, the system also displays any components previously processed separately from the kit parent on a separate tab.

The P42055 program enables you to override the calculated recommended quantities for a component, if necessary. You can increase the component quantity up to the ordered quantity, but you cannot ship more than the ordered quantity. If you need to ship additional components, you need to enter a separate line on the sales order for the individual component item.

You can change quantity and price information for the parent item on kit orders during order entry. The system recalculates the price and applies the price to the current order. Any price changes made during order entry affect only the current order. You make permanent price changes in the base price records.

When you modify fields on the kit parent line item on the sales order, the system updates the current list of components depending on the statuses of the components items and whether the components have been processed individually. The system either uses data propagation logic or displays the Kit Selection form to update the changes to the component lines. Using data propagation logic enables the system to make the changes without displaying the Kit Selection form. To update the component items, the status of the parent item must allow you to change the kit fields.

Individually Processing Components

After a component has been processed individually from the kit parent, you cannot change the price and order quantity. A component is processed individually by shipping a component, changing the quantity of a component in the Kit Balance Window form, and releasing a component from backorder.

You cannot change the order quantity for the parent if you have shipped a component item separately. To increase the order quantity, enter a new detail line. To reduce the order quantity, cancel the remainder of the kit or cancel partial quantities using the Shipment Confirmation program (P4205). You can also cancel the remaining quantity of an entire kit and the associated components using the Cancel Line option in the Row menu of the P4210 program.

You can update the cost for each component item using the Sales Order Batch Price/Cost Update program (R42950). You cannot change the price or exchange rate information on kits after a component has been processed individually.

Canceling Kits

If you attempt to cancel a portion of the kit parent and quantities of one or more components have been previously processed, the system issues a warning. You should verify that you have invoiced any components that were processed individually before canceling the kit parent.

When you cancel a parent item, the component is invoiced at its unit price and the kit parent price is not evaluated. If the parent item is fully canceled in the P4205 program, the system does not display the Kit Balance Window form.

Kit Work Order Processing

You must process the work order through the Work Order Processing program (R31410) to attach parts and routings. When you process the order through the R31410 program, the system validates that the value in the Line Type processing option on the Sales/Config tab is set up as a text line type. This line type must be set up as a text line type to avoid writing journal entries for costs of goods sold and inventory for the components at the time of sales update. This also ensures that the system does not subtract components again during shipment confirmation or sales update.

See Managing Work Order and Rate Schedule Information.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Configured Items

In a manufacturing environment, a manufacturer assembles a large variety of end products from relatively few components. A configured item comprises different features that are requested by a customer. For example, if you manufacture and sell automobiles, you might offer the same automobile type with a variety of features and options, such as engine size or transmission type. When you set up a configured item, you define segments, which are the features and options, to represent characteristics of a configured item, such as an optional paint color or power type. You can also set up a configured subassembly within a configured item. For example, the configured item, automobile, contains a configured subassembly of the transmission.

Configured Item Orders

You manage the manufacturing and production process in conjunction with the sales to ensure that customer demand is being met. For example, if you manufacture and sell automobiles, you can offer the same automobile type with a variety of features and options.

You can use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system in conjunction with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system to sell items that:

When you enter a sales order for a configured item, the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Configurator system automatically prompts you to enter values for the segments of that configured item. A segment is a feature of a configured item, such as color, size, fabric, or power type. The system verifies each segment value against user-defined information, such as rules and UDC tables of choices. If the configuration is valid, the system processes the order.

After you enter a sales order and generate work orders for a configured item, use these programs in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system to complete the sales order processing cycle:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Recurring Sales Orders

You streamline order entry by creating recurring orders using the Recurring Order Entry form. By creating recurring orders, you avoid manually reentering orders that are always the same. You can have the system automatically reenter an order on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.

You can define the frequency that the system uses to process orders in this way:

After you enter a recurring sales order, you must process the order through the Recurring Orders Edit and Creation program (R40211Z). The system edits the information that you enter and creates orders on the designated date. To ensure the integrity of the data, the system creates sales orders for recurring orders only after the editing process is complete.

Any of the orders that contain errors remain in the batch receiver tables as unprocessed. You must correct this information and then run the R40211Z program again.

This section provides overviews of store-and-forward processing, master table download to the workstation, store-and-forward order creation, sales order upload to the server, batch sales order processing, batch sales order corrections, and batch-of-one processing, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Store-and-Forward Processing

Store-and-forward or batch order processing provides an efficient way to enter and manage a high volume of sales orders before they are processed in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system. For example, if you are at a remote site and do not have dedicated access to the server, creating sales orders locally on the workstation during normal business hours might be more productive and cost effective. Afterward, you can upload them to the server for processing during off-peak hours.

You can enter batch sales orders to provide these features for a fast-paced, high-volume environment:

Quick entry of large quantities of items

You need to enter only limited information because the system uses most of the default information from the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012) to create the orders.

Optimal information processing

You can generate sales orders during the day and process them later.

Warning! You must set up the next number functionality before you set up and use store-and-forward order processing.

The system transfers the header information that you enter to the Sales Order Header Unedited Transaction File table (F4201Z1) and detail information to the Sales Order Detail Unedited Transaction File table (F4211Z1). The information remains in those tables until you are ready to process the orders.

When you are ready to process multiple orders, you must run the Batch Edit and Creation program (R4210Z). The system edits the order information and transfers the data to the Sales Order Header File (F4201) and the Sales Order Detail File (F4211) tables.

You must run the Batch Edit and Creation program to generate the sales orders. After the system creates orders, you can make changes to any detail information on these orders on a line-by-line basis.

This diagram illustrates the store-and-forward process:

Store-and-forward process

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Master Table Download to the Workstation

Before creating sales orders on the workstation, you must download tables from the server using the Store and Forward Download program (P00140). These tables are necessary to create and validate transactions. For example, you must download the Address Book Master (F0101), Item Master (F4101), and Customer Master by Line of Business (F03012) tables to have the supplier information that you need to create sales orders.

You must ensure that data is present in all technical and business data tables except the F4201 table. If you download master tables to the workstation and data is not present, you can use the Environment Database Creation program (R98403) to download each master table separately. You should test the completeness of the download before disconnecting from the network. For example, you might create a sales order on the workstation.

Certain business data tables must reside on the workstation that you use for store-and-forward processing. In addition to the business data tables, you must also download the technical data tables. The following table lists the data tables to download to the workstation:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Store-and-Forward Order Creation

After you download the master tables to the workstation, you can create standard sales orders by using the store-and-forward environment. You store the sales orders on the workstation until you are ready to upload, or forward, them to the server for processing.

When you create sales orders that you store and forward , the system:

When you run the Upload Store and Forward program (R421011Z), the system checks the history fields for duplicate sales order numbers. If the batch order number is a duplicate, the system assigns a new number to the sales order and references the duplicate order number in the original order number in the F4201 and F4211 tables.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Sales Order Upload to the Server

After creating sales orders on the workstation, you must upload them to the server for processing using the Upload Store and Forward Transaction program (R421011Z). To do this, you must connect to the server and sign in to the normal production environment, and you must submit the job locally.

When you upload sales orders, the system:

The system creates a transmission upload report for all of the sales orders that you upload. Use this report to verify that the orders have been uploaded correctly.

Note. To maximize system performance, upload the sales orders during off-peak hours.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Batch Sales Order Processing

To process sales orders at a later time, you must run the Batch Edit and Creation program (R4210Z). The system edits the information that you entered and creates all orders at one time. To ensure the integrity of the data, the system creates sales orders for batch orders only after the editing process is complete.

Any orders that contain errors remain in the batch receiver tables as unprocessed. You must correct the errors and then run the Batch Edit and Creation program again.

On Work With Versions - Available Versions, select an existing version or create a new version to process batch sales orders.

When processing the sales orders that you uploaded, use the same program that you use to process batch input sales orders.

You can review batch status codes to identify where orders are in the process. The system uses these codes to identify the status of an order:

Status Code

Value

1

The transaction is available for processing.

2

The transaction contains errors.

3

The system is processing the transactions.

4

Upload transmission is active.

5

The system is unavailable and waiting for response from the server.

6

The transactions are complete and have been updated to the F4201 and F4211 tables on the server.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Batch Sales Order Corrections

After you run the Batch Edit and Creation program (R4210Z), you must correct both header and detail information for any orders that contain errors. If a discrepancy exists in the transmission, the system creates the order and places the order on a discrepancy hold. For example, the system places an order on hold if the transmitted extended price differs substantially from the system-generated price. You can review the hold warning on the report that is generated by the R4210Z program. You can release the order using the Held Order Release program (P43070). After you correct the information, you can run the R4210Z program again to process the orders.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Batch-of-One Processing

Batch-of-one processing combines the performance benefits of the store-and-forward model with the real-time updates of transaction data that is found in the direct connect model. Batch-of-one processing uses the store-and-forward process, but the system maps the work table to the server instead of locally.

This diagram illustrates the batch-of-one process:

Batch-of-one process

You can use batch-of-one processing interactively or in conjunction with subsystem processing. When you use batch-of-one with subsystem processing, the system writes a record to the data queue for each completed transaction, which triggers the subsystem to process the order. You can continue on to the next transaction while the system is processing the first order on the server. The system sends all error messages to the Work Center program (P012502). You can either set an option to be prompted when a new message is sent, or wait and view all messages.

When you use interactive processing, you can set a processing option in the P4210 program that prompts you to accept the order before the system processes the order.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicPrerequisites

To successfully store-and-forward orders, you must:

  1. Verify that the system administrator downloads the necessary technical master tables before you complete the steps to store-and-forward sales orders.

  2. Connect to the server and sign in to the normal production environment to download the master tables to the workstation.

  3. Select the appropriate environment in the Environment field when you sign in to the system. Click Details to access the name of the environment.

  4.  

  5. Set the processing options for the appropriate edit mode for the P4210 and Batch Edit and Creation (R4210Z) programs.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Entering Sales Orders for Matrix Items

In the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry, products often have a number of variations though they share the same basic properties. For example, inventory includes shirts and jackets.
