47.1 Sales Order Counts Mobile Applications Overview
You use the Sales Order Counts enterprise mobile applications to inquire on the orders associated with a specific branch/plant in your organization. The intended user of these applications is a branch or warehouse manager who needs to determine what orders are awaiting fulfillment at their branch, plant, or location. However, the application can be used by any authorized personnel with a need to review order counts and information.
Using these applications, users can review details about orders, and can add text notes to the order. Besides the notes, all information for the orders is read-only.
Using these applications, you can select the different tabs to view order information based on the following criteria:
-
Orders by status.
-
Orders by hold code.
-
Orders by promised ship date.
-
Orders by item.
When you set up the applications, you specify in the processing options which version of the Sales Order Entry (P42101) and Customer Service Inquiry (P4210) programs that the system uses to retrieve and display sales orders. The mobile applications use the values in the specified versions of the processing options to determine the branch/plant of the selected user. If the system cannot determine a branch/plant, the application prompts the user to enter a branch/plant value upon entry. All inquiries done with these applications are specific to a branch/plant.
After installing the application, users can set up user preferences to specify how they want to view data on the Orders by Promised Ship tab. In addition to the 3 standard values shown on the tab (Past Due, Due Today, and Due Tomorrow), users can specify up to 3 additional due date values. These additional values are configurable, and can be used to show orders that are due within a specified number of days. For example, you might choose to set up the following 3 additional due date values:
-
Due in 5 Days
-
Due in 10 Days
-
Due in 30 Days

47.1.1 Differences and Limitations: Sales Order Counts Mobile Applications
Mobile applications are intended to be a simplified version of the applications that are available in the base software. In most cases, these applications provide a subset of the functionality available in the base software.
The Sales Order Count mobile enterprise applications are intended to provide users with review capabilities for sales orders. With the exception of the ability to add a note to an order, these applications do not support the entry or update of sales orders.
Pie Chart Pieces Too Small to Tap
If the charts you are viewing with this application include data for many different types of orders, the pieces of the charts might be small and it might be difficult to tap the correct piece of the chart. To view the information that you want, tap any piece of the chart, and then select the type of information from the drop down menu on the next screen. The drop down menu will contain all values displayed in the chart, enabling you to select the correct value.
Language Support
Additionally, you should be aware of how a user's language preference can affect the search functionality for business unit and branch/plant records. See Section 1.2.2.1, "Language Support for Business Unit and Branch Plant Searches"

47.2.3 Setting User Preferences for the Sales Order Counts Mobile Applications
After installing the application, users can set up user preferences to specify how they want to view data on the Orders by Promised Ship tab. In addition to the 3 standard values that appear on the Orders by Promised Ship tab (Past Due, Due Today, and Due Tomorrow), users have 3 additional values that they can configure to display different due date ranges on the screen.
For example, a user might choose to display these six due date values on the Orders by Promised Ship Date tab:
-
Past Due (hard coded)
-
Due Today (hard coded)
-
Due Tomorrow (hard coded)
-
Due in 5 Days (configurable)
-
Due in 10 Days (configurable)
-
Due in 30 Days (configurable)
|
Note: When you enter your user preference information for the additional date values, you must enter the number of days in ascending order. For example, to show orders due in the next 5, 10, and 30 days, you must enter 5 in the Due in X Days (1) preference, 10 in the Due in X Days (2) preference, and 30 in the Due in X Days (3) preference. Entering the numbers out of order, for example 5, 30, 10, would result in unreliable data.Also note that these ranges are not cumulative. For example, if you set up the additional due date values as due in 5, 10, and 30 days, your application would display the following:
