Order Maintenance Selection Screen
Purpose: Use this screen to find an order for maintenance, or to advance to additional scan screens where you can select the order.
Customer Workflow Management window: The Customer Workflow Management Window automatically displays when you first advance to the Order Maintenance selection screen if open or in use ticklers exist for the sold to customer on the order. Select Ticklers at this window to advance to the Work with Ticklers Screen (sold to customer view) where you can review and work with ticklers associated with the sold to customer.
How to display this screen: Enter OEOM in the Fast path field on any menu or select Order Entry/Order Maintenance from a menu; then select Maintain Orders at the Default Values for Orders screen, the Select Customer Sold To For Order Screen, or the Customer Selection Screen.
If you are working within a company set up for cross-company scanning, you can scan for customers in any other company that has a similar setup in the Company table. See Setting Up Companies (WCMP) for more information on working with companies.
You can scan for customers across companies with the following fields:
• Postal code
• Match code
• Postal code, restricted by Company name
• Postal code, restricted by Customer name
When you scan on any of these fields, you advance to a subsequent customer scan screen displaying information, including the company code, for customers that match your entry. You cannot scan by Company name or Customer name alone; however, you can restrict your scan on Postal code by your entry in either field.
If you advance to Order Maintenance for a customer from a different company, all of the system control values from the new company will be in effect. When you exit the order, you will return to your default company.
Field descriptions: It is common to enter information in several fields when scanning for a specific order. For example, you might enter values in the Item, Order status, and Order date fields to review open orders entered prior to a certain date that contain a certain item.

Advancing from Customer and Order Scan Fields
Process: Depending on the field(s) you use for scanning at the Order Maintenance Selection Screen, you advance to a subsequent customer or order scan screen.
You advance directly to the Work with Order Screen in Order Maintenance when you scan from the Order # or Invoice # fields, or from the Tracking # if your entry is an exact match.
Orders that are not eligible for maintenance: You cannot maintain an order if its status is Suspended or Error, if it is a canceled pre-order quote, or if it is a store pickup order:
• Use batch order entry to work with orders in Suspended or Error status. See Introducing Order Batches for more information.
• If you select a store pickup order, the only available option is to cancel the entire order, provided you have sufficient authority. See Store Pickup Orders for an overview, and see Canceling a Store Pickup Order for details.
Customer Scan Screens in Order Maintenance
Customer scan screens display a list of customers matching your search criteria from the Order Maintenance Selection Screen. For example, if you entered a Postal code at the initial screen, you advance to a customer scan screen displaying customers sorted alphanumerically by postal code, starting with your entry. You can select a customer at customer scan screen in order to advance to an order scan screen.
Note: Customer scan screens do not display ghost customers, identified by the setting of the Ghost flag. These are customers who were merged during a merge/purge process.
How to advance from a customer scan field: Select a record to advance to an Order Scan Screens in Order Maintenance, where you can select an order for maintenance.
Order Scan Screens in Order Maintenance
Order scan screens display a list of orders matching the search criteria you entered at the Order Maintenance Selection Screen. For example, if you entered an Order cross ref # at the initial screen, you advance to a scan screen displaying orders sorted alphanumerically by order cross reference number, starting with your entry.
Ghost customers: If you enter the customer number of a ghost customer, the scan screen does not display any orders; this is because a merge/purge has assigned any orders using that customer number to the “target” customer. You can identify a ghost customer by the setting of the Ghost flag.
Choose an order by selecting Select for it. You advance to the Work with Order Screen in Order Maintenance.
A customer note pop-up window may open when you select an order for maintenance.
About this window: This window opens because of information you entered in a customer note for the sold-to customer on the order (not a recipient on the order). Specifically, you have entered a customer note that was flagged to display automatically when you select the customer for order entry or order maintenance.
Window contents: This window includes:
• customer name or Company name
• customer note text
For more information:
• setting up a customer note type that will display automatically when you select a customer for order entry or maintenance: Working with Customer Note Types (WNTY)
• working with customer notes: Edit Customer Notes Screen
A PayPal Warning window opens when you select an order for maintenance that contains a pay type with PPL (PayPal) defined as the authorization service and deposit service.
This window indicates that you should not make any changes to the order that would increase the order total. When you generate a pick slip for an order that contains a PayPal payment, the system validates that the amount required to generate the pick slip does not exceed 115% or $75.00 of the original authorization amount that was received from PayPal during web storefront processing.
Order contains a PayPal pay type. Activities that will increase the order total - adding a line, increasing a price, should not be performed.
Select Exit at this window to continue to order maintenance.
For more information: See PayPal Direct Connection Integration for an overview and the required setup.
When a user is entering an order or selects an order for maintenance, or when a function is updating an order, Order Management System locks the order by entering the user’s login ID or the function name in the User field in the Order Header table. If the User field is not cleared afterward, the order remains locked. For example, an order might be locked because the user’s session ended unexpectedly.
• If the order is locked, the system displays the Warning: Order Locked window. This window indicates the name of the user or process using the order, based on the current entry in the User field in the Order Header table.
To unlock the order, use the Unlocking a Stranded Order or Batch (MULO) menu option.
This window opens if you select to maintain an order that is in a suspended or error status or whose order type identifies the order as a canceled pre-order quote. In any of these situations, you cannot maintain the order.
See Entering Pre-Order Quotes and Maintaining Quotes in Order Maintenance for more information about pre-order quotes.
Maintaining Retail Pickup or Delivery Orders from the Order Broker
If you have authority under the Maintain Brokered Fulfillment Orders (B20) secured feature, a window displays a warning message when you select an open or held delivery or retail pickup order for maintenance, indicating that maintenance options are limited.
Secured feature: If you do not have authority under the Maintain Brokered Fulfillment Orders (B20) secured feature, you cannot maintain a delivery or retail pickup order received from the Order Broker.
Possible updates: You might need to maintain a retail pickup or delivery order to:
• Sell out an item that is no longer available: Order Management System sends a reject request to the Order Broker. The Order Broker then attempts to find another location to fulfill the order unless the order has already reached the Search retries maximum specified in Order Broker.
• Cancel an item that the customer no longer wants: Order Management System sends a cancel request to the Order Broker, indicating that the order should not be fulfilled. The Order Broker does not reassign a canceled order to another fulfilling location.
Caution: Certain updates are not appropriate for these orders, such as:
• changing payment information. When the system creates retail pickup or delivery orders, it uses the Order Broker Payment Type (K98). This is typically a “dummy” payment type if the order is fully paid in the originating retail location.
• changing the shipping address:
- A retail pickup order ships to the originating store location, so you should update the shipping address only if the address for the originating store changes.
- A delivery order ships to the customer. You should change the shipping address only after communicating with the originating location, so that the shipping address recorded for the order is consistent.
Returns: If the Suppress Returns for Retail Pickup/Delivery (L88) system control value is:
• selected, you cannot process a return against a retail pickup or delivery order or add a negative additional charge
• unselected, you can process a return against a retail pickup or delivery order; however, the Order Broker Payment Type (K98) is deactivated after shipment, so you would then need to enter a new payment method in order to process the related refund.
Note: Regardless of the setting of the Suppress Returns for Retail Pickup/Delivery (L88) system control value, you cannot enter a line with a negative quantity or apply a discount against a shipped order line on a retail pickup or delivery order.
Prohibited updates: Other updates are not allowed, such as:
• adding an item
• changing the ordered quantity
See the Order Broker Integration for background.
Maintaining a Ship-for-Pickup Order
If the Payment at POS for Ship for Pickup Orders (L60) system control value is selected and you are maintaining a ship-for-pickup order, you cannot:
• process a return against an entire ship-for-pickup order or a line on a ship-for-pickup order
• enter a negative additional charge
• enter a line with a negative quantity
• apply a discount to a closed order line
These restrictions apply regardless of whether the order type matches the Order Type for Special Orders (L15).
See the Order Broker Integration for background.
An error message window opens when you select an order for maintenance if its order type matches the ChannelAdvisor Order Type (L90). Changes to orders you process through the ChannelAdvisor integration are not sent to ChannelAdvisor. See ChannelAdvisor Integration Overview for background.
