Order Entry Secured Features

Purpose: The Order Entry secured features permit (*ALLOW) or prohibit (*EXCLUDE) user access to Order Entry/Maintenance functions that require authorization.

Order Maintenance Access (A22)

This feature controls whether the user can maintain an order.

Allow = the user can advance to order maintenance.

Exclude = the user cannot advance to order maintenance.

Related secured features: See:

Maintain Order with Printed Quantity (J05)

Cancel Order Broker Lines (B19)

Maintain Brokered Fulfillment Orders (B20)

Also, see Secured Features Controlling Access to Order Maintenance for an overview.

Price Overrides (A23)

This feature controls whether a user can override the price of an order line.

Allow = a user can update the following fields on the Work with Order Line Screen (Changing/Adding an Item) during order entry and maintenance:

- Price

- N/C (“No charge” flag)

- Ovr (Price override reason code)

- Offer price

Exclude = the fields above are display-only on the Work with Order Lines screen during order entry and maintenance.

Note: If a user without authority to override price under this secured feature enters an item that is specified as a free gift for the source or offer associated with the order, and the user enters the Default Price Override Reason (B35), the system adds the item to the order at the price override amount entered.

Additional Charges Access (A24)

This feature controls whether the user can add or modify an additional charge code on an order.

Allow = a user can add or modify an additional charge on the order by selecting Charges in Order Entry, Order Maintenance, and Work with Return Authorizations (streamlined version only). When the user selects Charges, the Enter Additional Charges Window opens so the user can select an additional charge code and specify the additional charge amount if there is not a default charge amount.

Examples of additional charges include a store-restocking fee, a duty fee, or long-distance telephone charges. Additional charges are defined in and validated against the Additional Charge table.

Exclude = a user cannot display the additional charges pop-up window. When the user selects Charges, a message indicates that the user cannot use the function.

C/C Authorization Field Access (A25)

This feature controls whether the user can enter an authorization number and amount.

Allow = a user can enter pre-authorized credit card transactions by entering an Auth # and amount. This feature is used primarily when:

- You do not use an authorization service to evaluate and approve your credit card orders.

- Your connection to your authorization service is not active.

If you use an authorization service, the system updates the Authorization # field when you receive the authorization.

Exclude = a user cannot enter an Authorization # and amount.

Modify Existing Messages (A30)

This feature enables a user to change or delete existing order or order line messages.

Allow = the user can change or delete existing order or order line messages.

Exclude = the user cannot change or delete existing order or order line messages.

Third Streamlined Order Inquiry Screen (Order Summary)

Discount Percentage Access (A39)

This feature enables a user to take a discount on an order in Order Entry or Order Maintenance.

Allow = the user may take a discount on an order, up to the amount defined in the Order Discount Percentage Limit (D16) system control value. To take a discount on an order, the user must enter the amount of the discount in the Disc % field on the Order Entry/Maintenance header screen.

Exclude = the discount field is protected. The system issues a message if the user enters a discount:

 

You are not authorized to use discount %.

 

Enter or Override Personalization Charge (A40)

This feature enables a user to add, change or delete a charge for custom special handling in Order Entry when the charge is established at the special handling format.

Custom special handling differs from standard special handling in that you can define a format with entry fields, valid and default responses, and pricing by individual features. You associate the custom special handling format with an item by defining an additional charge code for the special handling format, and entering that additional charge code for the item/SKU offer. You can also specify an override special handling price at the item/SKU offer for custom special handling. At the Work with Custom Special Handling Screen, charges that you specify in the item/SKU offer default to the S/H price field, while charges that you specify in the special handling format default to the Charge field(s). The Enter or Override Personalization Charge secured feature controls access to the Charge field(s) only.

Allow = the user can add, delete or change custom special handling charges on orders.

Exclude = the system issues a message when a user attempts to work with a custom special handling charge at the Work with Custom Special Handling Screen in Order Entry:

Not authorized to Enter or Override charge amount.

 

For more information: See Special Handling Overview for a discussion of the different types of special handling, and how the system controls access to the related fields and screens.

Convert Contribution Authority (A41)

This feature enables a user to convert a contribution to a refund.

The Method for Processing Overpayments in Order Entry (D70) system control value defines whether overpayments on prepaid orders are applied as contributions or refunded to the customer. You can also convert individual contributions to refunds through standard order inquiry or the Work with Contributions function. To convert a contribution to a refund:

Standard Order Inquiry (OIOM):

• select the order containing the contribution

• select Payments at the Order Inquiry header screen to review payment information

• selecting Contribution for the payment method at the Display Order Payment Methods screen to display the contribution

• select Convert to Refund at the Display Contributions Screen to convert the contribution to a refund.

Working with Contributions (WCON):

• select Convert to Refund for the contribution to convert it to a refund.

Valid values:

Allow = the user can convert contributions to refunds.

Exclude = the system displays a message when a user attempts to convert a contribution to a refund:

User Not Authorized to Convert Contributions to Refunds.

 

O/E Hold, Release Order Lines (A46)

This feature controls the ability to place or release a hold on an order line in Order Entry and Order Maintenance.

Allow = the user can place or release an order line hold during order entry or order maintenance by selecting Hold or Release for the item. If an order line is held (Status = H), the system does not apply pick slip preparation to the item.

Only open, unprinted order lines are eligible to be held. If you try to place a hold on an order line that has printed pick slips, a message indicates:

Line (x) cannot be changed - pick slips pending.

 

If you try to place a hold on an order line that has already been shipped, a message indicates:

Line (x) cannot be changed - not currently open.

 

Exclude = the system displays a message when the user tries to place a hold on (or release) an order line:

Not authorized to hold (or release) the order line.

 

Hold through special handling format? This secured feature does not control the ability to put a line on hold due through a special handling format flagged to hold order lines; similarly, it does not control the ability to release an order line by removing the special handling format. See Putting a Line on Hold through a Special Handling Format for a discussion.

Override Negative Additional Charge Limit (A60)

This feature controls the ability to override the dollar limit defined in the Negative Additional Charge Limit (E49) system control value.

You can enter negative additional charges at the Enter Additional Charges Window, which is available in Order Entry, Order Maintenance, and Work with Return Authorizations (streamlined version only) by selecting Charges.

Exclude = the system displays a message when a user attempts to exceed the dollar limit for an order:

Negative additional charge exceeds the limit for this order.

 

Additional charges that the system adds to the order (for example, through a promotion) are not included in the negative additional charge total.

Override Price Override Limit (A64)

This feature controls the ability to override the percentage defined in the Price Override Limit Percent (E55) system control value.

Allow Maximum Order Line Value Override (A69)

This feature controls the ability to enter an order line whose total dollar value exceeds the amount specified in the Maximum Order Line Value (E98) system control value.

Allow = a pop-up window opens in order entry and order maintenance informing the user that the order line total exceeds the specified maximum. The user must select Accept to add the line to the order. If the user selects Exit or OK, the line is not added to the order, and a message indicates that the order line exceeds the maximum:

Order line value of 800.00 exceeds maximum allowed in SCV E98.

 

Exclude = no pop-up window opens when the user enters an order line that exceeds the maximum. Instead, the screen displays an error message.

Allow Maximum Order Quantity Override (A70)

Exclude = no pop-up window opens when the user enters an order line that exceeds the maximum. Instead, a message displays.

Allow Number of Copies to Maintain in Catalog Request (A75)

Enter Amount for Order Additional Charge Code (A80)

This feature controls whether the user can enter an amount at the Enter Additional Charges Window, which is available by selecting Charges in order entry, order maintenance, and Work with Return Authorizations (streamlined version only). This feature also controls entry at the Change Additional Charges Screen, which is available by selecting Change for an additional charge at the Enter Additional Charges pop-up window. Authority to the additional charge code on all other screens or windows is not affected.

Allow = operators can enter or change the amount at the window and screen.

Exclude = operators cannot enter an additional charge code at the window or screen unless there is a default charge amount specified for the code.

See the Restrict Additional Charge Amount if Default Charge (F43) system control value, as this value also affects whether the amount field is enterable.

Override Deferred and Installment Billing Options (A81)

This feature controls whether the user can select a different deferred or installment payment plan to apply to the order other than the primary payment plan assigned by the system.

Allow = operators can select a different deferred or installment payment plan other than the primary plan assigned by the system to apply to the order.

Exclude = operators cannot select a different deferred or installment payment plan to apply to the order. The system:

- automatically assigns a primary payment plan to the order if the order is eligible for a deferred or installment payment plan and the payment plan is set to automatically apply.

- assigns the primary payment plan to the order if the payment plan is set to not automatically apply and the user selects the Pay plan field on the Work with Order/Recap Screen.

- advances the user to the Select Payment Plan Window, where the user can select the primary payment plan to assign to the order if the payment plan is set to prompt and there are no payment plans set up to automatically apply. An error message indicates if the user tries to select a payment plan other than the primary payment plan:

Not authorized to override payment plan.

Enter or Override S/H Price (B12)

This feature controls whether a user can add, change or delete the price for custom special handling in Order Entry when the charge is established at the item/offer or SKU/offer.

Unlike the Enter or Override Personalization Charge (A40) secured feature, which controls access to the special handling charges established for the special handling format, the Enter or Override S/H Price secured feature controls access to the SH price field only.

Allow = the user can add, delete or change the custom special handling price on orders. Also, the S/H charge field at the Work with Order Line screen is enterable when the order line is assigned a standard special handling format.

Exclude = the custom special handling price at the Work with Custom Special Handling Screen in Order Entry is display-only. Also, the S/H charge field at the Work with Order Line screen is display-only, regardless of the special handling format assigned to the order line.

Set Component Maintenance (J01)

This feature controls the ability to work change, delete, sell out, or cancel a set component in order entry and order maintenance.

- use the Work with Order Line Screen (Changing/Adding an Item) to work with a set component in order entry or order maintenance

Exclude = the system displays an error message if the user selects Change, Cancel/Delete, or Sell Out for a set component in order entry or order maintenance: Not authorized to change, delete, cancel, or sell out a set component.

Restrictions:

• This feature only controls actions the user attempts against an individual set component on an order. For example, it does not prevent a user from canceling the set master item itself. Also, if a set component item is added to an order through any other means besides ordering the set master item, the system does not prevent the user from updating the item.

• This feature does not control access to any other options for set components within order entry or order maintenance. For example, it does not prevent the user from:

- putting a set component item on hold

- performing a merchandise locator search for a set component item

- processing a return or exchange for a set component item

• This feature does not control additional menu options and processes that can update order lines. For example, it does not prevent a user from:

- selling out set components through Processing Auto Soldout Cancellations (MASO).

- canceling set components through Processing Item Substitutions (PSUB).

Display Reserved and Exp Date in OEOM (J02)

This feature controls whether the Work with Order Lines screen in order entry and order maintenance displays the reserved quantity or expected receipt date for items on the order.

Exclude = the Work with Order Lines screen in order entry and order maintenance does not display the reserved quantity or the expected ship date for any order lines. Also, the screen does not display the field labels (Rsv for reserve quantity and Exp for expected date).

This secured feature does not control the display of these fields on any other screens.
