FTC - Suppress Backorder Notice for Due Date Changes (L65)

Purpose: Use this screen to control whether to generate a backorder notification for an order line if the due date for the next expected purchase order changes to a later date, or if the purchase order is canceled.

Yes/No field: Select this field to prevent generation of a backorder notice for an order line when you cancel the next expected purchase order line that might be able to fulfill the order line, or change the purchase order line’s due date to a date later than the order line’s Next BO date. The system does not generate another backorder notice until the order line’s Next BO date.

Unselect or leave this field blank to have the system generate a backorder notice for an order line when you:

• cancel the next expected purchase order line that might be able to fulfill the order line, or

• change the purchase order line’s due date to a date later than the order line’s Next BO date.

Example:

An order line is backordered, and the next expected purchase order that might be able to fulfill the order line is due 4/2. The order type has the Immediate B/O notice flag selected. The Next BO date for the order line is set to 3/23 at order creation; but, after you generate backorder notices, the Next BO date is set to 4/2. You cancel the purchase order or change its due date to 4/9. If this system control value is: • selected: the system does not generate a new backorder notice for the order line until the Next BO date of 4/2. • unselected: the system generates a new backorder notice for the order line the next time you use Generate Backorder Notices (GBOC).

Note: Regardless of the setting of this system control value, the system does not generate a new backorder notice because you change the purchase order’s due date to an earlier date, or if you make any other changes to the purchase order.
