Alphanumeric, 40 positions; display-only

Order #

A unique number that the system assigns each order.

Numeric, 7 positions; display-only.

St # (Ship To Number)

The number of the shipping address for the order. The system assigns a ship to suffix for each shipping address on an order.

Numeric, 3 positions; display-only.

Ln # (Line number)

The item's order detail line number.

Numeric, 3 positions; display-only.

Days old

Three status fields for the order detail line. These fields are:

Ordered

Numeric, 7 positions; display-only.

Reserved

Numeric, 7 positions; display-only.

Shipped

The total quantity of the item on the order line that has shipped to date.

Numeric, 7 positions; display-only.

Rsn cde (Reason code)

A code that represents the reason the item is on backorder. Valid values are:

blank = Order detail line is not backordered.

D = Item is a drop ship item that is not kept in your inventory, and will be sent to the customer directly from your vendor.

F = Item is a future order, as determined by the order's arrival date.

The system will not “tie-up” inventory that can be matched to current orders if the order will not ship for a period of time. The system uses the following calculation to identify future orders:

Arrival date - Reservation lead days = Date

The system will not reserve inventory if the system-calculated date is greater than today's date.

Normally, the Evaluate Future Orders program runs each evening during a periodic process to evaluate each order detail line identified as a “future” order. The system reruns the arrival date calculation and reserves inventory if the system-calculated date is less than or equal to today's date.

R = Item/Warehouse reservation freeze; the location from which the item will be picked is undergoing a physical inventory; no pick slips will be printed for this location until the location is counted and unfrozen.

 

I = No Item/Warehouse record or no allocate; you have not defined a warehouse for this item or the warehouse you have assigned to this item is a non-allocatable warehouse.

W = No warehouse specified; you have not identified the warehouse from which you want to reserve the inventory.

N = Non-allocatable warehouse; inventory cannot be shipped from this warehouse.

O = Not enough inventory available in the warehouse to fulfill the entire order quantity.

S = Not selected batch reservation; you are using Batch Reservation (as opposed to Immediate Reservation, which reserves inventory during Order Entry) and you have not run the Batch Reservation program.

 

B = Reservation bypassed; the customer is excluded from normal reservations (Immediate or Batch Reservation) based on the setting of the Hold/Bypass/Fraud field. You must reserve inventory on a selective basis, using the Interactive Reservation program to reserve or unreserve inventory. Typically, customers who buy in large quantities are set up to bypass reservation so that they do not deplete your available stock when they place their orders.

L = SKU Reserve limit exceeded. The customer has ordered a quantity equal to or greater than the item’s Reserve quantity. Any order quantity above this value will not be reserved by the Immediate or Batch Reservation program and must be reserved selectively through the Interactive Reservation program. You may define a Reserve quantity limit for items that you carry in limited quantities or for items that are in great demand.

U = Interactive unreserve; an order detail line can be unreserved when you upload an inventory transaction through the Generic Inventory Transaction Upload, or through Reprinting and Voiding Pick Slips (WVRP).
