Establishing Add Reason Codes (WADR)

Overview: Use the Add Reason Code table to establish codes for tracking the reasons you add items to orders in Order Entry or Order Maintenance. Examples of reasons for adding items to an order include:

• mis-shipments

• exchanges

• allowing the customer to select a different item or SKU for a backordered item

• the item is a warranty part

You might want to track this information to identify problem areas, and focus your training or quality control efforts.

Required when? The system requires an add reason code if the:

• Require Reason for Lines Added in Order Maintenance (D75) system control value is selected, or

• Required reason code flag for the item offer or SKU offer is selected.

Pop-up window: When an operator adds an item by selecting Create, entering an exchange, or adding a mis-ship to an order in order maintenance, the Enter Add Reason Window pop-up window opens.

Note: When the item is added automatically to an order through the order API, the add reason code is not required. For example, an item might be added to an order automatically if it is set up as a free gift by source code.

Report: You can review add reason codes assigned to new order lines with the Order Addition Audit Report.
