Future Orders Item Status (E52)
Purpose: Use this screen to define the item status code used to select items for a future arrival date in Order Entry and Order Maintenance.
Code field: Enter the item status code used to select items for a future arrival date in Order Entry and Order Maintenance. The future arrival date defaults in the Arrival date field for this item. This is helpful if you have items that always future ship, for example, next year's IRS W-4 forms.
The system uses the date defined in the Default Future Orders Arrival Date (E53) system control value to default for future ship items.
Leave this field blank if you do not want the system to default a future arrival date to items defined with this status on an order.
Item status is defined using the Working with Item Status (WIST) menu option.
Since an operator may not notice that an item has been assigned a future arrival date automatically, you can use the Item Status Message Window in Order Entry as a reminder to your operators when a future ship item is ordered. See Working with Item Status (WIST) for more information on creating item status messages.
