Overview: The following system control values affect how the system updates demand for orders.
If using multiple currencies: If you process orders in multiple currencies based on the offer (the Multi Currency by Offer (E03) system control value is selected), each of the dollar values that display on these screens will be converted into your local currency.
If using VAT and tax-inclusive pricing: If the Tax Included in Price (E70) system control value is selected, certain orders may be subject to tax-inclusive pricing and VAT. In this case, you charge the customer the tax-inclusive price for items on an order, and include a hidden tax amount on the order detail line for the item rather than including tax in the Tax bucket on the order. The hidden tax may be calculated as a percentage of the item price, or may be a fixed amount.
If you use VAT and tax-inclusive pricing, the dollar value that appears on most fields described in this topic will be net of any hidden tax for the item. In other words:
Total = (Tax-inclusive price - Hidden tax) * Quantity
In cases where you have defined the hidden tax to charge for an item as a fixed amount, it is possible for the order total to represent a credit if the hidden tax amount exceeds the item price -- for example, if you offer the item as an incentive or free gift.
Demand for order maintenance: Update Demand for Order Maintenance Transactions (C72): Possible settings are:
• Y: The system increases the customer's demand history (in the Orders buckets) for items you add or quantities you increase in order maintenance.
• N: Demand does not update for additions in order maintenance; however, all other order history updates, such as for shipments (in the Sales buckets), returns, exchanges, cancellations, and soldouts, will still take place. In this situation, the customer's life-to-date sales (or other activity) may be greater than the customer's order (demand) history.
Demand for non-inventory items: Possible settings are:
• ALL: All updates take place for non-inventory items in the same way as for inventory items.
• ITEM: The Order/Billing History record updates. Also, you will be able to review order records for non-inventory items at the Customer Sold To Item History Screen, Display Customer Item Class Screen, Display Customer Item Class History Screen (Reviewing Detail), and Customer Sold To Order History Screen (Reviewing Detail) in the same way as you review records for inventory items. However, the Customer Sold To Order History screen will not reflect orders for non-inventory items in the Life-to-date order total fields or the Last order amount.
• NONE: There are no demand updates for non-inventory items.
Track at entity level: The Track Customer History at Entity Level (F89) system control value controls whether a customer's order, item, and item class history is broken out based on the entity associated with each order. The system determines the entity associated with an order based on the source code on the order header.
If this system control value is selected, you can advance to additional screens to review entity-level history. If this system control value is unselected, these screens are not available, and all customer history is consolidated at the customer level.

The Entry/Maintenance code indicates the type of transaction performed on an item. The codes are:
• B = Billing
• M= Maintenance
• E = Entry
Examples: Examples of each type of transaction code are described in the table below.
Transaction Example |
Order/Billing History Update |
You enter an order for an item in order entry. |
The ORDR_ASYNC job creates an entry (E) transaction with the merchandise totals reflected in the Orders fields ($ ordered and Quantity ordered). |
You cancel an item and add another item |
The ORDR_ASYNC job creates a maintenance (M) transaction with the merchandise total for the cancel reflected in the Cancels fields ($ canceled and Cancels total #, and another M transaction for the new item with the merchandise total reflected in the Orders fields ($ ordered and Quantity ordered. Note: The Quantity ordered and $ ordered fields update for units added in order maintenance only if the Update Demand for Order Maintenance Transactions (C72) system control value is selected; otherwise, the M transaction will appear with these fields blank. However, the total amount and quantity billed still increase when you ship and bill these items. |
You then ship that item to the customer. |
The BILL_ASYNC job creates a billing (B) transaction with the merchandise total for the shipment reflected in the Sales fields (# sales, Quantity ordered and $ ordered). |
See Using the ASYNC Jobs (MBJC) for more information on the asynchronous (ASYNC) jobs.
Order/Billing History for an Order
There are two transactions for the return:
• a maintenance transaction for entering the return in order maintenance
• a billing transaction for crediting the return.
Note: For returns created as a new order line for a negative quantity, the system creates a billing transaction for the return only.
Regarding order/billing transactions:
• Transactions on the same day: Transactions for the same order, item, and of the same type (i.e., entry, maintenance, or billing) that take place on the same day are consolidated into one record.
• Adding items in order maintenance: If the Update Demand for Order Maintenance Transactions (C72) system control value is unselected, the order totals fields will not increase for any items you add in order maintenance. The maintenance transactions created in this situation will have no order quantities or amounts.
• Changing an item price: If you change the price of an item in order maintenance, you create a maintenance transaction with an order amount equal to the price change but no order quantity if the Update Demand for Order Maintenance Transactions (C72) system control value is selected; however, if this system control value is unselected, you create a maintenance transaction with no order quantity or amount.
• Exchanges: Entering an exchange in order maintenance produces three order/billing transactions:
- a maintenance transaction to reflect the change to the original item (with no quantity or dollar total);
- a maintenance transaction to add the replacement item (with order quantity and dollar total if you update demand for order maintenance);
- a billing transaction to credit the return of the original item (with exchange quantity and total).
• Item substitution: Processing a substitution through Processing Item Substitutions (PSUB) produces two maintenance transactions: a cancel for the original item, and an order for the replacement item.
Display Customer Order History Screen
Purpose: Use this screen below to review cumulative and current ordering information for a sold-to customer.
Note: Depending on the user’s authority to credit card information, the system writes a record to the Credit Card Audit table when this screen is displayed. See Logging Credit Card Data Access in the Data Security and Encryption Guide for more information.
Quotes: This screen does not include quote information for the sold to customer; see Entering Pre-Order Quotes.
How to display this screen: At a Work with Customers screen, select Order History for a customer; see Selecting Customers. Or select Order History at a Create, Change or Display Customer Sold To screen (see Creating and Updating Sold-to Customers (WCST)).
Field |
Description |
Customer # |
A unique number used to identify the customer you are reviewing. Numeric, 9 positions; display-only. |
Customer name (Unlabeled field to the right of the customer number) |
The name of the sold-to customer you are reviewing. Alphanumeric, 41 positions; display-only. |
The total dollar value of all open, unshipped orders for this customer, including charges for merchandise, freight, tax, special handling, and shipping. Cancels: This field subtracts the value of a canceled order/item. Soldouts: This field does not include the amount of soldout items on an order. Exchanges: This field includes the amount of exchange items on an order and is decreased once the exchange item ships. Negative order entry returns: The system includes the dollar amount associated with returns entered as a negative order quantity in Order Entry if the order total is a positive amount; in this situation, the system updates the On order with the positive order total. When the system ships the regular items on the order, the system reduces the On order amount by the shipped order amount. If the order total is a negative amount, the system does not update the On order amount. When the system ships the regular items on the order, the system reduces the On order amount by the shipped order amount. Example 1: If an order contains a return entered as a negative quantity for $30.00 and a regular item to ship for $50.00, the system updates the On order for the customer to $20.00 ($50.00 to ship - $30.00 for return = $20.00). Once the regular item ships, the system decreases the On order by the shipped order amount ($50.00). Example 2: If an order contains a return entered as a negative quantity for $60.00 and a regular item to ship for $50.00, the system does not update the On order for the customer ($50.00 to ship - $60.00 for return = $-10.00). When the regular item ships, the system decreases the On order by the shipped order amount ($50.00). Note: The On Order amount is not net of hidden tax; see Related System Control Values for more information on VAT. If you suspect the on order amount is incorrect, you can use the Resetting Customer Sold To Amount On Order (RONO) menu option to reset the on order amount. Numeric, 11 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only. |
|
The date of the customer's first order. The system uses the value in the Order date field in Order Entry. Numeric, 6 positions (in user date format); display-only, updated by the system. |
|
Note: Each of the Amount fields described below represents the actual purchase price of merchandise only after applying any discounts, price overrides, or other repricing. However, if you use tax-inclusive pricing and VAT, amounts described below are net of hidden tax. In addition, if you process orders by multiple currencies based on offer, each amount has been converted into your local currency. See the beginning of this topic for more information. The BILL_ASYNC and ORDR_ASYNC background jobs update order history; see Operating the Background Jobs for more information. Non-inventory items: The Demand Update for Non-Inventoried Items (E59) system control value controls whether the following totals are updated for non-inventory items. |

When you enter an exchange, the price of the exchange (replacement) item is added. If the Update Demand for Order Maintenance Transactions (C72) system control value is N, this field does not update when you add a detail line(s) to an order in Order Maintenance, including an exchange item. Cancellations: This total reduces when you cancel an order only if you enter a cancel reason set to update demand; otherwise, the orders amount remains the same and the Cancels amount increases. Numeric, 11 positions with a 2-place decimal; display-only. |
|
The number of shipments to the customer. This total may be larger than the orders quantity if the Update Demand for Order Maintenance Transactions (C72) system control value is unselected, and you have added any items to this customer's orders in order maintenance. If an order has partial shipments on different days, each shipment updates the sales quantity; however, if two shipments occur on the same day, the sales quantity is increased just by 1. Numeric, 5 positions; display-only. |
|
The total merchandise dollar value of orders shipped to the customer.
