Print Order Control Report (POCT)

Purpose: Use the Operations Control Report to review the flow of order activity and merchandising activity for a period of time. This report provides a high-level overview of the fulfillment process, identifies potential bottlenecks or problem areas, and delivers an audit trail of order activity.

The system uses the Order Control Summary table to track the total figures used to build this report; see Reviewing Operations Control Summary (FLSH).

Periodic function to update backorder totals: You must include the PFR0062 periodic function as part of your periodic processing to have correct and up-to-date ending order balance totals on the report. This periodic function must be run at the end of the day, when the background jobs have ended. In addition to performing this update to the table, the periodic function also submits the ORDSUM job, which generates the Order Control Report using the current date.
