Override Offer on Order Detail Line (D49)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether the system:

• changes the offer code for an item to the offer used for pricing the item, and

• tracks demand (number of orders and dollar value) for the item by the offer used for the item, not the order.

An order may include an item that is not available in the offer associated with the source code on the order. For example, a customer may provide you with the source code of your current catalog when placing an order, but order an item advertised in a previous catalog. When this happens, the system prices the item based on the most current offer where the item is available.

Yes/no field: If you select this field, the system overrides the offer code for the item and attributes demand for the item to the most current offer containing a price for the item. Even if you enter a different offer code when you add the item to the order, the system overrides the offer to the one where it actually found the price.

Example	Result
Item AB100 was included in offer 001 for $10.00, but this offer has expired. The item is also included in current offer 002 for $12.00.	When you add the item to the order, the system prices the item at $12.00 and overrides the offer on the order detail line to 002. Even if you entered 001 in the Offer field when adding the item, the offer would still be overridden to 002 and no message would display in order entry or order maintenance.

If you leave this field unselected, the offer code for the item defaults to the offer code associated with the source code on the order header, and the system attributes all demand to that offer. However, if you enter a different offer code when you add the item to the order, the override offer remains on the order detail line.

Important: If you have this field selected, then the Override Offer/Page/Alias on Order Detail (E72) system control value needs to be unselected. The two options are not compatible, since the Override Offer on Order Detail Line (D49) involves tracking demand based on the offer that provides the price, and Override Offer/Page/Alias on Order Detail (E72) involves tracking demand based on alias. See the Override Offer/Page/Alias on Order Detail (E72) for more information.
