Entering Self-Service Orders
This topic discusses how to enter self-service orders.
The PeopleSoft Order Management self-service features enable customers to enter and track orders. Although the pages are designed for external people who access the system, customer service representatives (CSRs) can also use the self-service Sales Order Entry component by clicking the Express Order Entry link in the left-hand navigation or on the CSR Desktop page. Self-service order tracking uses the same pages as the CSR version, but the functionality is limited. These components are simplified versions of the Order Entry Form component and the Order Tracking component.
You must set up customers as external contacts before they can use the self-service features. Establish self-service contact information in the Contact Information component.
Note: The Self-Service Sales Order permission list (EPOM1100), which is attached to the Customer role, is delivered in sample data.
To set up customers as external contacts:
On the Contact page in the Contact Information component, set the Contact Flag field to External.
On the Contact User Profile page, create a user profile:
Enter a user ID and a password, and then confirm the password.
Select the EPOM1100 process profile and EPOM1100 permission list tables.
Select the Customer (case-sensitive) role.
Note: Entering the user profile information here automatically inserts appropriate data into the PeopleSoft security tables.
On the Contact Customer page, assign the contact to appropriate customers.
On the Self Service Security tab, establish customer-level security options.
If you are creating a new user profile, define the default PeopleSoft Order Management business unit and default order group for the user ID.
On the Common Definitions User Preferences page, select Orders - Sales and then enter the default business unit value.

The Self-Service Sales Order Entry component resembles the Order Entry Form component, but it is less complicated. This component is designed for brokers and other salespeople who are comfortable with sales order entry.
Header, line, and summary information appear on the Sales Order Entry page. Links on this page enable users to access shipping information, update payment information, and print notes on the order acknowledgement, picking plan, packing slip, bill of lading, and invoice. Once all the necessary information is complete, users can view an order confirmation page where they can either modify the order or submit it. After a user submits the order, the order status changes to Open. Users can also cancel or change an order after it has been submitted. When a user cancels an order or order line, PeopleSoft Order Management first checks with PeopleSoft Inventory to ensure the order is eligible for cancellation before the system cancels the line. For partial-shipped order lines, the quantity is adjusted to match the shipped quantity, but the line is not canceled.
Most order processing (defaulting, pricing, freight, deliveries, tax, buying agreements, reservations, automatic sales order processing, and so forth) is the same as for the Order Entry Form component. The component enables the self-service customer to:
Create, view, and update orders only for customers associated with the contact ID associated with their user ID.
Change the unit price for an order line only if these conditions are met:
The contact associated with the user ID is tied to a broker customer ID (the Broker Customer option on the customer General Info page must be selected).
The broker customer is associated with the sold to customer that appears on the sales order (the broker customer acts as a broker for the sold to customer).
Edit only order lines, not schedules.
Override the ship to address but not the sold to address.
Enter payment and credit card information.
Create order header and order line notes.
Copy orders or order lines from purchase history.
Print a copy of the sales order or send an email notification.
Note: The self-service customer must enter a reason code when changing the unit price.
Edit only these fields:
On the order header: Sold To, Requested Arrival Date, Requested Arrival Time, Customer PO (customer purchase order), and Payment Method.
On the order line: Product ID, UOM (unit of measure), Quantity, Requested Ship Date, Requested Ship Time, Requested Arrival Date, Requested Arrival Time, Customer PO, Customer PO Line, Ship-to Customer Ship-to Location, Ship-To Address, Carrier ID, Ship Via, Freight Terms, Partials, Ship Prior, Cancel Backorder.
Use the Sales Order Entry page (ORDENT_FORM_LN_SS) to enter self-service sales orders, including header and line information.
