Generating Related Orders Through the Batch Program

Access the Rental Contract Related Order Generation program (R54R100) from Work with Batch Versions - Available Versions, and complete these steps to generate related orders:

1. Set the processing options for the program as needed. You can choose to run the program in draft mode first. You can also specify the date through which the system processes records.

2. Run the program in proof mode. The system generates the Rental Contract Related Order report (R54R100) in proof mode. Running the program in proof mode allows you to review the records processed, and the program and version used to process the records. The report includes the related order process date, which is the date associated with the Select On Date field in the Action Details table (F54R021).

   Note: Even if the Select On Date field in the F54R021 table is blank, the system still processes the action since a blank date is less than or equal to the value in the Through Date processing option.

3. Run the program in final mode. The system calls the Process Related Orders program (R54R110) that generates the related orders, and the related tables are updated:

   • For sales orders - Sales Order Header (F4201) and Sales Order Detail File (F4211)

   • For purchase orders - Purchase Order Header (F4301) and Purchase Order Detail (F4311)

   • For service orders - Work Order Master File (F4801) and Work Order Master Tag (F4801T)

   The system also generates the Process Related Orders report (R54R110).

4. Note that the status of the rental contract line has changed to 2 (Processed). This means that related orders have been generated for the rental contract line.
