7-Process

This section lists only the processing options on the Process tab that relate to subsystem processing.

2. Subsystem Processing

Specify a value to activate the subsystem to print the pick slip or invoice immediately after the order entry process. Values are:

1: The system uses this version of Sales Order Entry (P4210) for subsystem processing to print pick slips and activate the subsystem processing. Identify the corresponding version of the program in the Sales Order Entry (P4210), Versions, Pick Slip Print processing options.

2: The system uses this version of Sales Order Entry (P4210) for subsystem processing to print invoices and activate the subsystem processing. Identify the corresponding version of the program in the Sales Order Entry (P4210), Versions, Invoice Print processing options.

3: The system uses this version of Sales Order Entry for subsystem commitment processing and does not commit inventory until you complete the order. After you accept the order, the system processes the order through the subsystem batch program while you enter another order.

4: The system uses this version of Sales Order Entry for online commitment processing and the system does not process order detail lines asynchronously. After you enter the order, the system processes commitments for the complete order before you can enter another order. This enables you to review commitments online as the system processes availability for each order detail line in the order.

Note: Option 5 is no longer used because the store and forward process is no longer supported.

5: The system uses this version of Sales Order Entry for entering and processing orders in a store-and-forward mode. Identify the appropriate version of the program, Sales Order Batch Transaction Editor (R4210Z), in the Sales Order Entry (P4210), Versions tab, Sales Order Batch Transaction Editor (R4210Z) processing option.

Note: If you specify either 3 or 4, you must specify a version of the Inventory Commitment program (R42997) on the Versions tab.
