Understanding Subsystem Processing in Sales Order Entry

If you need a pick slip or invoice when you finish the order entry process, you can set up and activate the subsystem. You might want this instant print capability if you:

• Operate in an environment that has a high volume of same-day-delivery orders, and you want to create the pick slip as soon as you enter the order.

• Have many counter sales, where the customer expects to leave the premises with both the merchandise and the invoice for that merchandise.

The processing options in the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) activate subsystem processing. For example, in the version of Sales Order Entry that you use for printing pick slips immediately after order entry, you would set the value in the processing options to print pick slips and then identify the version of the Print Pick Slips program. You must set a processing option to activate the subsystem processing and then identify the corresponding subsystem version of the programs to run these programs:

• Print Pick Slips (R42520)

• Print Invoices (R42565)

• Inventory Commitment (R42997)

• Batch Edit and Creation (R4210Z)

You should create a version of Sales Order Entry (P4210) specifically for subsystem processing.

Important: You must stop the subsystem processing before performing end-of-day processing. You can also stop one or more jobs in the subsystem at any time. You use the Subsystem Jobs program (P986113) to end subsystem processing.
