Manually Creating Demand Header Records

Access the Demand Header Revisions form.

Customer Item Number

(Optional). Enter the cross-reference item number that the system assigns to an item number. A cross-reference number enables you to use a supplier's item number if it is different from the item number when you are processing an order or printing. You set up this number in the Item Cross Reference program (P4104).

Default Customer PO (default customer purchase order)

(Optional). Enter a number that represents the default customer purchase order that the system uses in demand detail records when a customer purchase order has not been entered. The system also uses this number as a reference to the sales order or blanket sales order.

Default Item Revision

(Optional). Enter a number that the system retrieves from the EDI transaction set or message. This revision level is based on the revision level for the item that is set up in the F4101 table. You can enter this number manually.

Vendor Part Number

(Optional). Enter a number that identifies the vendor's part and is typically sent by the customer in an EDI message.

Last Shipment ID (last shipment identification)

(Optional). Enter the number that identifies the last shipment that the customer has received.

Round to Standard Pack Firm

Select this option to specify whether the system rounds up firm quantities to the pack quantity for a standard carton. For example, assume that you have selected this option. If a customer whose standard pack quantity is a carton of 500 items requests a reduced shipment of 475 items, then the supplier must still ship 500 items.

You can set up an advanced preference to specify whether this option is activated by default when the system automatically creates a demand header record. You set this up using the Advanced Preferences Name Revisions program (P4071).

Round to Standard Pack Plan

Select this option to specify whether the system rounds up plan quantities to a standard carton pack quantity. For example, if a customer's standard pack requirement is 500, and they request a shipment of 475, the supplier must ship 500. If you leave this option blank, the system does not round up firm quantities to a standard carton pack quantity.

You can set up an advanced preference to specify whether this option is activated by default when the system is automatically creating a demand header record. You set this up using the Advanced Preferences Name Revisions program (P4071).
