Understanding Sales Update for Production Controlled Items
To maintain the most accurate sales information, you can update the records daily in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system. Run a version of the Sales Update program (R42800) each day to maintain the most accurate sales information.
If you do not relieve inventory during shipment confirmation, then the sales update process uses blind consumption logic to deplete inventory.
The system uses an algorithm to determine which production controlled inventory to consume to meet the required quantity if sufficient quantity of the specific production controlled or generic inventory does not exist.
When the Sales Update program is run for production controlled items, the algorithm:
Allocates generic inventory.
Generic inventory is inventory for items that are not production controlled and, therefore, are not associated with a production number.
Allocates inactive production numbers.
These are production controlled items that have the Production Number Status set to I in the Production Number Master File table (F34401).
Allocates orphaned production numbers.
These are production controlled items that are no longer associated with a supply or demand.
Allocates production number by end item demand date.
This is the demand date of a production controlled item that is the farthest in the future. The system then replans the end item to meet the demand.
