Understanding Attaching Outbound Inventory Agreements to Sales Orders

When you receive sales orders through inbound Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), business services or other external sources, the sales orders do not have outbound inventory agreements attached to them. Also, when orders move out of fulfillment or future orders move to open orders, outbound inventory agreements are not attached to the orders.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Outbound Inventory Management system enables you to attach outbound inventory agreements to other sales orders. You use the Resolve Outbound Inventory Agreements batch program (R42I40) to attach agreements to existing sales orders. You can specify which orders or agreements to attach agreements to, using processing options that control the batch program.
