Understanding Outbound Inventory Order Detail Information

After you add header information to an outbound inventory order, you add detail information about the items on the order, such as item identifiers, and quantities. You can also add messages to individual detail lines.

Because the system retrieves most of the detail information from other tables, you enter only a minimum of information. Using the data that you enter, the system completes the remaining fields with default information. You can review and change the values as required.

When you enter outbound inventory detail information, the system resolves outbound inventory orders against the order detail line. If a valid outbound inventory agreement is found, the system resolves it against the order. If none of the outbound inventory agreements matches the search criteria, the system searches for other agreements.

When you enter outbound inventory order detail information, the system retrieves default information from various tables, including:

  • Outbound Inventory Agreement Master (F42I010)

  • Outbound Inventory Agreement Detail (F42I011)

  • Sales Order Header File (F4201)

  • Item Master (F4101)

  • Customer Master by Line of Business (F03012)

  • Item Branch File (F4102)

  • Item Location File (F41021)

  • Item Cost File (F4105)

  • Item Base Price File (F4106)

You can enter the required customer and order information on either the header or detail information form. You might want to access header information before accessing detail information to review the default values before you enter the outbound inventory order. To locate and review orders, you can directly access the detail information.

The information in the outbound inventory order detail is specific to the item, customer and outbound inventory agreement combination. Changes in the detail form affect only the order detail line to which you have made the change.
