Understanding the Process to Update Order Header Information to the Detail Form
After you enter the initial information on an outbound inventory order, you might update the header information. Most of the header information consists of default values from the customer master record and the address book master record. You can override this information when you enter an outbound inventory order or when you revise the order. If you must change header information after you enter an order, you can ensure that changes to the header information are reflected in the detail information by updating the header information to the outbound inventory order detail.
To automatically load header changes to detail lines, you must set the Update Header to Detail processing option on the Defaults tab in the P4210 program to the automatically update setting. If this processing option is set for a manual update, you must use the Populate selection from the Form menu on the Sales Order Header form to manually initiate the update to the detail lines. If the processing option is set to manual update and you do not select the Populate selection, the system does not update the changes to the header fields in the lines of the order.
Use the Define selection from the Form menu on the Sales Order Header form to review and revise selected header fields on the outbound inventory order and to update the detail lines when you make header changes. The system updates the selected header fields regardless of whether you are in auto or manual update mode. Because the system stores the list of selected header fields in a UDC table, you must use the selection from the Form menu only when you want to change those header fields that are selected for an update.
When you modify outbound inventory agreement search criteria fields in the order detail line, the system displays the Outbound Inventory Agreement Selection application for you to re-attach outbound inventory agreements to the order detail line.
If you want to manually attach a different outbound inventory agreement, select the order line and click Outbound Agreement from the Row menu. The system displays the previously selected agreement with a check mark next to it. You can select a different outbound inventory agreement and click OK.
