Understanding Creating Sales Orders for Style Items

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management system has the following features to support the creation of sales orders for style items:

  • Matrix entry for multi-attribute style items.

  • Collection integration.

  • Automatic total quantity split by size.

During sales order entry, you use matrix integration to manage style items. When working with style items, the Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 and P42101) call the Matrix Order Entry program (PCW10), which uses the Matrix Work File table (FCW20). The Matrix Order Entry program opens for the style item only if the style item has a structure in the Item Structure Detail table (FCW01). The Matrix Entry program appears when you exit the line on the Order Detail form. The Matrix Order Entry form facilitates entry of child style item quantities by attributes such as size and color.

You can view the availability of selected style items at the parent level (style item root level 0) or child level (intermediate item level) for a branch/plant or all branch/plants on the Matrix Entry form. To view style item availability on the Matrix Entry form, you must embed the Style Item Availability form on the Matrix Entry form, and map the Selected Style Item field of the Matrix Entry form to the Style Item field of the Style Item Availability form.

See "Creating Embedded EnterpriseOne Form Content" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Composite Application Framework (CafeOne) User's Guide.

Sales order entry integrates with Collection Management. Using processing options, you can set a default collection to automatically populate your sales orders. You can also perform a check during sales order entry to verify that the items entered belong to the collection that is attached to the sales order; or you can create collection templates that can help simplify sales order entry.

Note: The Matrix Entry program supports only the primary unit of measure (UOM) when processing quantities, regardless of the UOM entered in the Sales Order Entry program.If you enter a transaction UOM other than the primary UOM of the style item root level 0, then the system displays a warning message to notify you that the UOMs differ. Quantities that you originally entered in the Sales Order Entry program or quantities entered in Matrix Entry are processed using the primary UOM.

If you have set up size weight or size split functionality, you can manually enter quantities in the Total Quantity field on the Matrix Entry form and the system will use the size weight or size split setup to allocate quantities across the sizes. To enter quantities on the Order Detail form before the Matrix Entry form appears, first enter a value in the Quantity Ordered field, then enter the style item in the Item Number field, and then exit the row.

See Defining a Size Split.

See Defining Size Weight.

Note: If the Use Apparel Management Module system constant (SY41F) is disabled in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne System Control program (P99410), you can order a style item, but the system does not display the Matrix Entry form.

When updating an existing sales order, you can only modify the existing style end items on the order. You cannot enter new style item lines. Also, the system does not perform automatic size split or size weight for end style items based on the quantity from the Edit Sales Order form.
