Understanding Purchase Order Entry for Style Items

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement Management system supports the creation of purchase orders for style items with the following features:

  • Matrix entry for multi-attribute style items.

  • Collection integration.

  • Automatic total quantity split by size.

During purchase order entry, matrix integration is used to manage style items at a higher level instead of at the lowest child item level. When working with style items, the Purchase Orders program (P4310) calls the Matrix Entry program (PCW10) to create purchase orders for multilevel child style items. The Matrix Entry program opens for the style item only if an item structure is attached to it.

The system does not display the Matrix Entry form if the Matrix Line for the ROO level (style item root level 0) in the structure is not selected and the Apparel Management system is not enabled.

The Matrix Entry form (WCW10B) appears when you exit the Item Number column or exiting the line on the Order Detail form (W4310A). The Matrix Entry form facilitates entry of child style item quantities by attributes such as size and color.

During purchase order entry, 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.

Note: The Matrix Entry program supports only the primary UOM when processing quantities regardless of the unit of measure entered in the Purchase Orders 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 about the unit of measure difference. Also, the quantities that you originally entered in the Purchase Orders program or in the Matrix Entry grid are processed using the primary UOM regardless of the UOM that was entered.

You can manually enter quantities in the Total Quantity field on the Matrix Entry form and the system will use the size weight 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.

Note: If the Use Apparel Management Module system constant (SY41F) is disabled in the EnterpriseOne System Control program (P99410), then you can enter only the lowest level style item. You cannot enter any intermediary level style item.

You can perform automatic splitting based on customer category code, item category code, or a combination of both category codes. You define category codes in user-defined code (UDC) 41F/00.

You define the splitting percent by size in the Automatic Splitting by Size Definition program (PCW33). The system uses the following sequence to perform size splitting:

  1. Exact match on both item category and address book category code values.

  2. Exact match on either item category and address book category code values and then blank for the other category code.

  3. Blank values for both item category and address book category code values.

  4. Else, no automatic size splitting is performed.
