Understanding Sales Order Entry for Style Items

Along with the Sales Order Entry program (P42101), you can also use the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) to create sales order records in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Sales Order Management tables. The two Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 and P42101) work together to process sales order information. Both programs update the same tables in the system. Even if you do not use the P4210 entry program to create and modify sales orders, you must create a version of that program that specifies processing information. You use this version of the P4210 program in the processing options of the P42101 program. When you create and modify sales orders using P42101, the system uses the information in the processing options of P42101, along with the information in the specified version of P4210, to process the sales order.

During sales 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.

When entering a sales order in the Sales Order Entry program (P4210), you have the ability to use a collection template for your order. When you select to use a collection template, all of the style items associated with that collection template automatically appear as line items on the Matrix Entry form. Using templates enables you to be more efficient during sales order entry because you do not have to enter individual items.

To use a collection template, select Style Templates from the Form menu on the Sales Order Detail Revisions form.

You can also use a collection template by entering the template name preceded by a symbol on the sales order entry detail line. The symbol must be the one that you specified in the Prefix for Collection Templates processing option for the Sales Order Entry program (P4210).

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 Sales Order Detail Revisions form.
