Freeze Orders

You can freeze all firm orders, including purchase orders, work orders, and transfer orders from the Planning Console program. You select the Freeze option from the Form menu to display the Freeze Orders form of the Planning Console Freeze Orders program (P34X290).

The Freeze Orders form displays all work orders and purchase orders, with the eligible orders pre-selected. The system displays frozen orders as deselected. You can deselect the orders that you do not want to freeze, and then click the Freeze button or select the Freeze option on the Row menu to freeze the orders. When you freeze the orders, the system updates the Freeze Code (UNCD) in the Purchase Order Detail File (F4311) or Work Order Master File (F4801), and the Planning Details Supply/Demand Worktable (F34X200W) tables. Although you can select a frozen order in the Freeze Orders form, the system does not perform any table updates when you freeze an order that is already frozen.
