Order Hold Codes for Minimum and Maximum Order Amounts

You can set minimum and maximum order amounts that the customer must order before the system advances the order through the processing cycle. For example, you can offer the customer a trade discount if the customer orders a minimum amount.

You define a range between the minimum and maximum order amounts on the Billing Information form of the Customer Master program (P03013) or you can define a minimum or maximum line amount. Then, you set up hold codes for the system to compare the order or line amount against the values that you defined on the customer master record.

To set up order checking for a range of amounts, enter the hold code in the Order Minimum Value Check and Order Maximum Value Check processing options, on the Order Holds tab of the Sales Order Entry program. The system compares this amount to the total sales order amount. If the order amount is not within the range defined, the system displays an error message and does not process the order.
