Order Inquiry

These processing options specify how to search for orders on the Customer Service Inquiry form.

Note: The processing options on this tab apply only to the Sales Order Entry program (P4210). If you use the Customer Service Representative Sales Order Entry program (P42101), you must set the processing options on the Order Inquiry tab in the P42101 program.

The combination of the from status and to status must be a valid last status/next status combination in the Order Activity Rules table (F40203).

During order inquiry, the system does not display orders that are not within the from and to status range.
