Process
- 1. Override Line Type
Specify a code that controls how the system processes lines on a transaction. You must enter a value that is defined on the Line Type Constants Revisions form. Values are:
Blank: The order line type information can be changed for this order only. If you enter another line type, it must be a non-inventory line type. Values are:
1: The line type cannot be changed. The system displays the line type on the form, but you cannot override the information.
- 2. Override Ship To Address
Specify whether the default address information for the Ship To address can be changed. When you set up the Customer Master Information and Customer Billing Instructions, you define the Sold To address as the address to which you send the invoice and the Ship To address as the address to which you send the shipment. Values are:
Blank: The Ship To address cannot be changed.
1: The Ship To address can be changed for this order only.
- 3. Backorder or Cancel Unshipped Quantity
Specify whether the system backorders or cancels orders for which quantity is not available.
You can allow backorders by item or by customer and specify whether the backorders are allowed at a specific branch/plant. To backorder an item, you must set the option Backorders Allowed in Item Master, Item Branch/Plant, Branch/Plant Constants, and Customer Billing Instructions. If you allow backorders, the system holds the order detail line until quantity is available. If you do not allow backorders, the system cancels the order detail line.
Blank: The system does not backorder or cancel quantity that is not shipped. All remaining quantity is shippable when it becomes available.
1: The system backorders or cancels quantity that is not shipped based on backorder information in Customer Billing Instructions, Item Master Information, Item Branch/Plant, and Branch/Plant Constants.
- 4. Relieve On Hand Inventory Override
Specify whether the system enables you to relieve inventory when you confirm shipment. Values are:
Blank: The system relieves the on-hand quantity for the item when you confirm the shipment. You must add order types to the UDC table (40/IU).
1: The system does not relieve the on-hand quantity for the item when you confirm the shipment. If you do not relieve on-hand quantities, the system does not perform additional processing, such as basic serial number processing, interoperability, and agreement information.
- 5. Ship and Debit Processing
Specify whether the system uses the Assign, Recalculate, and Reassign Agreements program (R45100) to identify and adjust ship and debit agreements when you run the Confirm Shipments program. Values are:
Blank: The system does not use subsystem or batch processing.
1: The system uses subsystem processing.
2: The system does not use batch processing.
- 6. Sales Order Batch Price/Cost Update
Specify whether the system uses subsystem processing in the Sales Order Batch Price/Cost Update program (R42950) to update prices and costs during shipment confirmation. Values are:
Blank: The system does not use the Sales Order Batch Price/Cost Update program.
1: The system uses subsystem processing.
- 7. Display Warning/Error for Ascending Date Rule check
Specify whether the system displays a warning or an error message when it checks the ship date rule and the ship date rule fails during Shipment Confirmation. Values are:
Blank: Display a warning message.
1: Display an error message.
- 8. Process New Lots for Credit Orders
Specify whether the system assigns new lot numbers to credit orders during shipment confirmation. Before the system can assign new lot numbers, you must deactivate lot control. Values are:
Blank: Do not assign new lot numbers to credit orders.
1: Assign new lot numbers to credit orders.
Note: If you activate this processing option, the system displays the Country of Origin field and enables you to edit the Country of Origin field when you create a new lot.- 9. Enable Next Order Status Preference
Enter a value to activate the next order status preference in the Shipment Confirmation program (P4205). If the next order status preference is activated, the system applies it to all sales order detail records on confirmed shipments. Values are:
Blank: Do not activate the next order status preference.
1: Activate the next order status preference.
- 10. In-Transit Accounting
Specify whether the system includes in-transit accounting for the transfer orders (ST/OT) as part of the ship confirm process. When this processing option is activated, the system relieves on-hand inventory and moves the shipping quantity to the first step of the corresponding purchase order receipt routing. This provides better visibility over transfer order inventory that is in-transit. Verify that the setup for all necessary purchase order receipt routing and automatic accounting instructions is in place before activating this option. Values are:
Blank: Do not initiate in-transit accounting.
1: Initiate in-transit accounting.
- 11. Default Customer Address Relationship for Forecast Consumption by Customer
Use this processing option when you use forecast consumption by customer logic to specify which address book number on the sales order that the system should use for calculation. Valid values are:
1: Use the ship to address book number.
2: Use the sold to address book number
- 12. Write Journal Entries for In Transit Inventory (Release 9.2 Update)
Use this processing option to specify whether the system writes journal entries for in transit inventory during shipment confirmation when relieving inventory. When this processing option is active, the system does not write journal entries for these sales order lines:
Sales order lines on a load in the Transportation Management System.
Sales order lines on a transfer order when the In-Transit Accounting processing option is active.
Sales order lines being processed by the Outbound Inventory system.
The exceptions listed above have separate processes for handling in transit inventory.
Values are:
Blank: No, do not write journal entries.
1: Yes, write journal entries.
- 13. In Transit Inventory Document Type (Release 9.2 Update)
Use this processing option to specify the document type (00/DT) that the system uses when the Write Journal Entries for In Transit Inventory processing option is activated and none of its exceptions are met. If you leave this processing option blank, the system uses document type TI (In transit Inventory).
