Managing Grid Orders
Use the grid templates that you have set up to add orders to your transactions. Grid order entry follows the standard procedures for creating order transactions. You can use one or more templates in a grid order. For more information, read the following topics:
Guidelines for Creating Grid Orders
Read the following guidelines for creating grid orders:
-
For better performance, add a maximum of 500 line items per transaction. You may encounter errors or slow processing when there are more than 500 line items in the transaction.
-
Grid order entry does not include validation or autopopulation of values in standard mandatory fields, such as the Tax Code. This applies on the sales order form and custom mandatory fields for other SuiteApps.
-
Item inventory count is based on the location that has been set in the transaction header if line-item locations is not used. Otherwise, item inventory count is based on line-item locations even if a location has been set in the transaction header. For more information about line-item locations, see Configuring Per-Line Locations for Transactions.
-
If you use Multiple Currencies, values for the rate and amount of line items are initially based on the base price set as currency of the parent company. When grid items are added as line items, the values follow applicable multicurrency rules and are reflected on the Grid Order Entry form.
-
On the Grid Order Entry form, row level price totals and price totals use the pricing assigned at the item level. The total order, including all items, is priced on the Items subtab and incorporates order level discounts. To view actual price totals on the Grid Order Entry form, click the Open link for the template on the Items subtab.
-
If you use Demand Planning for grid sales orders that are submitted for the first time, the ship date that you entered on the Grid Order Entry form is assigned to all items in the grid.
-
For grid inventory adjustments:
-
If you use Advanced Bin/Numbered Inventory Management, you cannot use grid item templates that only have lot numbered or serialized items. When you use grid item templates with different item types, the grid cells for serialized and lot numbered items are disabled.
-
If you enter 0 in a grid cell for a specific item, the item is not added to the transaction line item.
