Modify Quantity for Order Lines in Allocated or Partly Allocated Status
During inventory shortages or if you want to ship excess inventory for an allocated/partly allocated order, you may had cancelled the allocation and made changes to the order lines which is time consuming. Also, you may have faced challenges to adjust the inventory within the order for removing or adding the items to the existing orders (Allocated/Partly Allocated).
You can now modify the ordered quantity for “Partly Allocated” and “Allocated” orders in the Order Detail UI. This gives you greater flexibility to update the ordered quantity, based on your requirements. Additionally, you can change the order lines after allocation.
For a partly allocated order, you can increase or decrease the ordered quantity. If you update the ordered quantity equals to the allocated quantity, then system updates the order status to Allocated or respective other status based on the order detail status. Note that you are not allowed to decrease the ordered quantity less than the allocated quantity.
For an allocated order, you can only increase the ordered quantity. If you update the ordered quantity more than the allocated quantity, then system updates the order status to “Partly Allocated”.
Updating of ordered quantity is not supported for transportation split orders. After updating the ordered quantity for a transportation split order, the system alerts you with an error message “Cannot modify order quantity which has gone through transportation split.”
NOTE:
-
If you update the ordered quantity that is less than the order’s allocated quantity, the system alerts you with an error message “Cannot modify order quantity to less than allocated quantity”.
-
You are not allowed to update the ordered quantity for a serial tracking item if the order detail is populated with the “Required Serial Nbr” field. If you proceed with updating the order detail, populated with the “Required Serial Nbr” field, the system alerts you with an error message “Cannot modify order quantity for order detail having required serial number”.
Also, you can add a new inventory line (order detail) for the partially allocated or allocated order using the Create action button on the Order Detail UI. You can delete an inventory line (if the order detail is non-allocated) via the Delete action button on the Order Detail UI.
NOTE: If you delete an order detail that has gone through transportation split and is in Created status with one or more split order details with allocations, after entering the Reason code prompt, the system displays an error message “Cannot delete order detail which has gone through transportation split.”
IHT UPDATES
When you update the ordered quantity or delete an order detail, the system now updates the following Inventory History Transactions in the Inventory History UI:
| IHT Transaction | Trigger Point |
|---|---|
|
20 - Order Status Change |
When the order status changes from Partly Allocated to Allocated / Packed / Picked / Loaded / Shipped or Allocated to Partly Allocated. |
|
85 - Order Detail Status Change |
When the Order Detail status changes from Partly Allocated to Allocated / Packed / Picked / Loaded / Shipped or Allocated to Partly Allocated. |
|
27 - Order Cancellation |
When an existing or new order detail is deleted. |
ORDER INTERFACE AND INIT_STAGE_INTERFACE API CHANGES
To support the updates on the Order Header and Order Detail UIs, the Order Interface and Order entity for INIT_STAGE_INTERFACE API now allows you to:
- Add a new inventory line and delete an inventory line.
- Update the ordered quantity for Partly Allocated and Allocated orders.
NOTE: If you update the ordered quantity less than the order’s allocated quantity in the Order Interface, the system alerts you with an error message “Cannot modify order quantity to less than the allocated quantity for <SKU> with order sequence <sequence number>.”.
If you update the ordered quantity for a transportation split order via the Order Interface, the system alerts you with an error message “Order <Order Number> with sequence number <sequence number> is part of OTM transportation split, cannot modify order qty.”.
ORDER DETAIL PATCH API CHANGES
To provide you greater flexibility when updating the ordered quantity for Partly Allocated and Allocated orders, we have added a new parameter (ord_qty) to the existing Order Detail Patch API.
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ord_qty | Float |
You can use this parameter to update the ordered quantity for orders. |
