Design Overview
This batch program builds Merchandising orders from recommended order quantities (ROQ) generated by the replenishment extract and investment buy calculation processes. The apply type A, C & D contracts to orders created by replenishment batch associates contracts with the ROQs created by the ROQ calculation and distribution for item/locations replenished from supplier program. These ROQs are placed on a temporary table by the replenishment extract and investment buy calculation processes. All records on the temporary tables are processed by this batch each night. These temporary table records are placed into logical groups, and a Merchandising order is created for each logical group.
In order to be placed in the same order group, the item/location ROQs from the temporary tables must share a common supplier, have the same order_status ('W'orksheet or 'A'pproved), and be on the same contract (or not be associated with a contract). Depending on flags on the order inventory management table, two other criteria can be used for splitting order groups. First, if the inventory management level is set to 'D'ept, only items in a single department are allowed in an ordering group. Secondly, the single location indicator can be set to 'Y'es. If this is the case, only one location is allowed per ordering group. Finally, an item may only exist in an ordering group with a single origin country. When an item/location ROQ temporary table record is encountered with a different origin country than the one it exists with in the current ordering group, it is placed in a different ordering group.
To assist the recalculation and order scaling processes of replenishment ROQs, the replenishment results record, associated with the order temporary table record being processed, is updated with the order number and allocation number that the order temporary table record was placed with. Investment Buy results is also updated with the order number.
If the location to be replenished is a Franchise location and the replenishment Order Control is Semi-Automatic or Automatic, Franchise POs will be created per Costing Location/Location. Associated Franchise Orders will also be created.
