Business Overview

This service provides a way for an external source, usually a financials system, to update the credit status for a franchise customer in Merchandising. This status is used when determining whether a franchisee order can be approved. Valid values are Y (credit is good) and N (credit issues). For each collection of customer and customer group passed into the service, the credit flag will be updated with the value indicated in the service call.

Merchandising returns failure status as part of the response object in the web service call if credit flag is not updated due to validation errors.

Business Overview

Deprecated in v24.1.301.0: Scheduled for Removal in 2 Years.

Use MerchIntegrations/services/franchiseManagement/franchiseOrder/manage

This service is used from an external source, usually an order management system, to create franchise orders in Merchandising. This service accepts a collection of franchise order and will return success or failure through the service response object. The franchise order uploaded through this service will be created with an order type of 'EDI'. A linked transfer, PO or store order will be created for the approved franchise orders.

Franchise orders created via this service will be systematically approved if the customer is setup for auto approval, provided the customer has valid credit. If the order does not meet the criteria for auto-approval, Merchandising will create the franchise order in Input or Require Credit Approval and will provide the reason of approval failure in the response object. Franchise orders from customers that are not identified for 'Auto Approval' are uploaded into Merchandising in Input status. Such orders will need to be manually approved in Merchandising to be considered active.

The service allows upload of one or more franchise orders in a single service call. Each request is treated as a single unit of work and if there are no validation errors or business validation errors, all the franchise orders in the message will be created and the service will return success through the service response object. In case of one or more validation errors, the service call will be rejected, and the error response will contain the details of the validation errors.

Item Validation

  • Packs are allowed for warehouse sourced or supplier sourced franchise orders only. If the pack added is a buyer pacwith an 'order as' type of eaches, then the pack is exploded to its components.

  • Deposit container items cannot be added to franchise orders. When the deposit content item is added to an order, the associated container item gets added as well. Deposit item content and container items must have the same costing location.

  • Transformable orderable items can be added to an order, however, transformable sellable items are not allowed, as these are not inventoried.

  • There cannot be multiple detail record for the same source location/item/customer location combination within a franchise order.

  • Multiple order detail lines with the same source location, item and customer location combination in the franchise order is not allowed.

Source Validations

  • For supplier sourced orders, the supplier must be an active supplier and allows direct store deliveries.

  • For supplier sourced franchise order, items must be 'Active' at the franchise store in order to be included on the order.

  • The supplier must belong to the same org unit as the costing location.

  • For warehouse or company store sourced order, the items must not be in 'Delete' status at the source location and must be in either 'Active' or 'Discontinued' status at the franchise store.

  • If the source for franchise order is not specified, then the costing location for the item and franchise store will be used as the source location.

  • If the source location is a physical warehouse, then the service will use distribution rules to determine from which virtual warehouse the inventory will be pulled, similar to distribution rules used for non-franchise transfers.

Customer Location Validation

  • If item/franchise store relationship does not exist, the franchise store would be auto ranged as part of franchise order creation.

  • For source location as a store, the customer store cannot be non-stockholding.

  • When a franchise order is uploaded through this service, having a future cost record for the item/franchise store combination is not necessary. Whether or not the cost template relationship is defined for the item/franchise store, the order can still be approved based on the provided fixed cost. However, if the fixed cost is also not provided, then the order creation would fail.

Inventory Validations

The inventory validation for Franchise orders sourced from company locations is subject to the setting of the 'Validate Availability for External Franchise Orders' system option. If set to No, Franchise Order creation would be carried out without checking for inventory availability. If set to Yes, then the requested quantity is validated against the available inventory at location for the warehouse or store sourced franchise orders. For the warehouse sourced orders, if the requested quantity exceeds the available stock at the warehouse, then Merchandising checks whether the item is on the Store Order replenishment at the same sourcing warehouse for the franchise store. If so, then an order is placed for the sourcing warehouse from the supplier for the unavailable quantity and the sourcing for the franchise location is handled via transfers created through Merchandising replenishment process. When the source location is a store, requested inventory must be available at the location.

Order Date Validations

  • Multiple franchise orders with the same source location, item, customer location and need date combination are not allowed in Merchandising.

  • For the supplier sourced franchise orders, the not after date must be greater than supplier lead time.

  • For the warehouse sourced franchise orders, if the franchise order has a need date that is less than the order lead days in the future, the franchise order is fulfilled with the available warehouse inventory. Any remaining is fulfilled via Store Order replenishment if the item is on Store Order replenishment at the same sourcing warehouse for the franchise store.

  • For store sourced franchise orders, the need date must be within order lead days.

Item Validation

Franchise orders created through this service will be systematically approved if the customer is set up for auto-approval, provided the customer has valid credit. If the order does not meet the criteria for auto-approval, Merchandising will create the franchise order in Input or Require Credit Approval and will provide the reason of approval failure in the response object. Franchise orders from customers that are not set up for auto-approval are uploaded into Merchandising in Input status. Such orders will need to be manually approved in Merchandising to be considered active.

  • If the source for franchise order is not specified, then the costing location for the item and franchise store will be used as the source location.

  • If the source location is a physical warehouse, then the service will use distribution rules to determine from which virtual warehouse the inventory will be pulled, similar to distribution rules used for non-franchise transfers.

Inventory Validations

The inventory validation for Franchise orders sourced from company locations is subject to the setting of the Validate Availability for External Franchise Orders system option. If set to No, Franchise Order creation would be carried out without checking for inventory availability. If set to Yes, then the requested quantity is validated against the available inventory at location for the warehouse or store sourced franchise orders. For the warehouse sourced orders, if the requested quantity exceeds the available stock at the warehouse, then Merchandising checks whether the item is on the Store Order replenishment at the same sourcing warehouse for the franchise store. If so, then an order is placed for the sourcing warehouse from the supplier for the unavailable quantity and the sourcing for the franchise location is handled through transfers created through the Merchandising replenishment process. When the source location is a store, requested inventory must be available at the location.

Order Date Validations
  • Multiple franchise orders with the same source location, item, customer location and need date combination are not allowed in Merchandising.

  • For the supplier sourced franchise orders, the not after date must be greater than supplier lead time.

  • For store sourced franchise orders, the need date must be within order lead days.

For franchise orders Input status, the Update action will support the updating of a franchise order header and the adding, updating, or deleting of a franchise order detail. Header level updates includes changes such as customer order reference no, freight, and other charges as well as requested quantity, fixed cost, need date, and not after date at the detail level. Besides this, billing address details such as default bill to location, and bill to address can be updated. A new item can be added, and an existing item can be deleted using a Update header level action and a detail level Create or Delete level action respectively.
