Sales Order Line Maintenance

Fields

Line Id:

Obligatory field (3 numbers).
If the number exists, the order line is displayed.

Item Id:

Obligatory field. If the code exists then the item heading, the purchase unit and the stocking unit are displayed.

If the type of the order is a ‘project’, you can enter only items having PR as their reorder policy.

Quantity:

Obligatory field. It is defined as a quantity expressed in the stocking unit.

Delivery date:

The delivery date of the order is proposed by default.  It is the date on which the customer expects to receive his order.

Consume forecast:

The “Consume forecast” checkbox aims to distinguish normal and exceptional orders.

To avoid counting the normal orders twice (once in the forecast and once in the order), the system deducts the ordered quantities from the sale forecasts of the period.

Exceptional orders, not consuming forecast, do not modify the quantities figuring in the forecasts.

Unit Price:

nVC The selling price saved in the item record is proposed by the system, however, it can be modified. It is expressed in whole units. The amount of the order line is computed when you are finished with the field.

Discount

nVC The discount rate saved in the customer record is proposed by the system. Can be modified for each order line. It is expressed as a percentage.

Shipping Date:

The shipping date is proposed by defect.  If a transportation time towards the customer is specified, the shipping date is calculated by withdrawing this time from the delivery date.  It is the date on which the ordered goods must be dispatched.  They must thus be available to this date.

Priority:

 Optional field. Here, you can enter a priority index, 3 digits long.

If the “Check Available to Promise during order entry” box is checked, the system makes sure that the available to promise is sufficient to ship the items at the shipping date.  If it is not the case, it proposes the nearest date where the available to promise is sufficient to honor the order line.  You can refuse this proposal and enter another date.

The number of lines and the total amount are stored in the order heading.

If the distribution is managed, the distribution center from which shipping must take place is recalled.  The master schedule that one reaches by the Master Schedule button corresponds then to that of the item for the specified distribution center.
