Program Description
This program can be found on the Order Entry Data Entry menu (OE-1-6). This allows the user to print packing slips for items that are on back order. When the back ordered item is shipped, an order release can be performed and a new invoice is created.
Rev 14 Changes
An enhancement has been added to Order Entry called Hold Status. There is a new global field in the Order Entry Control File (Global Record 1) that activates this feature. The field is field 14 “Place Incoming Orders On Hold If AR Balance + Open Order Amount + Amount Of Order Is Greater Than AR Limit (Y'es,N'o,P'er)”. If this field is set to Y for yes or P for per order, when the operator ends out of entering an order in Order Entry, the program will compare the Bill-To Customer Numbers AR Balance plus dollar amount of open orders plus the dollar amount of the order that was just entered to see if it is greater than the AR Limit. If the customer is over the AR Limit, a message “Customer Is Over Credit Limit. AR Balance = #####.## Open Order Amt = ######.## Credit Limit = ######.##” will display. If the global option is set to Y for yes, the operator will be asked “Order Will Be Put On Hold Status. Press Return To Continue.” The operator must then press the return key and all of the normal files will be updated. However, the order will not be able to be printed unless printed specifically, and the order can not be released. If the global option is set to P for per order, the operator will be asked “Do You Wish To Put The Order On Hold Status (Y/N)”. If the operator would like the order to be put on a hold status, they should enter Y for yes. A N for no should be entered if the order should not be put on a hold status. Back Order printing was changed so that if all unprinted back orders or a group of back orders is printed, orders that are on hold status, are skipped. When a specific back order is printed and the back order is on hold status, the operator will be asked “This Order Is On Hold For Credit. Continue (Y/N)”.
Rev 13 Changes
The Sales Order Number field was enlarged from 6 characters to 8 characters in Invoice Entry, Credit Memo Entry, Order Entry, Order File Maintenance, Service Invoicing and Contract Billing. This field is stored in the Invoice Header File (INVHDRD) and the Order Header File (OEHDRD). Back Order printing was changed to look at these new positions.
Program code was added to prevent an Arithmetic Stop at 947 if the quantity ordered on a line is 0.
The option to print backorders for a range of company numbers and range of branch numbers was added to standard back order printing. For details on custom back order printing, please contact LMS Support.
Rev 12 Documentation
Order Printing is found on the Order Entry Data Entry menu, 1-3. Back Order Printing is found on the Order Entry Data Entry menu, 1-6. All order forms are considered custom. The paper version is also considered custom. When Revision 12 is loaded, the necessary changes to incorporate the file expansion of the Item and Serial Files will be made in the order printing version that is at your site.
The unit price and cost is stored in the Order Line Item File with the four decimal position. However, on the standard order forms and paper version there is not enough room to print the four decimal positions without taking away print positions from other fields. Thus the four decimal unit price is rounded to two decimal positions. This change will also be made on the order printing version that is at your site. If your form does have enough room to print the four decimal unit price, that will have to be determined in the after update process.
