Additional Options for ‘Missing’ Stock Items

The batch update processes allow for the creation of order detail items where the stock code does not yet exist in Datafile, the intention being the operator will add the stock items afterwards and place the stock lines on reserved/on-order. Two additional options have been added to order handling when a stock code does not yet exist in Datafile – firstly that documents can be processed when a stock item is not found (the ‘missing’ item is omitted) and secondly to enable deletion of an order line when a stock code is not found.


When attempting to delete an order line the system will warn that ‘Stock Record Not Found’ if the stock code is missing. The system will now allow use of the <F7-Key> as an override to continue with the deletion of the order line.



If the document is configured accordingly then instead of warning that stock code is not found the system will allow the document to be created – omitting the missing stock line from the document processing and print.

Installation

The option to delete an order line for missing stock items is available immediately on program update; the option to process a document ignoring missing stock item lines needs an additional parameter to be set within the document parameters.

Document Design Manager

To update the document parameters Diamond and Premier users should select Installation from the main menu followed by Application Manager and then Document Design Manager, Compact and Professional users should select Installation and then Document Design Manager.

Select the appropriate Order Processing application and then select the required document type before entering the document number of the required layout to update the document design. Once the document mask is displayed select the Parameters option at the top of the screen and then use the ACTION button to move to screen 12 – Optional Features before hitting NEXT to move to screen 12a.


Ignore Order Lines containing missing stock codes – if set then instead of warning that the stock code is missing and preventing process of the order the system will omit the order detail with the missing stock item and allow the remainder of the order to be processed.
