This new feature allows an increase in the number of details per order from 999 to 9999.

Installation

Application User Facilities

The increased number of details is available automatically on update to Release 6.8, however, when using a large number of details you may wish to review the settings for locking stock records when updating Sales/Purchase Order Headers.

By default when updating order headers the system exclusively locks the stock records in use on the order so that changes in credit and reserved status can be reflected in the linked stock items. With an increased number of details the lock and unlock of the stock records can take a noticeable amount of time. An existing parameter within the Optional Features allows for the system to only lock the stock records after the Order Header update and only locks if the operator changes the credit/reserved flags.

To update this setting select Installation from the main menu followed by Application Manager and Application User Facilities. Select the required application followed by Enter/Amend Orders and then Advanced Input Facilities and Optional Features. Screen 2 of the Optional Features allows this parameter.

Lock Stock AFTER Input When Amend Header – set to place record locks, if necessary, when save changes to Order Header. Note if the operator changes the credit/reserved flags and a stock record cannot be locked then any changes to the order header will be rejected and the operator warned accordingly.
