Order Entry - Column 1/2 Inputs as View-Only

When entering order details using the fast input or detail pick entry modes then any extra non-standard detail is added at the end of the detail entry. The Column 1/2 input options allow the facility to input data after entry of stock/description but before the remainder of the detail entry. This is of particular use when the quantity or price values entered are determined by these extra items. This new facility allows you to set these items as view-only so the operator can view the data (to make a decision based on the data) but cannot amend the data.

Installation

Application User Facilities

To enable the ‘View-Only’ option a new parameter has been added to the Fast Input Features within the Application User Facilities for Sales and Purchase Order Processing. To update select Installation from the main menu followed by Application Manager and then Application User Facilities. Select the Sales / Purchase Order Processing application as required and then the option Enter/Amend Orders before selecting the Advanced Input Facilities and then Fast Input Features.

Against both the Column-1 andColumn-2 flags a new option has been added so that the extra item is displayed but cannot be amended.
