Order Entry - Prevent Amend of Order Qty Below Item Value

As part of the Order Entry validation processes the system will not allow you to amend the order quantity below that which has been built / partially built. Similarly, the system will not allow you to delete a line if it has been built or partially built. In addition, you are unable to delete the order as a whole or change its order status to ‘D-Deleted’ if the order has been processed on a build document.

This new feature extends that validation to an additional user-defined item on the order header and order line. You might use this check to ensure that if an order line has been sent for picking or other process such as an outside contractor that it cannot be removed/adjusted below that quantity.

If you attempt to amend the order line to set a quantity below that of the lower of the nominated item or quantity built, then the system will not accept the amended quantity.

If you attempt to delete a line, you will be warned that the additional quantity has been set. You will get a similar message if you try to delete the order or change the order status to D-Deleted.

Once an order / order line has also been built or partially built the standard warnings/rules are applied first.
