Sales Order Processing Documents

There are some changes that relate to the actions that occur on sales order processing documents.

Action Screen

A new column is displayed in the Action Quantity screen that shows the purchase order status of each sales order detail. This is either blank, if no link to purchase orders, or takes one of the following values:

GEN - This line is currently marked to generate a purchase order

PUR - A purchase order for this line has already been generated

DEL - The goods ordered for this line have already been received, and so it is now ready for delivery to the customer

In addition a help line at the bottom of the screen for sales orders linked to purchases shows the purchase order number, its status, and the number received against the purchase order.

Delivery Note/Invoice Quantities

The action quantity offered as the default for delivery notes and invoices can differ for order details which are linked to purchase orders. Where the action quantity was defined to be either outstanding quantity, order quantity or deliveries outstanding then the value of the action quantity defaults to the following values for sales order details linked to purchase orders:

Zero, if the purchase order status is Y or P (waiting to be placed, or created)

The quantity received so far, or the order quantity if all required now received

As per document settings if purchase order status now D
