Work with sales orders/sales quotations or Service orders, Header view (DMR30001)

Related topics

This is the initial panel for working with sales orders or service orders.

The title differs depending on from where you accessed the panel; either from

  • the Sales tasks menu, or
  • the Service order tasks menu (DC1 Service must be installed and activated).

This panel displays all sales orders that have not been completely invoiced yet, i.e. all sales orders with a status less than 60.

The sales orders are sorted according to their number in either ascending, or descending, order. This sequence is controlled by the Order in desc. seq parameter in your user profile.

Sales orders received via other pre-systems, (e.g., EDI, hand terminals) or emanating from another DC1 system or any external system, can also be copied into the Sales order file in DC1 Distribution and maintained.

If many sales orders have been entered with Direct print confirmation set to YES in the Sales order type table there may be a minor time delay before the order actually changes status from 10 to 20.

You can maintain the sales order while it is at status 10 before the system gets a chance to automatically print it. If, however, the Direct order printout confirmation routine is started while you are maintaining it the status of the order will not be automatically updated by the system (i.e. sales order will remain at status 10). You will have to print the order confirmation manually.

If you try to maintain the sales order after the Direct order printout confirmation routine has started then you will not be able to access it. In this case, you must wait until the printout process has finished (i.e. the sales order has reached status 20) to be able to maintain it.

Diverting dispatches to another warehouse

There are some very rare –and very costly – situations which would require dispatches from a particular warehouse to be stopped. To help minimize your losses and keep up your customer service, there is a functionality on this panel which allows the shipments and sales orders to be diverted to another warehouse. More information:

What can be diverted
You can divert entire outbound shipments; multiple orders that are bound to the same shipment address; or just a few select shipment or sales order lines. In essence, any sales order/shipment line that has not been included in the pick process can be safely diverted to another warehouse.

How to divert shipments

  1. Select the outbound shipments that you wish to divert and click the Warehouse diversion option (available on this panel).
  2. All of the shipment lines that you selected to divert will then be displayed on the Warehouse diversion confirmation panel.
  3. On that panel you specify which warehouse the shipments are to be diverted to.
  4. Click OK to divert sales order lines or Back to cancel.
