Work with held sales orders or Held service orders or Held sales quotations, Reasons (DMR32901)

Related topics

There are three different titles available for this panel. The title that is displayed depends on from where you accessed the panel.

All held orders/quotations have reason codes assigned to them that indicate why they are being held. From this panel, you can create a new reason code, or assign an existing one to a held order/quotation.

Note: You can add or delete reason codes that have been manually entered and not orders/quotations that have been automatically held up by the system.

An order/quotation hold could be triggered by the following events:

  • Sales/Service order entry: If the CR-SO (Credit control, order entry) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done when the order is registered.
  • Sales/Service order line entry: If the CR-SOL (Credit control, order line) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done for every sales/service order line entered.
  • Sales quotation entry: If the CR-QT (Credit control, quotation) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done when quotations are registered.
  • Sales quotation line entry: If the CR-QTL (Credit control, quotation line) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done for every sales quotation line entered.
  • Order settlement: If the Order settlement program is being used to settle an order using a credit card or advance payment, an order will be held until the selected payment is approved.
  • Pick list printing: If the CR-PL (Credit control, pick list) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done when the handler prints a pick list for an order.
  • Batch order hold function: If the CR-ODUE (Credit control, overdue) function is activated in the Function control file, a credit check is done when the Batch order hold function is run. When this program is run, orders will be held for customers who have exceeded their overdue day/amount threshold set up for them in the Credit profile table.
