Multi-Line Entry

During the Sales Order Maintenance, Quote Order Maintenance, EDI's Sales Order Data Entry, and Postbilling and Debit/Credit Memo Entry conversations, a multi-line screen allows you to enter several lines using a single screen.

Note:    Processing for the multi-line screen in EDI's Sales Order Data Entry conversation is minimal.  Only part and quantity are required on the multi-line.  All other sales order fields will be defaulted from the customer or part when the EDI Sales Order Generation program is run.

The multi-line screen is a screen for entry of standard line data.  This screen can be used in conjunction with the order line window.  Lines may be modified on either interchangeably.  For an add transaction, the multi-line screen follows immediately after the header screen if no order comments are to be entered.

The processing for the multi-line screen includes:  part, warehouse, and unit of measure validation; pricing and costing methods; and inventory availability and gross margin checking.

The multi-line screen is useful for entering standard line item data.  In addition, you may manually price the line item and source the part from a warehouse other than the selling warehouse that was entered on the Function Select screen.  To view additional detail for a particular line, you may display the order line window.

You enter a status of "closed" to cancel a line.  The canceled line will remain on the order with a status of "closed."  In addition, a reason code can be entered to identify the reason the line was canceled or closed.  The codes can be used in the shipping conversation to distinguish canceled lines from closed lines.
