Sales Order Data Entry - Purpose
ED160E
This Sales Order Data Entry program (ED160E) will allow regular and standing sales orders to be quickly entered online in the system. Sales orders entered through this conversation will be written to existing sales order generation transaction files which will be processed by the sales order generation program that may run asynchronously or in batch mode. The sales order generation program will create the sales order records and write them to the sales order master file. The sales orders entered through the new data entry program will be available for maintenance and inquiry only after the sales order generation program has run.
Only key fields such as co/whs, order number, bill-to and ship-to customers, parts, and quantities will be required by the data entry program. All other sales order fields will be defaulted from the customer or part when the sales order generation program is run. Minimal validation will be performed on these fields.
Pricing and discounting, credit checking, calculation of totals, and inventory reservation will not be performed by the data entry program. They will be performed by the sales order generation program. If any errors occur from validation and/or processing, the sales orders in error will be available for correction through EDI's sales order exception resolution program. A report may also be printed to show what these errors are.
