11.1 Understanding Order Holds and ReleasesIn some circumstances, you must hold a customer's order. For example, you might place a customer's order on hold for credit reasons. When the credit issue has been resolved, you use order releases to return the order to the processing cycle or to initiate the sales order process. Or, if you have held a blanket or quote order, you can create sales orders by releasing the blanket order or the quote order. When the system places an order on hold, the order is taken out of the processing cycle. When you release an order, you return it to the order processing cycle. 11.2 Holding OrdersThis section provides an overview of holding orders and discusses how to set processing options for the Batch Credit Hold program (R42542). 11.2.1 Understanding Holding OrdersDuring order entry, the system can evaluate orders in a variety of ways, including order hold information. When you enable order hold processing, the system evaluates order information to determine whether to place an order on hold. If the system determines that the order should be on hold, it issues an order hold warning to the user before processing the order. The system can perform credit checking when you enter an order and can place an order on credit hold. Occasionally you might verify a customer's credit limits against existing sales orders and place the orders on credit hold. You can use the Batch Credit Hold program (R42542) to hold existing sales orders that are beyond credit limits. You must set the Highest Next Status processing option for the system to review sales orders with multiple lines at different statuses. If all sales order detail lines are at a status lower than or equal to the value that you enter for this processing option, the entire sales order is put on credit hold. For example, a sales order includes line one with a Next Status of 590 and line two with a Next Status of 540. You entered 560 for the Highest Next Status processing option. Therefore, the order is not put on hold because the status of line one is higher than the value in the processing option. 11.2.1.1 Record Reservation (Release 9.1 Update)The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides record reservation capability within the Batch Credit Hold program (R42542). Record reservation helps to ensure the integrity of the data and prevent data loss. To avoid simultaneous processing of the same records, the system reserves (locks) records for processing by any other program. Thus, the system does not allow you to edit a record that has been locked by a different user or application. When a program that uses record reservation is interrupted, orphaned reservation records might remain in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095). This can occur, for example, when technicians are working with a server, or when a workstation shuts down without warning. If an interruption stops one of the programs in the Batch Credit Hold program (R42542) before it releases the reservations that it creates, you cannot update the records until the orphaned reservations are removed. You can use the Remove Business Object Reservation program (P00095) to release unwanted record reservations. This program stores reservation information in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095). 11.2.2 Setting Processing Options for the Batch Credit Hold Program (R42542)Processing options enable you to specify the default values for the Batch Credit Hold program. 11.2.2.1 DefaultsThese processing options specify the default values that the system uses to process order holds. 1. Status Code - FromEnter a value from user-defined code (UDC) 40/AT that specifies the beginning status code range that the system uses to select orders for batch credit hold. The system uses this code with the Status Code - To processing option to define the search criteria range. The combination of Status Code - From and Status Code - To must be a valid combination of last status and next status in the Order Activity Rule table (F40203) for the order type and line type that you are processing. 2. Status Code - ToEnter a code (UDC 40/AT) to specify the status code range that the system uses to select orders for batch credit hold. The system uses this code with the Status Code - From processing option to define the search criteria range. The combination of Status Code - From and Status Code - To must be a valid last status and next status combination in the F40203 table for the order type and the line type that you are processing. 3. Based On StatusSpecify whether the system uses the Last Status field or Next Status field to determine which orders are processed. Values are: 1: Select orders for which the Last Status value falls within the Status Code From and Status Code To processing option values. 2: Select orders using the Next Status value. 4. Override Next StatusEnter a code from UDC 40/AT that indicates the next step in the order process. The code that you specify must have been set up in the F40203 table based on the order type and the line type that you are using. The override status is another allowed step in the batch credit hold process and is optional. The combination of the beginning status and the override next status must be a valid last status and next status combination in the F40203 table. 5. Prevent Next Status UpdateSpecify whether to prevent the system from updating the next status from the order activity rules. Values are: Blank: Update the next status from the existing order activity rules. 1: Prevent the system from updating the next status. 6. Highest Next StatusEnter a code from UDC 40/AT that indicates the highest next status that sales order detail lines can have for the system to apply a credit hold to the sales order. The system does not evaluate orders with next statuses greater than this value for credit holds. 7. Hold Orders CodeEnter a code from UDC 42/HC that the system uses to automatically compare the credit limit that you set up for the customer in the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012) against the order and any outstanding balances in accounts receivable. You define the conditions that the system uses to place orders on hold in the Order Hold Information program (P42090) and attach those conditions to a hold code. You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate order hold processing. 11.3 Releasing Held OrdersThis section provides an overview of order releases and mobile applications for reviewing and releasing sales held orders, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
11.3.1 Understanding Order ReleasesYou can have orders on hold for several reasons. For example, you can hold orders that do not meet margin requirements, or that exceed a customer's credit limit. When an order is on hold, you must release it back into the processing cycle for any additional processing to take place. You do this using the Release Holds program (P43070) or the Batch Release Credit Holds program (R42550). You can place a variety of holds on an order, including:
If you activate the JDESOENTRY workflow process, the system processes the order through order hold checking. After you click OK to accept the order, the system checks the processing options for hold codes and compares the order against the order hold information. If the system puts the order on hold, it sends an E-mail message to the address book number defined in the hold code as the person responsible. This message indicates that the order is on hold. The person responsible for releasing the orders can use the work center to review messages sent during the workflow process and to access the orders to release. When you release the order, the system sends an E-mail message to the salesperson, defined in the commission fields and the sold to number, indicating that the order is being processed. You must release an order from hold to return it to the processing cycle. For example, if you enter an order for a customer who has exceeded their credit limit, the system places the order on hold. When the customer makes a payment, their credit status changes and their orders can be filled. However, the system does not process this customer's orders until you release them. You must have appropriate security access to release an order. You can release items and orders for customers as many times as necessary. You can print the Print Held Sales Order report (R42640) to review all sales orders that are on hold. To speed up the order release process, you can select and release orders based on the parent address book number. Additionally, you can use the Batch Release Credit Holds program (R42550) to release sales orders on credit hold. The program releases sales orders based on the pick date and customer credit limit. When the customer submits a payment to satisfy outstanding invoices and has a credit balance to apply toward the existing sales order, the program reviews sales order detail lines by pick date. The program releases sales orders from hold using the earliest pick date on the order detail line. See Setting Up Branch Sales Markups. 11.3.2 Mobile Applications for Reviewing and Releasing Sales Held Orders (Release 9.1 Update)The following mobile applications are available, and can be used to review and release the sales held orders on a mobile device:
These applications require system administrator configuration before they are available to individual users. Contact your system administrator to determine whether these applications are available for use.

Values are: Blank: Print financial amounts on the report. 1: Do not print the financial amounts on the report. 11.3.8 Releasing Credit Holds in BatchYou can release orders on credit hold using Batch Release Credit Holds (R42550). The R42550 program releases sales orders held in the Held Orders table (F4209) and removes the order hold code on the order in the Sales Order Header File table (F4201) based on customer credit limit and amount due. Enter BV in the Fast Path field. Enter R42550 in the Batch Application field on the Available Versions form. 11.3.8.1 Record Reservation (Release 9.1 Update)The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software provides record reservation capability within the Batch Release Credit Holds program (R42550). Record reservation helps to ensure the integrity of the data and prevent data loss. To avoid simultaneous processing of the same records, the system reserves (locks) records for processing by any other program. Thus, the system does not allow you to edit a record that has been locked by a different user or application. When a program that uses record reservation is interrupted, orphaned reservation records might remain in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095). This can occur, for example, when technicians are working with a server, or when a workstation shuts down without warning. If an interruption stops one of the programs in the Batch Release Credit Holds program (R42550) before it releases the reservations that it creates, you cannot update the records until the orphaned reservations are removed. You can use the Remove Business Object Reservation program (P00095) to release unwanted record reservations. This program stores reservation information in the Business Object Reservation table (F00095). 11.4 Releasing BackordersThis section provides an overview of backorder releases and discusses how to:
11.4.1 Understanding Backorder ReleasesThe system can withhold an order or order line from the processing cycle if you do not have the quantity to fill the order or order line. This type of hold is a backorder. When an order or order line is placed on backorder, you must release backorders into the processing cycle when inventory becomes available. When releasing backorders, you can enter a quantity that is greater than the backordered amount. The system updates the following tables with these amounts:
If the payment instrument type for the sales order is cash, the system does not update the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012). You can locate backorder information for a specific customer, item, or order before you release a backorder. 11.4.1.1 Releasing Backorders in a BatchYou can release multiple backorders simultaneously using the Backorder Release and Report program (R42118). When inventory becomes available, the system releases backorders until the available inventory is completely committed. The system automatically establishes the order in which backorders are filled. By default, the system fills the quantity for the order with the earliest date first. To fill an order based on the priority code that you set up in customer billing instructions, you can create an alternative version of the R42118 program and edit the data sequence values. This version fills orders by priority codes first, and then fills orders by request date. If you use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Scheduling Execution system from Oracle, the report displays the Promised Delivery Time (RSDT) information on the report in a column labeled Date/Time. 11.4.1.2 Releasing Backorders for KitsYou can release backorders for the kit parent or for individual kit components. When you release kit components individually, the system displays a warning that you are creating parent and component imbalances. The system flags the record and then uses this information to prevent action on the kit parent that would result in loss of kit integrity such as changing the order quantity on the kit parent item. The Backorder Release program (P42117) launches the P42055 program when you specify a transaction quantity for the parent and process the line on the sales order. You set the Display Kit Balance Window processing option on the P42117 program to specify how the system performs kit balancing. You cannot use the Batch Backorder Release program (R42118) to process kit components individually. The system releases components based on the recommended component quantities. 11.4.1.3 Releasing Backorders with Taxed PricesIf you use taxed prices and access the Backorder Release program (P42117) or the Backorder Release and Report program (R42118), the system splits sales order lines and recalculates the taxed extended price and the extended tax amount. See Taxed Prices 11.4.2 Forms Used to Release Backorders Online
11.4.3 Setting Processing Options for the Release Backorders - Online Program (P42117)Processing options enable you to specify the default values, display criteria, versions, and processes that the system performs for Release Backorders - Online program (P42117). 11.4.3.1 DefaultsThis processing option determines the next status code for released orders. 1. Next Status for Released OrdersEnter a value from UDC 40/AT that specifies the line status to be used as the next status on released orders. You must use a status that has been set up in the Order Activity Rules table (F40203) based on the order type and the line type combination. Note: If you do not enter a status or enter an invalid status, the system does not update the order status. 11.4.3.2 DisplayThese processing options specify whether the system displays information. 1. Total Fill OnlySpecify whether the system displays all lines or only lines that can be totally filled. This option works only when you search by item number. Values are: Blank: Display all lines. 1: Display only lines that can be totally filled. 2. Kit ComponentsSpecify whether the system displays component lines for kits. When you release backorders for kits, you can manually release the individual components of the kit or have the system release the components when you release the parent item. Values are: Blank: The system does not display kit component lines. The system automatically releases each component and balances the remaining quantity for each item in the kit. 1: The system displays all kit component lines. You can manually release each component, if necessary. 3. Held OrdersSpecify whether the system displays held orders on the Backorder Release Revisions form. Values are: Blank: Do not display held orders. 1: Display held orders. 4. Next Status to SelectSpecify a code from UDC 40/AT that indicates the next step in the order flow of the line type. 5. Display Kit Balance Window (P42055)Specify whether the system displays the Kit Balancing Window program (P42055) when you are processing a kit item at the parent level. The system always processes manufactured kits at the parent level and performs blind kit balancing. Values are: Blank: The system displays the Kit Balance Window form only if any exceptions exist. Exceptions include not enough components being available to satisfy the ordered parent quantity and any of the components being previously processed. 1: The system always displays the interactive Kit Balance Window form when processing a kit parent item. 2: The system does not display the interactive Kit Balance Window form. The system performs blind kit balancing, based on the default quantity as defined in the Bill of Material program (P3002). 11.4.3.3 EditsThis processing option determines the allowed lot status codes. 1. Enter Allowed Lot Status Group to validateEnter the allowed lot status group to validate. During sales order processing, the system validates the non-blank lot status codes against the user-defined status code values. If the non-blank lot status codes exist in the Allowed Lot Status table (F41081), the system treats the user-defined lot status codes as blank and the on-hold items continue through the sales order process. 11.4.3.4 ProcessThese processing options specify whether the system performs specific processes. 1. Backorder Quantity as Available QuantitySpecify whether the backorder quantity is added to the quantity available. Values are: Blank: Do not add the backorder quantity to the available quantity. 1: Add the backorder quantity to the quantity available. 2. CommitmentsSpecify whether the system calls the Inventory Commitment program (R42997) to hard-commit released orders to inventory locations. Values are: Blank: Do not call the R42997 program and soft-commit only orders that are released. 1: Do call the R42997 program to hard-commit released orders to inventory locations. Note: If you release amounts over the quantity available, the order can be backordered again. 3. Release when Quantity to Ship Exceeds Backordered QuantitySpecify whether the system allows the release of amounts that are greater than the original quantity. Values are: Blank: Do not allow the release of amounts that are greater than the original quantity. 1: Allow the release of amounts that are greater than the original backordered quantity. 4. Zero On-Hand QuantitySpecify whether the system allows the release of orders when the on-hand quantity is zero. Values are: Blank: Do not allow the release when the on-hand quantity is zero. 1: Do allow the release of orders when the on-hand quantity is zero. Note: This processing option can cause inventory levels to become negative quantities, which affects average costing. 5. Cost UpdateSpecify whether the system updates release orders with the current costs. This processing option enables you to update costs for items that might have changed costs during the interval between the placement of the order and release of the backordered amounts. Values are: Blank: Do not update the costs. 1: Update released orders with the current costs. Note: The system does not change sale price. If you release a backorder for a parent kit item and components have been previously released individually, the system does not change the cost on the parent kit line. The system updates the cost for the component lines that are released from backorder, but does not roll the cost changes up to the parent kit line. 6. Ship and Debit ProcessingSpecify whether the system uses the subsystem, batch, or normal processing to identify and adjust ship and debit agreements when you run the P42117 program. Values are: Blank: Use normal processing. 1: Use the subsystem. 2: Use batch processing with the Assign, Recalculate, and Reassign Agreements program (R45100). 11.4.3.5 Order HoldsThese processing options specify credit check and partial order hold codes. 1. Credit Check Hold CodeEnter a value from UDC 42/HC that identifies the credit hold code that the system uses to automatically compare the credit limit that you set up for the customer in the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012) against the order and any outstanding balances in accounts receivable. You define the conditions that the system uses to place orders on hold in Order Hold Information (P42090) and attach those conditions to a hold code. You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate order hold processing. 2. Partial Order Hold CodeEnter a value from UDC 42/HC that identifies the code that the system uses to hold an entire order if quantity is not available to fill an order detail line. You must enter the partial order hold code for backorder release to release the hold when the order is completely filled. The system can then release and remove the hold according to information in the Customer Billing Instructions, Item Master Information, Item Branch/Plant Information, and Branch/Plant Constants forms. If you do not enter a correct partial hold code, the backorder release does not release the held order. 11.4.3.6 PrintThese processing options specify whether the system automatically prints pick slips or invoices. 1. Automatic PrintSpecify whether the system automatically prints invoices. Values are: Blank: Do not print invoices or pick slips. 1: Print pick slips automatically. 2: Print invoices automatically. Note: Use the processing option on the Versions tab to indicate a specific version of the Print Pick Slips program (R42520) or the Print Invoices program (R42565). 11.4.3.7 VersionsThese processing options specify the versions of these programs that the system uses. 1. Sales Order Entry (P4210)Specify the version of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) to use to review orders when you select Sales Detail from the Row menu. 2. Customer Service Inquiry (P4210)Specify the version of Customer Service Inquiry (P4210) to use to review orders when you select Customer Service Inquiry from the Form menu. 3.

Ship and Debit (R45100)Specify the version of subsystem or batch processing (R45100) that the system uses to identify and adjust ship and debit agreements when you run the P42117 program. 11.4.3.8 WarehouseThese processing options specify how the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management system picks requests. 1. Request Processing ModeSpecify whether the system creates a pick request in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management and processes the request through the subsystem. Values are: Blank: Do not generate pick requests. 1: Create a pick request in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management. 2: Create a pick request, then process the request through the subsystem in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management. You use a pick request to process a suggestion to pick the inventory for an order from a particular location. 2. Subsystem Print Pick RequestSpecify the version of Print Pick Request (P46171) that is set up for subsystem processing. Use this processing option if you generate warehouse management pick requests through the subsystem. 3. Override Next StatusEnter a value from UDC 40/AT that defines an alternative status in the order process. This must be set up in the order activity rules based on the order type and the line type combination. The combination of the beginning status and the override status must be a valid last status and next status combination in the Order Activity Rules table (F40203). 11.4.4 Releasing Backorders OnlineAccess the Release Backorders form. If you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Demand Scheduling Execution, when you release the backorder, the system displays the information for the requested delivery time of the order and the scheduled pick time. This information enables you to release the product based on a date and time. 11.4.5 Setting Processing Options for the Backorder Release and Report Program (R42118)Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for the Backorder Release and Report program (R42118). 11.4.5.1 DefaultsThese processing options determine the default next status for the orders that the system releases from backorder. 1. Next Status for Released OrdersSpecify the line status to be used as the next status on released orders. You must use a status that has been set up in UDC table 40/AT of the order activity rules based on the order type and the line type combination. Note: If you do not enter a status or enter an invalid status, the system does not update the order status. 11.4.5.2 EditsThis processing option determines the allowed lot status codes. 1. Enter Allowed Lot Status Group to validateEnter the allowed lot status group to validate. During sales order processing, the system validates the non-blank lot status codes against the user-defined status code values. If the non-blank lot status codes exist in the F41081 table, the system treats the user-defined lot status codes as blank and the on-hold item continues through the sales order process. 11.4.5.3 ProcessThese processing options specify whether the system performs specific processes. 1. Proof or Final ModeSpecify whether you want to run the backorder release report in proof or final mode. Values are: Blank: Run in proof mode so that no changes are made to any sales order lines and no backorders are filled.

Values are: Blank: Do not allow the release of orders when the quantity on hand is zero. 1: Allow the release of orders when the quantity on hand is zero. Note: This option can drive inventory levels to negative quantities, which affects average costing. 5. Cost UpdateSpecify whether the system updates released orders with the current costs. This option enables you to update costs for items that might have changed costs during the interval between the placement of the order and release of the backordered amounts. Values are: Blank: Do not update costs. 1: Update released orders with the current costs. Note: The system does not change sale price. 6. Ship and Debit ProcessingSpecify the processing method used to identify and adjust ship and debit agreements when you run the Backorder Release program. Values are: Blank: Do not use subsystem or batch processing. 1: Use the subsystem. 2 Use batch processing (R45100). 11.4.5.4 Order HoldsThese processing options activate order hold processing. 1. Credit Check Hold CodeEnter a value from UDC 42/HC that specifies the credit hold code that the system uses to automatically compare the credit limit that you set up for the customer in the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012) against the order and any outstanding balances in accounts receivable. You define the conditions that the system uses to place orders on hold in the Order Hold Information program (P42090) and attach those conditions to a hold code. You must specify the hold code in this processing option to activate order hold processing. 2. Partial Order Hold CodeEnter a value from UDC 42/HC that the system uses to hold an entire order if quantity is not available to fill an order detail line. You must enter the partial order hold code for backorder release to release the hold when the order is completely filled. The system can then release and remove the hold according to information in the Customer Billing Instructions, Item Master Information, Item Branch/Plant Information, and Branch/Plant Constants forms. If you do not enter a correct partial hold code, the backorder release does not release the held order. 11.4.5.5 PrintThese processing options indicate whether the system prints order information for those orders that can be completely filled, orders that are on hold, or components of kits. 1. Total Fill OrdersSpecify whether the system prints only the lines that can be totally filled or all lines. Values are: Blank: Print all lines. 1: Print only the lines that can be totally filled. 2.

11.5.1 Understanding Blanket Order ReleaseYou can create sales orders for customers with blanket orders or quotes. You use the Release Blankets program (P420111) to manually deduct item quantities from a blanket order. The system creates a sales order for the quantity that you specify. The system maintains any remaining balance on the blanket order for future orders. The system also indicates when the sales order quantity exceeds the blanket order quantity. The system consolidates order lines based on sold to, branch/plant, and currency code information. The order numbers that you enter can be consolidated in the same way as the system-generated sales orders. For example, if you select multiple records to release and enter a new order number for the first record only, the system consolidates the orders. When you release a blanket order, you can specify the sales order number when you verify the release date and quantity. The system checks the order number and line type combinations for duplicates. If duplicates are found, the system stops processing the order and displays an error message that the document number exists. You must assign a unique order number to the order before the system processes the sales order. If you do not enter an order number, the system generates the sales order number using next numbers. The system lets you release single or multiple blanket orders automatically or manually, and you can specify whether a blanket order is selected by default when multiple blankets meet the identification criteria. If multiple blanket orders exist for a customer, such as orders received using electronic purchase orders (EDI 850 orders), you can ensure that the system automatically identifies a sales order blanket to be released. To reduce the chances of multiple blankets meeting the processing criteria, you can process blanket orders based on these values:
You can release multiple blanket orders simultaneously and release the full item quantity in each blanket order without verifying the release quantity and date or specifying a sales order number. To do so, select Release Full Quantity from the Row menu on the Work With Order Blanket Release form. The system generates a sales order for the full quantity and assigns a sales order number through the Next Number Revisions program (P0002). If you are using the Customer Self-Service version of the P420111 program, you can partially release quantities from multiple blanket orders and from multiple lines on blanket orders if you have set the appropriate processing options. When the system creates the sales orders, you can review each sales order number that results. You can also cancel a single line that has been released, as opposed to having to cancel all of the lines that have been released. To create a sales order from a blanket order, you must use the unit of measure from the original blanket order. If the units of measure in the sales order do not match the units of measure in the blanket order, the system does not initiate blanket order release. See Entering Blanket Orders. 11.5.1.1 Releasing Blanket Order for KitsYou can release blanket orders using the Sales Blanket Order Release program (P420111) or using the Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 and P42101). If you use the Sales Order Entry programs, you must set the processing options to specify that the system process blanket orders and determine how the system process individual and multiple blanket orders. When you release blanket orders using the Sales Order Entry programs, the system constructs the kit based on the components that you selected when you entered the original blanket order. The system displays the kit components using the Sales Blanket Release program (P42116). You use the Sales Blanket Release program to review and release the blanket order lines. To review the components for the selected kit blanket line, you access the View Kit Components program (P420112) from the Sales Blanket Release program. The system determines pricing on the kit sales order based on the price on the original blanket order, regardless of the selected components. After you create a sales order from the blanket order for the kit parent, the system reflects the changes on the sales order on the original blanket. If you cancel the order, or increase or decrease the order quantity, the system adjusts the open quantity on the original order. The system updates the open order quantity on the components items based on the bill of material and the parent kit. Changes to the individual component lines of a generated sales order do not affect the original blanket order. 11.5.1.2 Releasing Blanket Orders with Taxed PricesSee Taxed Prices If you use taxed prices and access the Sales Blanket Order Release program, you can release taxed sales orders. The system retrieves the internal tax date from the original blanket order. Review the following considerations when releasing a blanket order:
If you select a blanket order with taxed prices, the system displays the following fields on the Work With Order Blanket Release form:
If you select a blanket order with taxed prices, the system displays the following fields on the Blanket Order Revisions form:
If you use taxed prices and access the Sales Blanket Release program (P42216) from the Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 or P42101), review the following considerations:
In the Sales Blanket Release program, you can specify whether to review taxed or non-taxed blanket orders. If you decide to review taxed blanket orders, the system displays the domestic or foreign fields as read-only on the Blanket Release form:
If you use taxed prices and access the Sales Order Line Detail program (P42045) from the Sales Blanket Release program (P42216), the system displays either the domestic or foreign fields on the Sales Order Line Detail form:
11.5.2 Forms Used to Release Blanket Orders
11.5.3 Setting Processing Options for the Sales Blanket Order Release Program (P420111)Processing options enable you to specify the default values, display, versions, and processing for the Sales Blanket Order Release program (P420111). 11.5.3.1 DefaultThese processing options specify the default values when you create a new blanket order. 1. Order Type(Required) Enter a code from UDC 00/DT that specifies the order type to select. 2. Outgoing Document Type(Required) Enter a code from UDC 00/DT that specifies the outgoing document type. 3. Line Number Increment(Optional) Specify the increment that the system uses to determine new order line numbers when an order line must be split. For example, if order line 1 must be split, and you enter 1 for this processing option, the system creates the new line using line number 2. 11.5.3.2 DisplayThis processing option determines whether the system displays kit components. 1. Hide Kit ComponentSpecify whether the system displays kit component lines on the Blanket Order Release form. Values are:
11.5.3.3 VersionThese processing options enable you to define the version for each application. 1. Sales Order EntryEnter the version of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) that the system uses for releasing blanket orders. If you leave this field blank, the system uses ZJDE0001. 2. Customer Service InquiryEnter the version of the Customer Service Inquiry program (P4210) that the system uses for releasing blanket orders. If you leave this field blank, the system uses ZJDE0001. 11.5.3.4 Customer Self ServiceThese processing options specify whether the system uses customer self-service and determines how the system displays data. 1. Customer Self-Service FunctionalitySpecify whether the system activates the Customer Self-Service functionality. Values are: Blank: Bypass the Customer Self-Service functionality. 1: Activate Customer Self-Service functionality. 2. Organization Structure TypeEnter the structure type to display addresses for that structure type, or leave blank to display all related addresses. 3. Customer Cross Reference TypeEnter a code from UDC 41/DT that identifies the customer cross-reference type. 4. Display/Hide Change buttonSpecify whether the system displays the change button. Values are: Blank: Hide the change button. 1: Display the change button. 11.5.4 Releasing Blanket OrdersAccess the Blanket Order Revisions form. When you release a blanket order, you might receive these error messages:
These errors require you to act, such as select the blanket order from which you want to release the quantity, and reduce the order amount so that it matches the sales order. Release QuantitySpecify the quantity to release from the open order quantity. This quantity reduces the open order quantity on the original blanket order. Request DateSpecify the requested date that should be applied to the released line during sales order generation. New Order Number(Optional) Specify an order number that the system uses to create the sales order. This order number becomes the generated number of the sales order after the sales order generation. 11.6 Releasing Quote OrdersThis section provides an overview of quote order release and discusses how to release quote orders. 11.6.1 Understanding Quote Order ReleaseYou release a quote order in the same manner that you release a blanket order; you use the Release Blankets program (P420111) to release any of the items on a quote order and to create a sales order. If you release only part of the quantity or some items on the quote order, the system maintains the balance remaining on the original quote order. The next time that you display the quote order, you see the adjusted quantity. If you have multiple orders for the same customer and item, all orders appear on the Work With Order Blanket Release form. The quantity fields do not contain values. You must enter the quantity for the appropriate order. When you release a quote order, you can specify the sales order number when you verify the release date and quantity. The system checks the order number and document type combinations for duplicates. If duplicates are found, the system stops processing the order and displays an error message that the document number exists. You must assign a unique order number to the order before the system processes the sales order. If you do not enter a unique order number, the system generates the sales order number. The system consolidates order lines based on sold to, branch/plant, and currency code information. The order numbers that a user enters can be consolidated in the same way as the system-generated sales orders. For example, if you select multiple records to release and enter a new order number for the first record only, the system consolidates the orders. If you have created a quote order and the customer authorizes the purchase of the quoted items, you can use the quote to create a sales order. You use this method to create a sales order that reflects all or most of the quantities and items on a quote order. You can release multiple quote orders simultaneously by selecting Release Full Quantity from the Row menu of the Work With Order Blanket Release form. The system releases the full item quantity in each quote order and attempts to consolidate multiple order selections to a single order if possible. To create a sales order from a quote order, you must use the unit of measure in the original quote order. If the unit of measure in the sales order does not match the unit of measure in the quote order, the system does not initiate quote order release. To generate the sales order, select SO Generation from the Form menu. 11.6.1.1 Quote Order Release for KitsYou can release quote orders manually using the Sales Blanket Order Release program (P420111), or automatically using the Sales Order Entry programs (P4210 and P42101). If you use the Sales Order Entry programs, you must set the processing options to specify that the system process quote orders and determine how the system processes individual and multiple quote orders. When you release quote orders automatically, the system constructs the kit based on the components that you selected when you entered the original quote order. The system displays the kit components using the Sales Blanket Release program (P42116). You can use the Sales Blanket Release program to review and update the quote order lines for release. The system determines pricing on the kit sales order based on the price on the original quote order, regardless of the selected components. 11.6.2 Mobile Enterprise Applications for Quote Review and Release (Release 9.1 Update)The following mobile applications are available, and can be used to review and release sales order quotes on a mobile device:

11.7.2 Understanding Item InformationYou can accurately plan for future stocking needs by reviewing information that the system provides about both the item and the quantity. For example, you can:
11.7.3 Understanding Supply and DemandUse the Supply/Demand Inquiry form to review demand, supply, and available quantities for a specific item. You can review general product and item performance for a given branch/plant, past sales performance, current demand, and other item information. The information is based on inventory, purchasing, and sales history. The highlighted available-to-promise (ATP) lines on the Supply/Demand Inquiry form indicate the company's uncommitted available inventory. Available-to-promise inventory is available for sale or distribution within a specified period. The demand quantities are presented by date and can include safety stock, quantities on sales orders, work order parts lists, planned order demand for lower levels, and interplant and forecasted demand. The supply quantities are presented by date and can include on-hand inventory and quantities on purchase orders, manufacturing work orders, planned orders, and rate schedules. Supply quantities without a date or order information represent current availability by branch/plant storage location. 11.7.4 PrerequisiteBefore you review item information, you must define the item availability calculation in the Branch/Plant Constants program (P41001). 11.7.5 Forms Used to Review Item Information
11.7.6 Setting Processing Options for the Check Price and Availability Program (P4074)Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for the Check Price and Availability program (P4074). 11.7.6.1 ProcessThese processing options specify the preference processing and price review information. 1.

If the quantity on the first level of a rule is 5, then the pricing logic on this level applies only to sales of five or fewer items. If the quantity in the next level is 10, then the pricing logic applies to sales of 6 through 10 items. A value of 99,999,999 indicates all quantities. Override Unit PriceEnter a price. Any price that you enter here overrides all other rules or prices. FactorEnter the discount that the system uses when it calculates the price of an item attached to this inventory pricing rule. Discounts can be expressed as multipliers, additional amounts, or deductible amounts. For example, a 10 percent discount would be expressed as 0.90. You can use the same factor for markups over cost. For example, a 10 percent markup would be expressed as 1.10. TypeEnter a code that indicates whether the factor value is a multiplier (percent) or an additional or deductible cash amount when applied to an order's price. Contract FlagEnter a code that indicates a special pricing relationship between the item and one or more of the customers. The inventory pricing rule code for a contract is the item number. Values are: Blank: No contract. C: Contract price. If you indicate that a pricing type is a contract, you must enter the quantity that can be sold at this contract price and the contract number, if one exists. You must also attach the contract pricing rule to the customer or customer group for the rule to become effective. 11.7.8 Setting Processing Options for the Item Availability Program (P41202)Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for the Item Availability program (P41202). 11.7.8.1 VersionsThese processing options enable you to specify the versions for various programs that you access from the P41202 program.

11.8 Reviewing Customer and Sales InformationThis section provides overviews of customer account information, sales order information, and sales ledger information, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
Country-specific functionality for reviewing sales order information exists for Argentina. See "Reviewing Sales Order Information for Argentina" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Localizations for Argentina Implementation Guide. See Also:
11.8.1 Understanding Customer Account InformationYou can use the Check Credit program (P42050) to review information about a customer's account and credit status. You can compare the customer's total accounts receivable and open orders to the customer's current credit limit assigned in the Customer Master by Line of Business table (F03012) to determine whether the credit limit has been exceeded. You can access this type of information:
Additionally, you can check credit at these levels:
If you do business with a company that operates in multiple lines of business, you can differentiate the customers based on product, division, or geography. When you perform credit checking at the Line of Business (LOB) level, you can define different default processing instructions for the same customer for different lines of business. 11.8.2 Understanding Sales Order InformationYou use the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) to review sales order, customer, and item information in the Sales Order Detail File (F4211) or Sales Order History File (F42119) tables. The P4210 program enables you to review this information:
Note: Use * as a wildcard character in some fields, such as invoice number and item number, to have the system search on all values for the field. You can enter the first few letters or numbers of the item number followed by * to locate all items that start with the values that you enter. For example, if you enter 10*, the system displays all numbers that begin with 10. 11.8.2.1 Sales Orders in an As If CurrencyWhether you enter a sales order in a domestic or foreign currency, you can review amounts as if they were entered in a specific currency. As if currency processing enables you to review sales orders as if they were entered in a currency other than the currency in which they were actually entered. For example, a Canadian company that enters a foreign currency sales order in the euro (EUR) can review the sales order amounts as if they were entered in the Japanese yen (JPY) and then compare the JPY amounts to the domestic (CAD) and foreign (EUR) currency amounts. One of the advantages of as if currency processing is that it does not affect disk space. The as if currency amounts are not written to a table; instead, they are stored in temporary memory. Although this has no impact on disk space, it can affect processing time. To review sales order amounts in an as if currency, you must enter a default currency code and an exchange rate date in the processing options for the Customer Service Inquiry program (P4210). This activates the As If Currency field on the Customer Service Inquiry form. The system retrieves the exchange rate from the Currency Exchange Rates table (F0015) and calculates the as if currency amounts based on the base (domestic) currency of the sales order. The as if currency amount that you review might not be the same amount as the actual invoice or receipt because of fluctuating exchange rates. 11.8.3 Understanding Sales Ledger InformationYou can review sales ledger information for any orders that have been processed through the sales order process. Use sales ledger information to track sales orders and to determine when an order was entered or printed. You can also use this information for internal audit purposes. The system writes information to the S.O. Detail Ledger File table (F42199) based on the order activity rules. You can determine at which point the system writes order information to the table through status codes. For example, you might want to record information to the table during sales order entry, invoicing, and sales update. When you create a credit order from history, you retrieve the original order from the F42199 table. You must specify a version of the Sales Ledger Inquiry program (P42025) in the processing options of the version of the P4210 program that has been set up for credit orders. 11.8.4 PrerequisitesBefore you use the Credit Check form, you must activate A/R - Line of Business processing in the Enhanced A/R Constants. Before you access the Work With Sales Ledger Inquiry form, verify that the correct status codes are set up to record an entry in the S.O. Detail Ledger File table (F42199). Before you access the Work With Delivery Notes form, verify that the customer billing instructions for the customer are set up to print delivery notes and verify that the Delivery Notes Print program (R42535) has been run. 11.8.5 Forms Used to Review Customer and Sales Information
11.8.6 Reviewing Customer Account InformationAccess the Credit Check form. Amount DueReview the balance or amount due on an open invoice or voucher. In the Address Book Master table (F0101), the amount due is a memo amount that the system uses to determine whether a particular order exceeds a credit limit. Open Order AmountReview the total amount of open orders for a supplier or customer. The system uses the list price from the Item Location table (F41021), adjusted by the discount tables or any override price. You cannot override this amount. Total ExposureReview an amount of the total accumulated amount account receivables that is due and the total accumulated open order amounts for a given customer. Credit LimitReview the total amount that you allow the customer to spend on purchases before the system sends a workflow message. This is the value that the system uses throughout the credit management programs. The system maintains the credit limit at the customer (child) level, not at the parent level. The system sends workflow messages for customers over their credit limits. When you set up or change the credit limit, the system sends a workflow message to the credit manager, indicating that the change is pending approval. The system does not accept the change to the credit limit in the customer record until the credit manager approves the change. Over Credit LimitReview this field to determine the portion of a customer's total amount due that exceeds that customer's available credit limit. See Also:
11.8.7 Reviewing Sales OrdersAccess the Customer Service Inquiry form or the Manage Existing Order form. From the Form and Row menus, you can select options to locate additional types of information that relate to sales orders, such as:
11.8.8 Setting Processing Options for the Delivery Notes Inquiry Program (P42290)Processing options enable you to specify the default processing for the Delivery Notes Inquiry program (P42290). 11.8.8.1 VersionsUse these processing options to specify the default values that the system uses. A version is a user-defined set of specifications to control how applications and reports run. You use versions to group and save a set of user-defined processing option values and data selection and sequencing options. Interactive versions are associated with applications (usually as a menu selection). 1. Customer Service InquiryEnter a version of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) that the system uses for the P42290 program. 2. Sales Ledger InquiryEnter a version of the Sales Ledger Inquiry program (P42025) that the system uses for the P42290 program. 11.9 Reviewing Commission InformationThis section provides an overview of commission information, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:
11.9.1 Understanding Commission InformationYou can set up the commission information to reflect the company's sales environment. You can assign multiple salespeople or sales groups to each customer. After you enter an order and run the Sales Update program (R42800), the system applies a calculated commission amount to the salesperson's address book number or the address book number of each salesperson in the sales group. After the sales update, you can review commission information to ensure that the salespeople receive the correct amount. If necessary, you can modify existing information if you have proper security access. 11.9.2 PrerequisitesBefore you complete the tasks in this section, complete the following tasks:
11.9.3 Forms Used to Review Commission Information
11.9.4 Reviewing Commission InformationAccess the Sales Order Header Commission Lookup form or the Sales Order Detail Commission Lookup form. Total S/O (total sales order)Review the total monetary value of the extended list prices for the items on this order, less any applicable discounts. Line TotalReview the total monetary value of the extended list price for the item on this line, less any applicable discounts. Flat Commission AmountReview the value in this field to determine whether the employee receives a flat commission amount instead of a commission percentage. The per-unit amount must be supplies to calculate commission amounts against the invoice, gross margin, or cost. Per Unit AmountReview the monetary amount per unit of the item. Comm Code Type (commission code type)Review this field to determine whether the system calculated commission using invoice amount or gross margin. No matter which item the system uses, you should consider an amount as the starting point in the commission calculation and apply loading factors, fixed costs, minimum margins, and so on. 11.9.5 Reviewing Commission AccrualsAccess the Commission Accruals Lookup form. Salesprsn Code (salesperson code)Enter the standard for commission calculations, which requires a maximum of two salespersons and respective commission rates for each order line. To create a commission liability for more than two salespersons, you can relate individuals or entities (for royalties) to a single order line. To do so, set up a sales/commission/salesperson code that represents not one but many salespersons in the related salesperson file. The system inserts this code in the billing instructions record for any customer or during sales order entry to create multiple commission records at the appropriate point in the order processing cycle (one record for each related salesperson). Commission PercentageReview the percentage of an order sales amount payable to the salesperson. Flat Commission AmountReview this value, which specifies a commission amount. If a value is in this field, the employee received a flat commission amount instead of a commission percentage. The per-unit amount must be supplied to calculate commission amounts against the invoice, gross margin, or cost. Per Unit AmountReview the monetary amount per unit of the item. Comm Code Type (commission code type)Review this field to determine whether the system calculated commission using invoice amount or gross margin. No matter which item the system uses, you should consider an amount as the starting point in the commission calculation and apply loading factors, fixed costs, minimum margins, and so on. Commission AmountReview the value in this field. The system computes this monetary amount as a potential commission liability. Based upon the sales amount at the order or line level, this amount might be the result of cost of sales, overhead load factor, minimum gross margin, and so on. See Setting Up Commission Information. Order TotalReview the cost of sales amount. The system subtracts this amount from the order sales amount to calculate the gross profit amount for this order. Total Comm Amount (total commission amount)Review the monetary amount computed by the system. This is a potential commission liability. Based upon the sales amount at the order or line level, this amount might be the result of cost of sales, overhead load factor, minimum gross margin, and so on. See Setting Up Commission Information. Which function or department reconciles the products received from the warehouse with the shipping notice copy of the sales order received?Shipping department—verifies that the correct amount and types of goods are sent from the warehouse by reconciling the stock release document and the packing slip.
Which document is used to authorize the release of inventory from the warehouse?Waybill A Waybill (see Section 10) is used as the warehouse issuing document, certifying the transfer/release of goods.
Why does billing receive a copy of the sales order when the order is approved but does not bill until the goods are shipped?Why does billing receive a copy of the sales order when the order is approved but does not bill until the goods are shipped? The billing department's receipt of the sales order occurs in most instances before the goods are actually shipped; thus, the economic event is not complete.
Which document is used to Authorise the release of merchandise from inventory control warehouse to shipping?A bill of lading (BOL) is the official contract between the shipper or owner of goods and the freight carrier. It's the document used to confirm receipt of goods for shipment, and can only be signed by an authorized representative of the carrier upon receipt in order for the shipment to be released.
