Sales Order Processing Help
Once you have completed the criteria that determine the documents included in the batch process, a list of the documents is presented and you can change which ones are to be processed. By default, all documents in the list are selected for batch processing ('Yes' is shown in the Select column) unless an exception exists that prevents this or they contain traceable items and the Include Traceable Items option is cleared. Some exceptions can be overridden. These are indicated by the word 'No' in the Select column. Other exceptions, indicated by an asterisk (*) prevent the selection and processing of the item until the error condition is rectified. You can use the following commands on the Action menu.
Use this command | To |
---|---|
Sequence |
Change the order in which documents are listed. You can choose between Selection (that is, by document reference), Account, Route or Warehouse (if you have multi-warehouses feature activated). |
(De) Select |
Toggle the selection of a line on or off. If selected, the word 'Yes' appears in the Select column. If the word 'No' appears in the Select column, an exception condition exists, but you can still change the status to 'Yes'. If an asterisk (*) appears in the Select column, an exception exists that prevents the document from being selected. |
Fulfil Traceable Items |
Automatically assign serial or batch numbers to documents in the suggested list that include traceable items. Traceable stock only applies if you have the traceability feature activated. If you need to process stock records that are traceable by serial or batch numbers, refer to the Traceability section within the Stock module documentation for information. |
Reverse Selection |
Reverse all selections so that selected items are deselected and vice versa. This does not affect those for which an exception condition exists. |
Accept |
Accept the selections and proceed with the batch document progression. If detail line exceptions occur, for example, stock shortages preventing certain documents from being processed, these are indicated when the batch process is complete. If one or more orders in a consolidated delivery or invoice are rejected during processing, then the consolidated document is rejected as a whole, even though there may be individual orders within the consolidation that can be satisfied. |
View |
View details of the selected document including status, header, line details, and totals. |
Exceptions |
Displays the exception details associated with the document. If you ticked the E-mail only box on the criteria form, those customers that are not set to allow documents to be emailed are displayed as exceptions. For more information, see the Batch Processing Help topic. |
Display a dialog in which you can specify if accounts that are currently over their credit limit or will go over their credit limit when the Batch Processing or Repeat Invoicing is run, or accounts on stop should be included in the Batch Processing or Repeat Invoicing run. Note: This command is only enabled if the Override Credit Exceeded and A/C On Stop Status option on the Set Options form has been selected. |
|
Memo |
Display the memo associated with the document. |
Depending on whether stock is moved at delivery note or invoice stage, an exceptions report is displayed if you are progressing to the delivery note or invoice.
Quantity exceeds free stock levels.
Stock below reorder level (for each warehouse).
Stock below minimum stock level (for each warehouse).
Negative stock levels (for each warehouse).
Warning: Stock is still issued even if an exception is displayed. The report is intended only as a warning about the stock position.
Sometimes documents cannot be posted because either the document's details are incomplete or because of the customer's status, for example they may be over the credit limit. Some exceptions can be overridden, other exceptions cannot.
