Sales Order Record View

A Sales Order is a document generated by the seller upon receiving a request, or purchase order, from a buyer. It specifies the details about the product or service along with price, quantity, billing & shipping addresses, payment terms, and more. The purpose of this page is to record the details for sales transactions. From here, users can add and allocate items, edit shipping information, associate items to contracts, adjust freight accruals and more. Additionally, users may assign a price list to the transaction or reprice specific items as need. Journal details generated by the transaction may also be viewed from this page.

Once items have been added to the transaction, the 'Shipments' tab will be visible and allow for edit of shipment information.

In addition to Sales Orders, this record view is also used for the following:

  • Quotes: transactions used to give an estimate for a potential order by adding items, quantities and associated prices. Quantities entered may affect inventory if the item has been allocated. However, Quotes do not create journal entries, cannot be assigned contracts and do not generate invoices. When the Status of a Sales Quote is set to "Approved", it becomes a Sales Order transaction.
  • Returns: Transactions that allow users to quickly generate returns against Posted Invoices without the risk of returning items and/or lots that were never sold or returning more than was sold.
  • Price Adjustments: transactions that allow users to generate price adjustments against Posted Invoices.

(lightbulb) This record view also contains columns for each Attribute that is set up for the 'Sales Order Item' attribute type. Because these are user defined, they are not included in the default view but can be added a saved column layout. Sales Order Item attributes are not included in the help documentation.

Item Notes

Opens the Item Notes dialog, allowing users to enter Notes and/or attach files to the selected line item. If no line items are selected, the note(s) will be saved to all line items or appended to any existing Notes. Files can only be attached to a single selected line item. Item Notes can be added even after a transaction is posted.

Notes are used throughout the application to add additional details to Master Files and Transactions. Transactions and Master Files that support Notes store the text of the note in one or more 'Note Types' as a way to classify/organize notes. 

More Actions

 Displays a drop down menu of related actions. The list of options includes:

  • IQ: Sales Item History - Opens the Sales Item History Inquiry in a new tab/window for the selected Item(s) ordered on posted sales transactions in the past 90 days for the corresponding Customer.  If no Item(s) is selected the inquiry opens filtered for all Items for the associated customer.  Note: This is only visible on Quote and Order type transactions. 
  • Substitution - Opens the Sales Order Item Substitution Record View for users to view, update and delete substitution item(s) that can be used in place of an ordered item. Users may add substitution items directly to the sales transaction using this Record View. 
Quick Column Filter

The text in the Quick Column Filter text box automatically replaces any existing Filter Row filters. The results of the data immediately refresh as you enter text. 

Saved Layouts

 Displays the column layout lookup and related icons. This tool allows users to select a previously saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, forget/delete a layout and/or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to the layout, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Save Layout icon and save the changes to the column layout. The visibility of the Filter Row is also saved with a saved layout. The new layout can also be set as the default. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).  Default layouts can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default layout is selected.  

Please note that existing saved grid layouts will display the Filter Row as hidden by default.

If a user adds a new item to the transaction either by using the Item lookup, manually entering the full Item ID, Find Items, or Find Lots it will automatically be assigned to the first shipment which users can then edit based on the lookup and editability rules as mentioned above.  If a user adds an item using the Find Items with Balances and chooses a lot to match the site of a shipment, the item will be assigned to that shipment number, else it will be assigned to the first shipment. 

Database Field: ERPx_LMLoadHeader.LoadID

Substitute For

Identifies the Item ID the line item was substituted for. It is a non-editable textbox that is not required. If the item is not a substitute item, then it defaults as blank. If the item is a substitute item, then it defaults to the 'Item ID' field for the item it is substituted for. This field is informational and never editable.

Database Field: ERPx_SOOrderItem.OriginTransactionItemSK

Units

Displays the number of units allocated for the item on the transaction. This is a numeric text box that is not required. It defaults as "0.00" and is sometimes editable.

This field can only be edited, in the gird, for items where all the following are true:

  1. The Item's 'Item Type' Property is "Sales Inventory". If it is anything else then this value is updated from Units - Ord. on Save
  2. The Item's 'Manage Items By' Property is either "Units Only" or "Units and Weight". If the Item is 'Weight Only' the Units are not applicable. 
  3. The Item's 'Lot Tracked' Property is "No". If it is Lot Tracked, it must be allocated from one of the 'Allocation Option' pages.
  4. The Item is shipping from a non Warehouse Lot Tracked Site. If the Site is Warehouse Lot Tracked, it must be allocated from one of the 'Allocation Option' pages.
  5. The Status Setup page allows it for the current status of the transaction.
  6. The Sales Order Preference 'Update Allocated from Ordered for non-Lot Tracked Items shipping from non-Whse Lot Sites' is set to "No". If it is set to "Yes" then this value is updated from 'Units - Ord.' on Save


Database Field: ERPx_SOOrderItem.AllocatedUnits

Units - Ord.

Identifies the quantity of ordered units for the line item, formatted to the Item's 'Unit Decimals'. This is a numeric text box that is sometimes required. It defaults from the 'Units' entered for the line item on the Select Items Record View. For new line items added to the transaction, this field defaults to "0.00". This field is editable for items managed by 'Units Only' or 'Units and Weight' on transactions in a Status where the 'Allow Order Quantity Edit of Inventory Items' property is checked on the Status Setup List View. This field is always disabled on Price Adjustment transactions. If this field is editable, the following will be enforced:

  • For an item that is fixed weight and requires whole units:

    • When Units are entered: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer then the Weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units integer value.

  • For an item that is fixed weight and does not require whole units:

    • When Units are entered: the Weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units value. The Units value does not have to be an integer.

  • For an item that is variable weight and requires whole units:

    • When Units go from empty to a value: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer then the Weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units integer value.

    • When Units go from one value to another: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer but the Weight will NOT be recalculated.

(lightbulb) When Units go from one value to another on an item that is variable weight and requires whole units, Weight is not recalculated if the item's 'Allow Variable Ordered Qty' property is set to "Yes". Else, if the property is set to "No", then Weight will be recalculated.

Database Field: ERPx_SOOrderItem.OrderedUnits

Units UOM

Identifies the unit of measure that the units are stored in (Box, Bag, Case, Each, Tote, etc.) for a line item or on the transaction. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required for items managed by 'Units Only' or 'Units and Weight'.

It defaults from the 'Units UOM' field selected for the line item, on the Select Items page. For new line items added that are on a Price List, this defaults from the Price List. For new line items that are not on a Price List, this field defaults from the 'Sales Order Unit UOM' field on the 'Properties' tab of the Item Record View. This is editable for items managed by 'Units Only' or 'Units and Weight' on transactions in a Status where the 'Allow Order Quantity Edit of Inventory Items' property is checked on the Status Setup List View. This field is disabled for items managed by Weight Only. This field is always disabled for existing items on Price Adjustment and Return transactions.

A UOM is a quantity used as a standard of measurement. It identifies how much makes up "1" of the measurement. Examples include Bag, Box, Each, Kg, Lb, ext.

This lookup contains all 'Active' Unit UOMs on the selected Item's UOM Schedule.

(lightbulb) The 'Ord Units' and 'Ord. Weight' values need to be both positive or negative. Else, the message "Units and Weight must both be positive or both be negative" will be displayed when the user tabs out of either field.

Database Fields: ERPx_IMUOM.UOMName, ERPx_SOOrderItem.UnitUOMSK

Weight

Displays the weight quantity allocated for the item on the transaction. This is a numeric text box that is not required. It defaults as "0.00" and is sometimes editable.

This field can only be edited, in the gird, for items where all the following are true:

  1. The Item's 'Item Type' Property is "Sales Inventory". If it is anything else then this value is updated from Units - Ord. on Save
  2. The Item's 'Manage Items By' Property is either "Weight Only" or "Units and Weight". If the Item is 'Units Only' the Units are not applicable. 
  3. The Item's 'Lot Tracked' Property is "No". If it is Lot Tracked, it must be allocated from one of the 'Allocation Option' pages.
  4. The Item is shipping from a non Warehouse Lot Tracked Site. If the Site is Warehouse Lot Tracked, it must be allocated from one of the 'Allocation Option' pages.
  5. The Status Setup page allows it for the current status of the transaction.
  6. The Sales Order Preference 'Update Allocated from Ordered for non-Lot Tracked Items shipping from non-Whse Lot Sites' is set to "No". If it is set to "Yes" then this value is updated from 'Weight - Ord.' on Save

Database Field: ERPx_SOOrderItem.AllocatedWeight

Weight - Ord.

Identifies the ordered weight for the line item, formatted to the Item's 'Weight Decimals'. This is a numeric text box that is sometimes required. It defaults from the 'Weight' entered for the line item on the Select Items Record View. For new line items added to the transaction, this field defaults to "0.00". This field is editable for items managed by 'Weight Only' or 'Units and Weight' on transactions in a Status where the 'Allow Order Quantity Edit of Inventory Items' property is checked on the Status Setup List View. This field is always disabled on Price Adjustment transactions. If this field is editable, the following will be enforced:

  • For an item that is fixed weight and requires whole units:

    • When Weight is entered: the value will be rounded up to the nearest Weight that results in a whole Unit then the Units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value.

  • For an item that is fixed weight and does not require whole units:

    • When Weight is entered: the Units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value. The Weight value does not have to result in an integer Units value. However, because the Units and Weight values round to two decimal places, if the rounded Units value produced by the weight value does not convert to equal the weight value, the weight value will automatically update to equal the converted value of the units since the item is a fixed weight item.

  • For an item that is variable weight and requires whole units:

    • When Weight goes from empty to a value: the Units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value and then be rounded to the next whole Unit. Weight will remain as the user entered Weight, per the Item's 'Weight Decimals'.

    • When Weight goes from one value to another: the Units will NOT be recalculated.

(lightbulb) If the item's Manage Items By' property is "Units and Weight" and the 'Allow Variable Ordered Quantity' property is set to "No", this field will always be disabled. Entering a quantity in the 'Ord. Units' text box will automatically populate the 'Ord. Weight' field based on the item's UOM schedule setup.

Database Field: ERPx_SOOrderItem.OrderedWeight

Weight UOM

Identifies the unit of measure that the weight is stored in (Lbs, Kg, Oz, Ton, etc.) for a line item or on the transaction. This is a single-select standard lookup that is required for items managed by 'Weight Only' or 'Units and Weight'.

It defaults from the 'Weight UOM' field selected for the line item, on the Select Items page. For new items that are on a Price List, this field defaults from the Price List. For new line items that are not on a Price List, this field defaults from the 'Sales Order Weight UOM' field on the 'Properties' tab of the Item Record View. This field is editable for items managed by 'Weight Only' or 'Units and Weight' on transactions in a Status where the 'Allow Order Quantity Edit of Inventory Items' property is checked on the Status Setup List View. This field is disabled for items managed by Units Only. This field is always disabled for existing items on Price Adjustment and Return transactions.

A UOM is a quantity used as a standard of measurement. It identifies how much makes up "1" of the measurement. Examples include Bag, Box, Each, Kg, Lb, ext.

This lookup contains all 'Active' Weight UOMs on the selected Item's UOM Schedule.

(lightbulb) The 'Ord Units' and 'Ord. Weight' values need to be both positive or negative. Else, the message "Units and Weight must both be positive or both be negative" will be displayed when the user tabs out of either field.
