SOE Warning Prompts

The following control maintenance records belong to the SOE (Sales Order Entry) category and apply to SOE warning prompts.

OE Warn If Procuring From Vendor Consignment

For each branch, indicate whether the system displays a warning in the Order Entry Procurement window if a user is attempting to procure from a branch that has vendor consignment stock on hand. More:

Options	Yes - Displays the following warning message in the OE Procurement window: You Are About To Procure Material From A Branch That Contains Vendor Consigned Material, Continue (Y/N). If the user enters Yes, then procurement continues as usual, with the understanding that the material might be allocated from a vendor consignment location. If the user enters No, then procurement is aborted. No - Does not display a warning when a user selects to procure from a branch with vendor consigned inventory.
Outcome of setting this control record	The potential exists for the material to be allocated from a vendor consignment location in the shipping branch and placed in a tagged location type in the receiving branch. When the material is actually transferred, the branch that the material is transferred to no longer indicates that the material is vendor consignment stock. This scenario can cause problems for sites that identify sales of vendor consignments only when the material is actually billed on a sales order, as opposed to considering branch transfers of vendor consignment material as sales. Use this record to help avoid users procuring from vendor consigned inventory.
Default Value(s)	No
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.
Additional Information	None

Warn About Additional Lead Time During OE

Indicate whether the system displays a warning message in the order entry Body or Status tab indicating the number of lead-time days required for a new order. More:

Options	Yes - If a number is specified in the Required Date Lead Time field on the Additional Customer Data window, the system displays a message. No - If no value is assigned in the Required Date Lead Time field for a customer, the warning message never displays for that customer.
Outcome of setting this control record	Determines if the system warns order writers about the required lead time for a customer as entered in the Required Date Lead Time field in Customer Maintenance.
Default Value(s)	No
Dependencies	If a value is assigned in the Required Date Lead Time field for a customer and the Mirror Required Date And Ship Date For New Orders control maintenance record is set to Yes, this record has no effect.
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.
Additional Information	None

Warn User If Customer Within X% Of Credit Limit

Enter the percentage of a customer's credit limit at which the system displays a warning message in order entry. More:

Options	Any percentage between 0 and 99.99.
Outcome of setting this control record	When this record is set to a number greater than zero and the customer's balance is within, but not yet over, the designated percentage of their credit limit, the system displays a message in SOE warning the user that the customer is within this percentage of their credit limit. This is only a warning. When the credit limit is exceeded, the system puts the account on hold.
Default Value(s)	0.00%
Action if set to Null	The system does not prompt when a customer is about to exceed their credit limit.
Additional Information	For more information about setting a customer's credit limit, see Defining Payment Terms and Credit Control Parameters .

Warn User If Customer Within X% Of Past Due Limit

Enter the percentage of a customer's past due limit at which the system should display a warning message. More:

Options	Any percentage between 0 and 99.99.
Outcome of setting this control record	When this record is set to a number greater than zero (0) and the customer's balance is within, but not yet over, the designated percentage of their past due days limit, the system displays a message in sales order entry warning the user that the customer is within this percentage of their past due days limit. This is only a warning. When the past due limit is exceeded, the system puts the account on hold.
Default Value(s)	0.00%
Action if set to Null	A message does not display.
Additional Information	For more information about setting a customer's past due limit, see Defining Payment Terms and Credit Control Parameters .
