SOE Warning Prompts Control Maintenance Records

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. ClosedMore:

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.

This is only a warning. When the credit limit is exceeded, the system puts the account on hold.
