Orders

The Orders module allows for the creation of various types of orders within the system. Orders are controlled from the point of placement to fulfillment.

When entering orders into the system, they are all divided into two parts, the Order Header and the Order Detail. The first set of information that is inputted is the Order Header information (containing location, priority etc). Once the Order Header information is saved, the second set of information (the Order Detail information containing the Part Number, delivery date etc) is entered.

The Order Header and Detail screens are basically the same for each Order Type. Some variations on the screens may occur between different Order Types (i.e. between a Purchase Order and an Exchange Order).
The buttons that appear on the Order Header and Detail screens are explained throughout each Order section they pertain to.

Once the Order information has been entered, the status of the order will be 'Open.' The status of the order is 'Closed' upon receiving of the ordered item. Receiving of the order is performed via the Receiving module.
