Back Order Maintenance

An update has been released for Back Order Maintenance. The following changes have been made to the Back Order Maintenance window:

  • Users are now able to perform a blank search by pressing Apply when the search fields are empty.
  • When searching for Back Orders, the ‘Status’ option of ‘Overdue’ can be used to filter the list to only Back Orders with a ‘Follow Up Date’ set less than or equal to the current date.
  • A new  ‘Invoice Cus Back Orders’ button is now available. This will give the user the ability to load any Ready Back Orders into Invoice Entry for the selected Customer. On completion (or if voided), the user will be placed back at the Back Order Maintenance Screen.
  • The below Configurable Options can be now seen in Back Order Maintenance:
    •  Follow Up Date (New field)
    •  Back Order Value (Line extension Inc based on Back Order Quantity)
    •  Stock Allocated Value (Line extension Inc based on Stock Allocated Quantity)
    •  Conversation (Image to indicate a Conversation exists for the Back Order. Users can click the image to load the Back Order Log screen and view the Conversation)
  • The below options have been added to the top section of the Modify/Display screen:
    • Order No
    • Forward Date
    • Priority
    • Priority Date
    • Follow Up Date

These fields at the top of the screen will be available to modify when all lines attached to that specific Sales Order have the same value in the related field. For example, the Follow Up date will be modifiable in the top section if all Product lines in that Back Order have the same Date set in the bottom ‘Follow Up Date’ field. So if each line is blank or contains the date DD/MMM/YY the ‘Follow Up Field’ date will become visible and will change the value on all lines, not just the one selected.

  • For sites that have Central Shipping Active-If the current logged in User is attached to a Business Unit, they are only able to find Back Orders for Customers they have access to.
