     • Whenever an item is ordered in one of the transaction programs (OE30, IN41 or RS41), a check is performed to determine if the current customer has backorders or active quotes for the selected item. If a backorder or active quote exists, the Backorders & Quotes Already on File screen displays to alert you of the Customer's backorder/quote position for that Product. This allows you to ensure that the current request for the Product represents a new Order, and not a duplicate of what is already on backorder.

5. The Price field is based on the Pricing Routine. The Pricing Routine has a 'Best Price' or 'Hierarchy' Price Control as defined in CC00/Support.

Press Tab to accept the Price displayed in the 'Price' field.
   For more information on Customer pricing in SU13/Pricing, click here.

   • Changing the 'Per' field may change the extension of the current Order line. For example, the current Per is EA and the factor is 1, and you enter a quantity of 10 for $10.00, the line extension is $100.00. If the Per field is changed to a Per that has a factor of 12, the extension for the line is 8.33 (100 (single unit value)/12 (per factor) * 10 (Qty ordered) = 8.33)

7. The Discount field defaults to the Discount maintained in IM18 for the selected Price List for the current Order line. You can override the Discount by entering a new Discount or removing the existing Discount.

     • 30/10/5 (Chain discount)
     • 33.333 (Fractional discount)
     • 33 (Precent discount)

   • Note: The Discount percent assigned to Order detail line is retained for the life of the Order detail line, i.e. the Discount applied on the Customer Invoice even if Pricing Table entries have since changed.

8. When all of the information for the Order detail line is correct, click Update. Once the line is updated, the following messages may display depending on the stock position of the Product and/or how the Product is maintained:
   • If the Product entered already exists on Future Orders that are nearing their Release date and there is insufficient stock, the following message displays: "WARNING! Insufficient stock available to fill Future Orders nearing their release date. OK". Click OK to close the message window. You can continue to enter the current Product or you can enter a different Product.

   • If stock is being depleted by the Order detail line, the message following message display: "Warning Depleting Stock, OK." Click OK to close the message window.

Disc' Percentages set up for the Master Price list in IM18 or the dollar value entered violates the percentages in these fields, the following message displays: "Warning, Discount is greater than maximum allowable on this product. OK". Click OK to close the message window.

Button Label	Icon	Functionality
Supp. Charge		The Supp. Charge button accesses the Supplementary Charge screen. This enables you to enter a Supplementary Charge detail line, for example, a non-product charge such as Freight. For more information on Supplementary Charges click here. Note: A Supp. Charge can be set up to give a discount off an Invoice value. If the Supp. Charge appears as the last line of the Invoice, then the discount is calculated on the value of all lines above. If the Supp. Charge prints between lines, then the discount is calculated on the value of those lines appearing above it. During Order Entry, you can leave the 'Units' field on the Supplementary Charges screen blank.
Comments		The Comments button accesses the Comment screen. Comments may be added to Sales Orders, Sales Quotations, Invoices, Credit Notes, Direct Bills, and Retail Sales Receipts.

Extra Notes on the DELETE function in IN41/Lines:

If you try to delete a line on an Invoice, the following message displays: "Product Order Lines cannot be deleted while Invoicing! Set quantities to 0. OK". Click OK to close the message window. You can recall the Order line and enter zero (0) in the B/O and To Ship fields.

• When a Product line is deleted from a transaction, the 'reservation' and 'backorder' quantities are rolled back to update the Product's Available Quantity. At this point, Enterprise checks whether or not the Demand for this Product should also be rolled back. Demand for a Product is tracked separately from Sales in Enterprise to more accurately reflect market conditions for the Product.

• For example, some Products that are in high demand cannot be filled from the available Inventory and Backorders are created as a result. Some Customers may elect to cancel the Backorder in favor of a substitute Product.

• Enterprise tracks Product Demand separately from Product Sales, and uses the Demand history as its basis for forecasting. Each time a quantity of the Product is updated against a transaction, Enterprise updates the Demand for the Product instantly, so that the Purchasing system has the most up-to-date information to work with at all times.

• When a Product line is deleted from a transaction, Enterprise requests that you consider the cause of the cancellation in terms of its effect on Demand by prompting you to answer, "Is this a customer cancellation due to inventory availability? Yes/No".
  • If the cancellation is due to the unavailability of the Product, select Yes. This directs Enterprise to leave the Demand for that Product in place. In this way, the Purchasing system is able to take into account the Demand for that quantity of the Product, even if due to its unavailability the Demand could not be met to produce a sale.

  • If the cancellation is due to other factors i.e. not related to availability, select No. This directs Enterprise to roll back the Demand as if it never existed. You typically select 'No' when you are deleting an incorrect Product line or an entire Order processed against the wrong Customer.

• If you create an Invoice for a Sales Order using Transaction Type 'Invoice' and you delete the Invoice using Delete Records , the following message displays: "Delete Invoice? Yes/No". Select Yes to delete the Invoice, leaving the Sales Order intact, including all modifications to the Order. Select No to cancel the delete request.
