Canceled Order Archive Consolidate Query (OE46)

The Display Cancelled Orders (OE46) program:

  1. Displays sales orders cancelled and archived through Enter Orders/Quotes (OE30). Note: Sales Orders can only be archived through OE30 when the 'Cancel Order Action' field in Company Control Initialization (CC00/Order Entry) is set to 'Prompt', 'Always Archive with Reason' or 'Always Archive no Reason'.

  2. Allows you to generate new orders or quotes from a cancelled/archived sales order by clicking on the Generate button. For more information on generating new orders, see the Generate New Orders topic.

When an order is cancelled, you have the option at the point of deletion to send all of the order header and detail information into the Cancelled Order Archive table. By archiving these cancelled/deleted orders, you retain all of the original quantities, prices, etc. and if the customer calls back at some point in the future and wants to reinstate the order, customer service can simply recall the order out of the archive and reinstate it into the live order entry system as a new order. You can edit the original order by manipulating product quantities, adjusting prices, changing ship to's, etc.

Another advantage to archiving cancelled/deleted orders is that the archive can be used to represent lost sales potential. If you wish to utilize the cancel order archive to manage lost sales opportunities, then it is highly recommended that you use the 'reason code' feature available in Cancelled Order Reason Codes (OE11). A reason code can be tagged to the order as it is archived. With the reason codes, which you create and maintain in OE11, you can use iTopia views to analyze why your customers are cancelling orders.

  • A cancelled order can be reinstated as a new order or quote using the Generate Order button. The order/quote is created with a new order number and the cancelled order number is deleted by the system. Note: When generating an order that includes models, only the mandatory components will be added to the new order for the model.

  • The Payment Method on the new order/quote defaults to 'ON ACCT'.

  • If the cancelled order was entered with an 'EFT only' AR Terms code, you must select an alternate Terms code in OE46 and make the necessary changes to the new order in OE30.

  • Once the new order/quote is generated, it is automatically put on a manual hold in OE30.

  • The cancelled order number displays on the new order as a comment: "Generated from XXXXXX-Canc."

  • Only quotes can be generated for Prospects.

    • Earliest Receipt Date
      • Determines the earliest date the customer will accept receipt of the product(s).
      • Defaults to the current Enterprise system date.
      • You can edit this field. This date can be equal to or greater than the Order date but cannot be greater than the Date Required.

    • Date Required
      • Defined as the date the customer requires the product(s).
      • Defaults to the current Enterprise system date.
      • You can edit this field. This date can be equal to or greater than the Order Date, but cannot be more than 2 years into the future.
      • Modifying the Required Date automatically sets the Earliest Receipt Date to the same date.

    • Cancel Date
      • Indicates when the customer will no longer accept the goods.
      • Defaults to 2 years from the current Enterprise system date. This date cannot be less than the Required Date.
