Order Management Controls

    Note: This section is available only when Order Management is activated in CC00/Order Entry/Order Management. If Order Management is not activated, these fields are gray and cannot be accessed.

    The fields under the Order Management Controls (except Zone) are used to define the priority assigned to the current Customer's Sales Order. For details on how Order Priority is determined,

      • High
      • Medium

    1. If Maintain Ship To Address (SU14) includes an E-mail Contact, then that contact is used;

    2. If there is no Contact listed in SU14, then the system checks Maintain Customer Master SU13/Info and uses the Contact listed in the 'Contact to E-mail' field;

    3. If there is no Contact listed in SU13, and the 'E-mail Confirm' field in PS41 is left blank, then no Confirmation is sent via E-mail.
