Create KP Back Orders At Stage

You can back order any portion of a work order for prebuilt kit products. Back orders are created when the quantity shipped, which is the quantity that can be built, is less than the quantity ordered and the BO option on the work order is selected. The difference between the shipped and ordered quantities is moved to a new work order suffix when the quantity ordered. If entire work order is back ordered, the -00 suffix becomes the back order.

You can create back orders during entry, printing, or acceptance. This table list the functions during which back orders can be created, based on your selection:

Option value Function
Entry (1) KP Work Order Center Entry - Quick Work Order Entry and Acceptance, KP Entry Recommended Work Orders Report, Sales Entry Processing Back Order Fill Report, Sales Order Entry
Printing (2) KP Entry Print Work Orders Report and KP Work Order Center Entry
Acceptance (3) KP Work Order Center Entry - Acceptance

We recommend that you select Printing. After a work order is printed, any components that cannot be filled are moved to a back order. This clearly separates the original work order from the back order.

Entry

Previous Version Tolerance

Specify the tolerance for changes in the kit value. The tolerance can be an amount or a percentage. When you change the VA product setup on an open VA order, the difference between the previous and new value is calculated. You are warned if the difference exceeds the tolerance specified here.

Specify 0 if you do not want to set a tolerance threshold.

Type
Specify whether the value in the Previous Version Tolerance field is an amount or percentage.
