Sequence numbers on sales orders

Sequence numbers are used if more than one delivery takes place on an order line. More than one delivery can occur, for example, with back orders.

As a result, sequence numbers are used as follows:

  • If an order line is generated in the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session, the sales order line's sequence number is zero. You can fill in all fields.
  • If an order line is split or a back order is generated for the order line, the original order line's sequence number remains zero. The sequence number for the delivery lines of the split sales order line, or the sequence number of the back order line are greater than zero.
Note

In the Sales Order Line (tdsls4101m900) session, you can specify the sequence number before the order is released.

Example

Adding an order line:

Sequence numberOrder quantityPlanned delivery date
010014/12

 

Splitting of the order line:

Sequence numberOrder quantityPlanned delivery date
010014/12
18014/12
22021/12

 

After final delivery:

Sequence numberOrder quantityPlanned delivery dateDelivered quantityBack order quantity
18014/127010
22021/12200
31028/12100

 

Sequence number 3 is a back order line.
