Sales Order A unique control number assigned to each new customer order,
usually during order entry. A sales order number is often used by order
promising, master scheduling, cost accounting, invoicing, and so on. For some
make-to-order products, a sales order number can also take the place of an end
item part number by becoming the control number that is scheduled through the
finishing operations. Position The number used to identify the position of the order line on
the sales or purchase order. Sequence Number The number used to identify in detail the position number of a
sales order (delivery) line or a purchase order line (detail). Item In LN,
the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be
purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit,
or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held
in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers.
The following are examples of nonphysical items: - Cost items (for example, electricity)
- Service items
- Subcontracting services
- List items (menus/options)
Ordered Quantity The quantity that must be delivered according to the terms on
the order line. The quantity is expressed in the purchase unit or the sales
unit of the item. Ordered Quantity The unit in which the Ordered Quantity is expressed. Planned Delivery Date The planned date on which the items on the order/schedule line
must be delivered. The planned delivery date cannot occur before the order
date/schedule generation date. Warehouse The warehouse from which
the goods are shipped. Order Promising Status A status that informs you about whether a sales quotation line,
sales order line, or sales component line can be promised to a customer, or
whether inventory checks must still be carried out or insufficient inventory
situations must still be resolved for the line. Delivery Type The delivery type of the sales order line. Project The code of the project for which the item
is required. Product Variant A unique configuration of a configurable item. The variant
results from the configuration process and includes information such as feature
options, components, and operations. Example Configurable item: electric drill Options: - 3 power sources (batteries, 12 V or 220 V)

A total of 6 product variants can be produced with these
options. Effectivity Unit A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project
deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item. | |
