Field Information

Change Reason

The code identifying the change reason.

Update Lost Sales

If this check box is selected, the item's lost sales figures are updated in the Item Issue by Period (whinr1520m000) and Item Issue by Warehouse and Period (whinr1530m000) sessions following a change in the sales order (line).

Example

If an item on a sales order line is changed from item X to item Y (because item X is not in stock), you can decide to register item X as Original Demand or as Lost Sales. When LN updates the demand and lost sales for item X, the inventory history shows a demand for item X. LN then takes this demand into account when item X is produced or purchased. If you do not log the demand for item X, LN only takes the demand for item Y into account, so future production or purchasing will concentrate on item Y.

Update Demand

If this check box is selected, the item's demand figures are updated in the Item Issue by Period (whinr1520m000) and Item Issue by Warehouse and Period (whinr1530m000) sessions following a change in the sales order (line).
