Creating a Season Handled Customer Order

Outcome

A customer order has been connected to a specific season.

The season identity can be used as sorting and following-up criteria.

Before you start

• Check that the 'Project management' field is not selected in 'Company. Connect Division' (MNS100/J).
• A season must be defined in 'Season. Open' (CRS912).
• The style and the corresponding variant item numbers must be connected to the season during the creation in 'Style. Create Items by Matrix' (MMS077).

Follow these steps

1. Create a customer order header with season

   Use this activity to create a new customer order. Pay special attention to the season and the delivery window that must be entered in the 'Project number' and 'Project element number' fields. Depending on the settings, these two fields may be automatically defaulted.

   Use a customer order type that has the 'Season in use' parameter set to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.

   The season and delivery window are the only differences between this kind of customer order and ordinary customer orders.

2. Create a customer order line with season

   After the customer order header is created, you create an order line for each item you would like to sell. Preferably you do this in 'Full-screen Entry - Matrix. Open' (CRS207) or 'Full-screen Entry - List. Open' (CRS208) on the style level. The different customer order lines containing the SKUs (Stock Keeping Unit) are then created automatically.

   Pay special attention to the season and the delivery window that must be entered in the 'Project number' and 'Project element number' fields. Depending on the settings, these two fields may be automatically defaulted.

   The 'Season in use' setting on the order type defines which items can be entered as order lines:

   • 1 = Season used, only items connected to the season on the order header are allowed
   • 2 = Season used, all items allowed. Items not connected to the season on the order header are displayed with blue color in (CRS207) and (CRS208)
   • 3 = Season used, all items allowed
   • 4 = Season used, items connected to the season on the order header and items not controlled by any season are allowed
   • 5 = Season used, items connected to the season on the order header and items not controlled by any season are allowed. Items not connected to any season are displayed with blue color in (CRS207) and (CRS208).

For alternatives 2-5 the season on the order header is assigned to the order lines for items that are not connected to any season or to the season on the order header.
