Improved Add Orders screen

New input screens are included in this release for adding fixed orders. This enhancement presents a dedicated order entry form dependent on adding a production, purchase or transfer order; simplifying manual order entry.

Access to the new add order menus is linked to the cycle's Replenishment Engine. The fixed transactional data measures in the engine's Order Mapping support the new add orders options. However, the attributes linked to Purchase, Processes and Transfer Out in the Supply Allocation Mapping provide the available entry options.

The new form is accessed by right-clicking on a transactional data measure linked to the engine's Order Mapping and selecting the applicable menu option. The possible menu options:

  • Add Purchase Order - contains new options for selection of: Process Item, Process Location and Process Version.
  • Add Production Order - contains: Item, Location, Supplier.
  • Add Transfer Order - contains: Item, Source, Destination, Transport Method

Selection options are driven by the current context, so navigating to base combinations for fixed order entry can pre-select options using the current context. The valid selection options are based on the valid combinations (TUPLES) and attributes linked back to the cycle’s replenishment engine.

The Add Transaction option from previous releases is still accessible for any transactional data that is not linked to orders in the cycle's replenishment engine.

By default, this feature is enabled. Supply cycles with a replenishment engine that is defined now displays the new options when accessible. No additional role or privilege is required to access this feature.
