Sales order line DO
You can enter several products from different sources on the same order using line Direct Orders, or line DOs. You can enter line items for products from your inventory, or the products can be obtained from vendors and warehouses and shipped directly to your customer. If the product can be ordered on an existing purchase order or warehouse transfer for the customer, a line item is added to the existing document. If a purchase order or warehouse transfer does not fit the required criteria, a new document is created.
When you enter a line DO, it is tied to a purchase order or warehouse transfer. The tie cannot be eliminated unless the sales order line is deleted. If the purchase order or warehouse transfer has not been printed, the corresponding line is deleted. If you make changes to the sales order line after the purchase order or warehouse transfer is printed, you must reprint the purchase order or warehouse transfer to reflect the changes.
If you creating a line DO for a product designated with a direct ship status in Product Warehouse Product Setup, you must tie the line to a source document to add the line to the order.
If the line DO is back ordered, the tie is moved to the back order. You receive notification when the products are shipped to the customer. The order can be invoiced, and it flows through regular processing channels.
If the tie is on a Blanket line item (BL), which is a requirement for BL lines, the tie is created when the BL is converted to a Blanket Release (BR).
