Setting Up Order Promising

The Order Promising feature enables you to promise an order to be shipped or delivered on a specific date. The program calculates the date that an item is available to promise or capable to promise, and it will create order lines for those dates that you accept.

To Set Up Order Promising:

  1. Open the Order Promising Setup window.

  2. Enter a number and time unit code in the Offset (Time) field. Select one of the following codes: "d" for calendar day, "w" for week, "m" for month, "q" for quarter or "y" for year. For example, "3w" indicates that the offset time is three weeks. Use "c" as a prefix to any of these codes to indicate the current time unit. For example, if you want the offset time to be the current month, enter "cm."

  3. Enter a number series in the Order Promising Nos. field by clicking the AssistButton and selecting a line from the list in the No. Series window.

  4. Enter an order promising template in the Order Promising Template field by clicking the AssistButton and selecting a line from the list in the Req. Worksheet Template List window.

  5. Enter a requisition worksheet in the Order Promising Worksheet field by clicking the AssistButton and selecting a line from the list on the Req. Wksh. Names window.
