Open Order Management

For distributors who experience a large number of future orders (weeks or months in advance of anticipated shipment)

Allows user to record future orders as DMAS open orders (therefore, does not allocate inventory at entry time)

However, methods are provided for viewing “pending demand”

QSEARCH includes a column for “Pending Demand” by warehouse

3

Open Order Management

New “Open Order Item Demand Inquiry” provides method of viewing pending demand– At item level– Displays up to 3 warehouses at a time– Pending demand summarized by time frame– Time frame may be monthly, weekly, or

number of days keyed by the user

4

Open Order Management

You can now see by warehouse– What’s in stock– What’s allocated to sales orders– What’s on back order for customers– What’s pending in open orders (can break down by any time

frame)

– What’s on order from vendor– What’s on back order from vendor

Performance report available to help measure how well shipments have met the user’s requested ship dates

5

Open Order Management

Utilizes Requested Ship Date and Release Date to help determine when to release an open order

Each order must have a Requested Ship Date– If not keyed by user, will be calculated by the software

User defines– SOP (Standard Order Processing) days – Average days

to process a sales order from pick list print to shipping– AOP (Additional Order Processing) days – Additional

days required to process open orders starting at release time

6

Open Order Management

Based on SOP and AOP, software will determine– At order entry, if off-line orders should be open order

or sales order

– When open order should be released for picking and shipping if release date was left blank

– When orders entered interactively, entry clerk controls whether order is open order or sales order

– If calculated dates are inconsistent with order type being entered, entry clerk is warned

7

Open Order Management

SOP/AOP calculations– Requested ship date less SOP days less AOP

days results in open order release date– If requested ship date less SOP days less AOP

days results in a date that is equal to or older than current date, order should be entered as sales order

– If requested ship date less SOP days less AOP days results in a date that is larger than current date, order should be entered as an open order

8

Open Order Management

A function is provided that automatically changes order steps for those open orders ready to be released.

Use DMAS Automated Release function to then release desired open orders to sales order processing

9

Open Order Management

This enhancement also provides an automated method for releasing DMAS open backorders

This enhancement also looks for sales orders for which nothing can be immediately shipped– Identifies “nothing shipped” orders– Provides a function to generate the backorder

without generating a “zero invoice”
