Purpose of Program

 

Use this program to split off release quantities from a lump sum blanket order generating new sales order lines reflecting released ship date, reducing the blanket line quantity, and making the released lines available to convert to work orders or be available to be picked up as near term demand by MRP.

 

General Program Operation

 

Enter the Sales Order Number.  Blanket Sales Orders have a single part number and start with a single line for the total blanket order quantity, a ship date far in the future so it does not generate demand for MRP.  The blanket line also has to be so designated by entering a B in the status field on the Sales Order Line item entry screen.  Once the blanket order exists, in this program, enter the blanket order number and then enter one or more release quantities and ship dates.  Save each one to populate the list of release dates, then when all release dates have been entered, click Process.  The program will reduce the first blanket line quantity and then create sales order lines for each release quantity and date.
