Processing control fields

Field	Description
Line Item Query	The query overrides the default query run against the ocml file. For example: avail.to.order=true and reorder.type=“b” and open=true and quantity.balance>0 and target.order<=tod()
Order Category	When you specify an order category while you create an order, your order category overrides the default order category. The default order category is that associated with the line item as defined in the modelvendor record.

Order breaks and line item breaks

While tailoring an implementation’s order process, the Order Breaks and Line Item Breaks array fields on the Demand Schedule record provide a list of field names in a sequence that must coincide with a key in the ocml database dictionary record. The system checks for field name differences as each record is processed, and this determines when to complete the current order or line item and start a new one (for example, when to “break”).

Important: In the base system’s ocml database dictionary record, the key contains five fields. Do not modify this key.

• avail.to.order
• reorder.type
• open
• quantity.balance
• target.order

OCM order create for Line Item Schedule record

• Also called Background Order Demand.
• For batch -- demand order processing. Runs the ocmo.create.order application.
• Uses high breaks for order breaks (for example, creates new order record).
• Uses low breaks for line item breaks (for example, creates a new line item entry within current order).
• Will automatically use the “backend” field as the first high break. This field is used when certain orders are sent to an external system.
