Batch ordering

Batch ordering is controlled by the demand schedule records. There can be more than one of these demand schedule records in the schedule file at one time, to be processed at different intervals and executing different queries.

These schedule records determine when and how often to generate orders. They also define what field values cause a break to a new order, as quotes are processed. The options here include values found in the following.

  • vendor
  • vendor.contract.no
  • trans.type
  • bill.to.code
  • ship.to.code
  • shipping.terms
  • tax.rate
  • payment.terms

Determining what causes a break to a new order line item is also contained in the demand schedule records. The options include values from the following.

  • payment.freq
  • no.of.payments
  • part.no
  • unit.cost
  • unit.of.measure
  • discount
