Sales Orders > Order Intake Query

Order Intake Query

You use this program to analyze the intake of sales orders according to a range of selection criteria.

Options

Field Description
Transaction dates selection These options enables you to indicate the dates for which you want to include sales order lines in the query.
Include options  
Include branch in product class

Includes the branch when generating the list of product classes. This enables you to analyze product classes separately by branch (useful when the same product exists in different branches).

Include branch in salesperson

Includes the salesperson information by branch (useful when the same salesperson code exists in different branches).

Filter by Key

The tree view in this pane enables you to indicate specific order lines to display in the Sales Order Lines pane, based on specific selection criteria. Changes are reflected as you make your selections.

Field Description
Key  
All Includes orders for all the key fields listed in the tree view.
Branches Indicate the Accounts Receivable branch for which you want to display orders.
Customers Indicate the customer for whom you want to display orders.
Geographic areas Indicate the geographic area for which you want to display orders.
Operators Indicate the operator for whom you want to display orders.
Product classes Indicate the product class for which you want to display orders.
Salespersons Indicate the salesperson for whom you want to display orders.

Sales Order Lines

Column Description
Line The line number allocated to the item when the sales order was originally created.

This may differ from the number currently reflected on the order if you lines have been inserted (the lines are renumbered and although the line number on the order may have changed, the line number displayed in the query is not changed).

Value

The Total order intake value displayed at the bottom of this column is recalculated to reflect only the list of orders displayed.

This value is realistic only if you selected to generate all order analysis files. In particular, ensure that if you enabled the Orders/lines cancelled option, that you also enable the Output detail lines when cancelling the whole order option.

Operator

The name of the operator who added, changed or cancelled a sales order.

See Field considerations in Notes and warnings.

Order quantity

For new sales orders, this is the order quantity entered.

For cancelled sales orders, this is the order quantity at the time the order was cancelled.

For changed sales orders, this is the difference between the original order quantity and the new (changed) order quantity.

Order unit of measure  

Notes and warnings

Restrictions and limits

  • In order to create the files required by this program, you need to enable the Order Analysis files to be generated setup option.

  • Blanket sales order details are included if you have enabled the Include blanket sales orders setup option.

  • Changes made to the header of a sales order after it has been saved, are not reflected in the Order Intake Query (e.g. if you change the salesperson for an order after saving the order, the new salesperson is not reflected against the order in this program.

    Only changes made to an order line which affect the value of that order line (e.g. changes to quantity or price) are reflected on the Order Intake Query as changes.

  • Values are displayed exclusive of tax if the tax code used for a sales order is inclusive and you have enabled the option: Reduce S/O value by tax amount when tax is inclusive.

Field considerations

Operator access to the following fields within this program can be restricted. You configure this using the Security Fields function of the Operators program.
