SOE Display Parameters

The following control maintenance records belong to the SOE (Sales Order Entry) category and apply to display parameters.

Display Active Primary Index Products First In Product Search

Indicate whether the system displays active products in the Product Primary Index for the stocking/shipping branch when users do product searches. An active product is one that has been previously sold or purchased at a location, or is physically on-hand. Using the F10 option in the search results list repeats the search in additional product indexes. More:

Options	Yes - The system displays active products in the Product Primary Index for the stocking/shipping branch. Press F10 to repeat the search in the Product Primary Index for all stocking/shipping branches. Press F10 a second time to repeat the search in the Product Catalog Index. Press F10 a third time to repeat the search in the PDW Catalog Index, if your company has PDW installed. If a product is not active for a branch, the system defaults to the Product Primary Index for all stocking/shipping branches. If a branch input is not required in the window where you are searching for a product, the system builds the Product Primary Index based on your home branch. No - The system displays the Product Primary Index for all stocking/shipping branches. Press F10 to repeat the search in the Product Catalog Index. Press F10 a second time to repeat the search in the PDW Catalog Index, if your company has PDW installed.
Outcome of setting this control record	Setting this record to Yes increases system performance by limiting the products displayed to those with on-hand quantities or on transactions at the stocking/shipping branch.
Default Value(s)	No
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.
Additional Information	When enabling this record, the system prompts you to build the active product index. To avoid system performance issues, build the index during non-peak use hours. When disabling this record, the system prompts you to delete the active product index to free disk space. To avoid usage conflict, delete files during non-peak use hours. When adding, removing, or changing a branch designation from stocking to non-stocking, the system also prompts to build or delete the index.

Note: The F9 Additional Search Criteria functionality is available for all product searches. For windows on which a branch entry is not required, such as the Customer/Vendor Part Number Detail window, the system defaults to the user's home branch designated in User Maintenance.

Display Alternate Billing Address In OE

Indicate whether the system displays the alternate billing address in the Body and Header tabs for sales or transfer orders. More:

Options	Yes - Displays the alternate billing address followed by Alt. No - Displays the standard billing address
Outcome of setting this control record	If set to Yes, the system uses the alternate address in sales order entry when a ship-to customer has an alternate billing address or in transfer order entry when a ship-from branch has an alternate billing address.
Default Value(s)	No
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.
Additional Information	For more information, see Entering Alternate Billing Addresses.

Display Customers/Vendors Who Are Inactive At A Branch

Use this record to enable the functionality that allows authorized users to override denied branch accessibility for customers and vendors. More:

Options	Yes - With appropriate levels of authorization, users can activate an inactive customer or vendor at a branch if the Branch Activation Level field and One-Time Activation Level field on the Accessible Branches window for the customer or vendor are not blank. No - Users cannot activate inactive customer or vendors.
Outcome of setting this control record	If set to Yes and a user is assigned the CUST.BR.AUTH.OVRD or CUST.BR.AUTH.ONETIME (for customers) or the VEN.BR.AUTH.OVRD or VEN.BR.AUTH.ONETIME (for vendors) authorization keys, the user can activate a customer or vendor that is not authorized for a branch.
Default Value(s)	No
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No, regardless of the user's authorization settings.
Additional Information	For more information about defining accessible branches for customers and vendors, see the following topics: Activating a Branch for Customer Purchases Defining Customer Branch Override Capabilities Defining Vendor Branch Override Capabilities Assigning Branch Access to Vendors

Display Invoice Print Date In SOE Header

Indicate whether the system displays the date an invoice was printed as a message when users access the order's Header tab. More:

Options	Yes - Displays the first invoice print date, if it has been printed. No - Does not display the invoice print date.
Outcome of setting this control record	Displays the invoices original print date, for all or part of the order, in the sales order entry Header. The system does not display subsequent invoice reprint dates.
Default Value(s)	No
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.
Additional Information	None

Display Products Within A Customer's Product Zones

For companies that define product zones, use this record to restrict users to viewing only the products within the customer's zones. More:

Options	Yes - Only the products that are within the customer's product zones display. No - All products, including products outside the customer's defined product zones, display.
Outcome of setting this control record	During order entry, if a customer is assigned to a product zone and this record is set to Yes, the order writer sees only the products in the customer's assigned zone for placement on the order.
Default Value(s)	No
Examples	For example, if you have branches in Florida and Texas that stock the same products, you can restrict Florida customers to purchasing products only from price lines at your Florida branch. This saves money on shipping.
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.
Additional Information	For information about product zones, see Assigning Customers to Product Zones. Valid product zones are defined in the Valid Product Zones control maintenance record

Display Reminder Notes Until Next Product Is Entered

For each order entry type, indicate whether the system displays product reminder notes until the next product is entered. More:

Options	Yes - The product message displays until you enter a valid product on the next line. No - The product message displays only until you move the cursor to a new field.
Outcome of setting this control record	If set to Yes, the product message displays until a valid product is entered on a blank line in the order. The product reminder disappears when you select a line that contains a different product.
Default Value(s)	No
Examples	For example, you might enter additional part number information for products and store them in the product messages. If you use these to order additional products after the first product is entered on an order, set this control maintenance record to Yes so the information displays while entering the next product on the order.
Action if set to Null	Same as if set to No.
Additional Information	None
