Calling Queue Use Vendor Ship Notice To Determine Orders In Trouble

For each branch, indicate whether the Customer Calling Queue considers vendor shipment notifications as a valid part of the earliest available date calculation when determining whether to list an order as being in a trouble condition. ClosedMore:

Options

  • Yes - Checks vendor shipment notifications.

  • No - Does not check vendor shipment notifications.

Outcome of setting this control record

If set to Yes at the stock branch, the system performs this check in addition to the current logic that determines if an order is in trouble. If the earliest available ship date is the plenty date, the system checks for any vendor shipment notifications where the item in question might exist. If a vendor shipment notification exists with a ship date that is later than the plenty date, the system uses the vendor shipment notification ship date to determine if the order is in a trouble condition.

Default Value(s)

No

Action if set to Null

Same as if set to No.

Additional Information

When viewing Trouble orders In the Customer Calling Queue, using the View > Adjust Ship Date option, the ship date adjusts on the order based on the earliest date based on any vendor shipment notifications.
