Indicate whether the system validates the entry in the Ordered By field in the Header tab in sales order entry against the contacts associated with the customer. ClosedMore:

  • If the Only customer's authorized personnel may place orders field on the customer's Credit Control Parameters screen is selected and authorized personnel are entered on the Customer Authorization Maintenance window, users must select a name from the authorized personnel list.

  • If the Only customer's authorized personnel may place orders field on the customer's Credit Control Parameters screen is select, but no authorized personnel are entered on the Customer Authorization Maintenance window, users can enter any contact associated with the customer.

  • If the Only customer's authorized personnel may place orders field on the customer's Credit Control Parameters screen is not selected, users can enter a name in the Ordered By field, which starts the process of creating a new contact for that customer.

  • If the customer is flagged as a Branch Cash account, and the Only customer's authorized personnel may place orders field on the customer's Credit Control Parameters window is not selected, you can enter free-form text in the Ordered By field in the Header tab without having to create a new contact.

  • No - Does not validate the entry entered in Ordered By field unless  the Only customer's authorized personnel may place orders field in the Credit Control Parameters window is selected and the customer has authorized order personnel defined on the Customer Authorization Maintenance window. If that field is selected and authorized personnel defined, the order writer must select a name from the authorized personnel in the Ordered By field in the Header tab of an order.

Outcome of setting this control record

Determines if the system ensures that the contact entered in the Ordered By field in the Header tab of a sales order is a valid contact for the customer.

When a valid contact is entered, the system takes the first phone number that is assigned "Work" in the Codes field in Contact Maintenance and displays that number in the Phone Number field on the order's Header tab.

Default Value(s)

No

Action if set to Null

Same as if set to No.

Additional Information

To set the Only customer's authorized personnel may place orders field on the customer's Credit Control Parameters screen, the customer must have contacts attached to the customer record. When the field is set for the first time, all contacts are automatically added to the Authorized Personnel list. You can remove contacts from the Authorized User list so they are not available for selection in the Ordered By field when editing an order.
