Order Differences — sales side
When the actual shipped quantity on a sales line deviates from ordered, DXSteel can automatically adjust the ordered quantity to match the shipped quantity — within a threshold from the Item Profile. This prevents lingering open remainders.
The auto-apply mechanism
-
The sales line carries an Auto Apply Order Difference Sales % field (from the Item Profile).
-
On insert, the Auto-Apply flag is set by SLSetOrderDiffAutoApplyMethDMX.
-
After shipping: the Process Sales Order Difference report compares ordered vs shipped.
-
Within threshold: quantity auto-decreases, order can close.
-
Outside threshold: line stays open for manual action.
-
The report logs success or reason per line.
Setup-driven behaviour
|
Setup enum |
Effect |
|---|---|
|
Del Whse Act on Order Diff |
Deletes outstanding warehouse activity on difference. |
|
Del Whse Doc on Order Diff |
Deletes warehouse document (only Open, or Released too). |
|
Upd Blanket Orders on Order Diff |
Updates blanket order after processing. |
Workflow — manual or batch
-
Manual per line: Process Order Difference action on the sales line.
-
Batch: the Process Sales Order Difference report runs via Job Queue, handling all released orders with Auto-Apply = On.
Best practices
Set Auto Apply % Sales deliberately per Item Profile. Higher percentage (e.g. 5%) for coil products where weight variance is normal; lower (1%) for tight-tolerance customers.
Once processed, warehouse actions and blanket-order links are updated — rollback is manual.
