Working with DXSteel — Order differences

🌐 NL · Last reviewed: 27 May 2026

Order Differences

In steel, planned and actual quantities often differ — for instance when a coil is delivered heavier or lighter than ordered. DXSteel handles these differences in a structured, automated way through Order Difference Processing.

Workflow

  1. Configure auto-apply — per sales or purchase line, set whether the difference may be processed automatically (Auto Apply flag).

  2. Start processing — choose Process Sales Order Difference or Process Purchase Order Difference. This is a batch job.

  3. Review the result — DXSteel logs success or the reason for failure per line. Failed lines remain open for manual action.

  4. Inventory / document actions — choose in setup which actions DXSteel may take: delete lines, delete warehouse actions, update blanket orders.

Important settings

Setting

Description

Update Blanket Orders on Order Diff

Whether blanket orders follow when a difference is processed.

Delete Whse Doc on Order Diff

Whether the related warehouse documents are deleted on full processing.

Delete Whse Act on Order Diff

Whether open warehouse actions (picks/put-aways) are deleted.

Key screens

  • Sales Order Lines and Purchase Order Lines — column Auto Apply

  • Process Sales/Purchase Order Difference (report)

  • Run Process Sales/Purchase Order Diff — manual run action

Check the Auto Apply flag per line before processing. Once processed, warehouse actions and any blanket-order links have been updated — rolling back must be done manually.
