Open Order Management (OOMGT) An Enhancement For i. Series 400 DMAS from Copyright I/O International, 2003, 2007 Skip Intro

Open Order Management 4 For distributors who experience a large number of future orders (weeks or months in advance of anticipated shipment) 4 Allows user to record future orders as DMAS open orders (therefore, does not allocate inventory at entry time) 4 However, methods are provided for viewing “pending demand” 4 QSEARCH includes a column for “Pending Demand” by warehouse 2

Open Order Management 4 New “Open Order Item Demand Inquiry” provides method of viewing pending demand – At item level – Displays up to 3 warehouses at a time – Pending demand summarized by time frame – Time frame may be monthly, weekly, or number of days keyed by the user 3

Open Order Management 4 You can now see by warehouse – What’s in stock – What’s allocated to sales orders – What’s on back order for customers – What’s pending in open orders (can break down by any time frame) – What’s on order from vendor – What’s on back order from vendor 4 Performance report available to help measure how well shipments have met the user’s requested ship dates 4

Open Order Management 4 Utilizes Requested Ship Date and Release Date to help determine when to release an open order 4 Each order must have a Requested Ship Date – If not keyed by user, will be calculated by the software 4 User defines – SOP (Standard Order Processing) days – Average days to process a sales order from pick list print to shipping – AOP (Additional Order Processing) days – Additional days required to process open orders starting at release time 5

Open Order Management 4 Based on SOP and AOP, software will determine – At order entry, if off-line orders should be open order or sales order – When open order should be released for picking and shipping if release date was left blank – When orders entered interactively, entry clerk controls whether order is open order or sales order – If calculated dates are inconsistent with order type being entered, entry clerk is warned 6

Open Order Management 4 SOP/AOP calculations – Requested ship date less SOP days less AOP days results in open order release date – If requested ship date less SOP days less AOP days results in a date that is equal to or older than current date, order should be entered as sales order – If requested ship date less SOP days less AOP days results in a date that is larger than current date, order should be entered as an open order 7

Open Order Management 4 A function is provided that automatically changes order steps for those open orders ready to be released. 4 Use DMAS Automated Release function to then release desired open orders to sales order processing 8

Open Order Management 4 This enhancement also provides an automated method for releasing DMAS open backorders 4 This enhancement also looks for sales orders for which nothing can be immediately shipped – Identifies “nothing shipped” orders – Provides a function to generate the backorder without generating a “zero invoice” OO Mgt Summary 9
