SO-O-A  Print Open Sales Order Listing

Purpose of Program

Use this program to print a listing of open sales orders.  This report contains the following information, divided and sorted by customer code, item number, or sales order number:

Customer code
Item number
Sales order number
Sales order description
Order date

If sales order line item detail is selected, the following information is included:

Item number and description
Quantity ordered, backordered, and shipped
Cost per item, any discount, and extended price
Estimated ship date
Ready-to-ship flag (Y or N)

The report also optionally includes an estimated monthly shipment section which shows a projected monthly sales figure for each item, as well as company grand totals, based on the sales order estimated ship dates.

International Field Explanation:

You will be given access to the following field if you have multi-currency processing enabled in IM-A  International Configuration.

Currency [Base/Src]

If you enter a B the report will print in base currency, meaning that it will convert all orders in source currency to base currency using either the invoice date if invoices have been posted or current exchange rates if no invoices have yet been posted.

General Program Operation

In this program you can have the report sorted by customer code, item number, or by sales order number.  In addition, you can specify ranges to limit the report.

The report also allows you to specify a range of customer PO's, which is useful for customer service requests where all the customer knows is his PO number.

You can specify a from/thru range of job numbers, if you wish to track a series of sales orders to a common job or project number.

You can also limit the report by estimated ship date.  This would allow you to isolate specific periods to see what is planned for shipping.  You can run the report in summary or detail, and you can specify whether comments and back order amounts are to be included.

You are asked if you want to print the estimated monthly shipments.  If yes, you will get monthly projections printed under each customer or item number, as well as company grand totals.  If you sort the report by sales order, you will not get any monthly projections.

Finally you are given the option of printing grand totals only for the estimated monthly shipments. This will result in a much shorter report than one with projections under each item number or customer.
