Much of the order handling is handled by the ASW ‘DIRECT’ jobs, which run in subsystem UP1480BS. ‘VA’ in the job name is the company that they are processing.

These jobs are started when the first user goes into ASW. In the past, we had an issue on Saturdays – because we were closed, the direct jobs were not started at all. Sales order received electronically were not dropping for picking, which meant stock was not being allocated. We fixed this by starting up the direct jobs in the programs that bring systems back up after the end of day processing.

Whenever a program touches either a sales order or a purchase order, the direct programs will look at it to decide if they should do any processing for it. The order type is checked to see if any direct action is required, for the status the order is in.

This is the setup of Sales Order Type ‘EO’ (Electronic Order). It means that it will automatically go from status 10 (entered) to 30 (pick list printed, or as we say ‘dropped to the warehouse for picking’), and from status 40 (pick confirmed) or 45 (ready to invoice) to 60 (invoiced).

Sometimes we see a sales order that should be processed by the direct jobs, in status 45. In order to get it to invoice, the direct jobs have to be nudged into looking at the line. Do this by going into it in ‘Work with Sales Orders’, and changing it. (This program has been modified so you cannot actually make any changes, but by going through the motions, you tell the direct jobs to look at it).

If the records are all old (as they are in this example) it means that ASW could not process the document.  In this example, all of these are COOP or VEDI bills that had problems.  These sales orders are generated by a custom program CXBILL03.
