Order Processing - SI

The Order Processing function of the Stores Inventory system provides the ability to extract products from inventory and, optionally, post the filled order to the General Ledger and the Accounts Receivable databases. The order process follows the general rules for Set processing in BusinessPlus.

General steps for entering orders in the Stores Inventory system:

1. Create the warehouse order. Use SIOEUB to manage unfilled orders. Once an order has been created, it remains available to update until the order is filled.
2. Run a Set proof of the order (SIOEBP) (optional).
3. Run the report of orders ready to pick (CDD report SI1001). Enter a status of NW (new) to pull up a list of all new orders. This report will be used by the warehouse staff to identify the start and ending Order ID numbers to enter when printing pick tickets.
4. Print the pick ticket (SIOEPK). Enter only valid order numbers (these may be obtained from the CDD report SI1001).
5. Physically extract the products from the warehouse.
6. Enter order exceptions (SIOEEX) (optional).
7. Fill the order. Use SIOESI to post to SI only. Use SIOEFL to post to SI and GL.
8. Print packing slips (SIOEPS).
