4.2.3.14 Scheduled Sales Delivery Transaction (SR4161)
This enhancement introduces a new transaction SIEX (Maintain Sales Delivery) which allows users
to add, change or delete individual scheduled sales order deliveries. This is a simplified version of
the functionality of SOEX (Maintain Sales Schedule). The original requirement for this transaction
was to provide a simpler component which could be used with the TROPOS SDK.
The transaction does not perform ‘replace’ updates which maintain the old promise dates. If this is
required SOEX has to be used. The transaction does not initiate ‘promising’. If the order is
promised, the changes will be reflected in changes to sales demand data. If the order line is not
promised, other transactions such as SOCF (Order Promise Confirm) must be used to ‘promise’ the
line.
4.2.3.15 Extend Non-Sequential Credit Note Numbering (SR4084)
The numbering system used for despatched-based credit notes and supplement invoices associated
with order-based invoice numbers has been enhanced to allow a greater number of credit notes and
supplementary invoices to be associated with each sales order.
Previous versions of TROPOS allowed a maximum of 26 credit notes and 26 supplementary
invoices for each sales order. The enhancement extends maximum number of credit notes and
supplementary invoices by automatically switching to the home sundry invoice number range as
long as the sundry invoice numbers are set for sequential numbers.
Primary invoices for despatches can either be sequential numbers or based on the order and
consignment number. This is determined by flags on the transaction SNUM (Sales Order Numbers),
one for Home orders and one for Export orders.
If sequential numbers are being used, credits and supplementary invoices raised against despatches
use the next available number, with a ‘C’ or ‘S’ prefix. If order-based primary invoices are being
used, the credit note and supplementary invoices numbers are based on the sales order number with
a prefix of ‘C’ or ‘S’ and a suffix which is a letter, starting with ‘A’. This gave a maximum of 26 of
each type irrespective of how many invoices had been generated for the order.
When this enhancement is installed, if the 26th document has been used, transactions which
generate these documents will not be rejected. TROPOS will switch to using the Home Sundry
Invoice numbers if these are flagged as sequential numbers. This is also controlled with the
transaction SNUM.
4.2.3.16 Extended Order-Based Invoice Numbers (SR3974)
The maximum number of order-based invoice numbers which can be generated from a single order
has been increased from 359 to 998.
Order-based primary invoice numbers are generated from the sales order number and consignment
suffix. A ten character invoice number is created as in the following example.
Consignment number is AA123456/001 where AA123456 is the order number and 001 is the
consignment suffix. The invoice number is AA12345601. Consignment 002 generates
AA12345602, etc. The consignment suffix is transformed into a 2 character invoice number suffix.
