Sales Order Process

SOP Flow Within the Warehouse - Order Statuses

The Sales Order Process goes through a number of stages. 

Each stage is represented by a different status, and must be followed in order:

• 0 - Entered (Order header entered only – no detail lines). This does not affect stock on the system.
• 1 - Committed.  The product will be flagged as having a committed quantity, this may affect availability for future orders.
• 4 - Allocated.  This is where the system will specify a particular pallet in the warehouse determined on the order type (see Order Entry).
• 5 - Pick List.  The next status after allocation.  Shows that the order has had a pick list printed.
• 6 - Pick Confirmed.  After pick list, the pick confirmation process ‘moves’ the stock virtually from its allocated location to a predefined marshalling location. The user can change the location at this point.
• F/G - Awaiting Customer POD Confirmation/ Depot POD Confirmation. (set against Partners/ Customers.) The stock moves from the marshalling location to a POD location if setup in Default locations.
• 9 - Complete. At this point, the stock has been ‘removed’ from the system (if you have setup to downdate at despatch rather than pick confirmation) .

Other Statuses which are not as commonly used are:

• I – Awaiting Invoice
• 3 – Back Order
• H – Held
• S – Suspended
• C – Cancelled
• E – Enquiry
