In order to make it clear to the user whether an importer order row is correct and can be approved or not, MONITOR uses different color codes on the order rows. An order row with problems or errors cannot be approved as an actual order row.
Yellow Part Number
The field appears in yellow if the order row contains a problem or error. This is usually due to a part or customer that has not yet been defined in the system.
Dark Grey Part Number
The field is displayed in dark grey. This means the part exists in MONITOR, but has not been approved for import to this customer. This is determined with the setting Block EDI import if no customer/part link exists? under the Extra info button under the Information tab in the Update customer procedure. In order to be approved there must be a link to this customer, in Customer links under the Sales tab in the Update part procedure for the imported part number. Then you do not have to enter a reference number on that row, it is sufficient that you have the link.
Red Order Number
A locked "own" order number is shown with red digits in the left column of the table. You can reset this block by right-clicking, if the order is released by the person holding the order.
Yellow Order Number
The field is displayed in yellow and does not contain any order number either. This is a warning that a new order will be created for this customer/part combination (no existing order was found in the system).
Red New Period
The new period appears in red if the lead time for the part (according to the definition in the system) is not sufficient.
Pale Green New Schedule
This field is displayed in a pale green color if the customer in the delivery schedule has marked this order row as "rescheduled lag" or "new extra call".
Light Blue New Schedule and Deduction
The field is displayed in a light blue color. The quantity on this order row has been revised down by the system, depending on that the customer has ordered a quantity that has already been delivered.
Red Delivered Quantity
The delivered quantity appears in red digits if the comparison between the quantity on the received and shipped delivery notes does not match according to the delivery note information in the order header.
Blue-Green Text on Rows
Order rows with the manufacturing status (M) > 1 display all text/digits in a blue-green color. The different M-statuses available are the same as the Row status under Extra row info on a regular customer order in MONITOR.
Purple Accumulated difference
A negative value in purple is displayed in the field for order rows with a smaller ordered quantity compared to the previous corresponding order row.
