What Does This Procedure Do?
This procedure allows you to print reminders for those subcontract purchase order rows that have not returned from the supplier and that have not been arrival reported within the given delivery period.
It is possible to select by Reference before printing. You can also select to print delivery reminders for only order confirmed order rows.
The delivery reminder - subcontract form is used to summarize all the order rows per supplier that fulfill the conditions or prerequisites mentioned below.
In this form, you can print a column where the supplier can fill in a new delivery period for each order row. This is determined by the Print new delivery period setting in the Form Settings procedure in the Global Settings.
Conditions for Printing Delivery Reminders - Subcontract
In order to use this procedure you must activate the setting Report Shipped Quantity?, under the heading Orders that you will find under the Manufacturing tab in the Settings procedure.
To print a delivery reminder for a certain subcontract purchase order, an operation on an order row must have been reported as shipped and the delivery period on the order row must have expired or be overdue. This is when the printout date minus the grace period of the delivery reminder is later than or the same as the delivery period on the order row.
Managing Windows
The Search Form in this procedure consists of two portions. In the left portion of the window, you can select the printout by entering a supplier code interval and then click on Print under the window functions. If you leave these fields empty, the system will print all delivery reminders for the overdue order rows. In the right portion of the window, you can uncheck (deselect) individual suppliers.
The right portion of the window is accessed using the Preliminary selection button under Window functions. There you can uncheck individual suppliers. In this mode, you can also choose to Preview the printout. See a printout sample at the end of the chapter.
