Shipment requests

Operation

The main file to be set up remains the SORDEC file (contract line). Indeed it is the file linked to the SOQ object.
In the import template for delivery requests, you need to set up two identifiers:

• one for the header file SORDERC,
• one for the detail file SORDERQ.

During an import, the existence of the main object (contract line) is recognized automatically by means of the main key representing the contract number, and the line number (SOHNUM + SOPLIN).

The identification of the existence of the detail lines is made, if they exist, in two ways as a function of the presence or not of the quote line number in the import template:

• Search with the import line number (SOQSEQ) if it is set up and assigned.
  If the line exists it is modified, otherwise it is created.
  
• Search with the requested delivery date if the field is set up and assigned.
  If the line exists it is modified, otherwise it is created.

If two lines have the same delivery date, it is necessary to set up the line number in order to differentiate them. If this is not done, it is always the first line corresponding to the search criteria that will be processed.

The import processes the deletion of a line. A request is deleted if it is imported with an ordered quantity equal to zero.

Import of daily, weekly and monthly requests

You need to set up the sequencing field (CAD) in order to properly integrate daily, weekly and monthly requests.
This is a special case: this field is neither entered nor displayed in standard mode. However, for imports, the field needs to be set up in order to differentiate the various types of requests.
If the field is no longer present in the template, or is equal to zero, the system considers this is a daily request.
