ORDER ENTRY

Trace original transaction documents

Order Entry workflows provide great flexibility with multiple potential transaction entry and exit points. Now you can easily track which transactions started a workflow. A more traceable workflow ensures greater inventory reconciliation accuracy.

Details

Being able to trace original documents in your sales order workflows ensures that you can:

  • Identify the original transaction in the workflow (originating document).
  • Refer back to the previous document in the workflow (source document)
  • Generate more informative sales transaction reports
  • More easily identify and report on reconciliation issues and take corrective action.

How it works

To identify an originating document within a sales order workflow:

  1. Go to Order EntryAllTransactions and select a transaction type, such as Sales invoice.

  2. In the Order entry transactions window, locate a transaction then select View.

  3. In the Entries table select a line item row then select Show details:

    • If this is the original transaction in the workflow, the Originating document ID field is blank.

    • If this is the second transaction in the workflow, the Originating document ID displays the initial transaction ID (the same ID displays in the Source document ID field).

    • If this is a document in the workflow with more than 2 conversions, the Originating document ID displays the initial transaction ID (the Source document ID displays the last conversion document ID).
