Order Entry:

A single sales order in ****** has a header record and one or more detail records.
The header contains information that applies to the entire order, such as Order
Date, Payment Terms, and Currency Code. These fields and many others may be
overridden at the detail level. Sales Order detail records contain the Item Number
of the product being sold, Order Quantity, Unit Price, and Unit of Measure just to
name a few.

To enter a sales order, the only data which is absolutely required is the Ship to
Address Number, the Item Number, and the Order Quantity. All other data values will
default in from the Address Book, Customer Master, and tem Master or Branch/Plant
tables. Additional flexibility can be achieved by using Preference Processing to
control the data which defaults into the sales order.

Print Pick Slip:

A pick slip is a report that is used by the warehouse to gather the items that are
on a sales order and due to be shipped.

Pick slips are printed to initiate the "Pick-Pack-Ship" process so that customers'
orders are delivered on a timely basis. The Pick Slip Print batch program processes
selected sales order lines that are at the correct 'Next Status' as defined by the
Order Activity Rules. In addition to Next Status, you can control the generation of
Pick Slips based on item availability, customer priority or a variety of different
date criteria.

Ship Confirmation:

Ship Confirmation is an online application that is accessed after the pick slip has
been marked up by shipping personnel to indicate how many items were actually
picked and packed for shipment.

Normally, all the items on a sales order that print on a pick slip are shipped, but
there may be exceptions due to inaccurate inventory records. When this happens, the
Ship Confirmation program automatically updates lines that have been shipped,
partially shipped and backordered, or canceled as appropriate.

Note: Rating and routing of shipments requires the ****** Transportation Management
module, or Oracle's Transportation module.

Invoice Print:

Invoices are normally printed in batch mode every night. Order lines that are at
the correct 'Next Status' (i.e., lines that have been ship confirmed) are printed
using the company's customized invoice format.

Sales Update:

Sales Update is almost always run at night and is a resource consuming batch job.
It processes order lines that have been invoiced (again based on the correct 'Next
Status' code) and updates the General Ledger and the Accounts Receivable Sub-
Ledger. Based on configuration settings, Sales Update will also update various
historical usage tables and move completed lines to the Sales History tables.
