| This screen controls a very complex set of
operations but it is laid out to provide an intuitive route to manage
Supplier Orders. Supplier Orders are usually generated from the Customer
Order screen and from there they are sent to this screen to manage and
dispatch.
When orders are first generated they have a status of "Pending". This changes to "On Order" when the order is sent to the supplier. Whilst the item is "Pending" it is still possible to delete it. After this time it has become 'live' and must be adjusted in the 'Real World' as well as within the computer system. When part of an order has been delivered, it's status changes to Part Complete; when it is delivered the status becomes "Complete". |
