File To do
Function controls Activate the ORDSRACT (Order source active) function. When activated, the Order source field will be visible on all applicable panels.
Default and replacements table This table is preloaded with IBS Distribution. The group associated with the Order source functionality is ORDSRACT (Order source). At preload, this group is activated with the following levels:

  • BPR = Business Partner Request
  • CAL = Call plan
  • DFT = Default order source
  • EDI = Order created from external systems/interface
  • IRO = Internal replenishment order
  • MDC = MDC order
  • NST = NetStore

The Character value must be entered on Key level. Do as follows:

  1. Per level, select the Keys option.
  2. On the Level keys panel, select the Change option.
  3. Enter the Character value. This is the default value that will be defaulted to the Order source field when creating sales orders from Activity Based Pricing and IBS Business Partner Requests. The Character value entered for the Default order source level will be defaulted to the sales order if Order source is found in Work with IBS user profiles.
Work with order sources Ensure that all order sources that will be used in the system exist in this file.
Work with IBS user profiles Optional. Per user, define the Default order source code. This code will be defaulted in add mode when entering sales orders. If nothing is defined for the user here, the field will be blank in the sales order entry related panels, and must be completed by the user.
