Factory Order Receipt Entry

When a factory order with a linked quantity is received:

Sales orders are released from backorder if the factory order receipt date is greater than or equal to the sales order delivery date, and packing slips are generated.
If the receipt date is less than the sales order delivery date, the linking quantity are committed to the sales order, and subsequently processed using the Generate Packing Slips process.

If you try to receive a quantity that is less than the quantity linked to backorders, the SO-FO Link form displays when you save the transaction. You can update the quantity linked to the sales orders.

When a linked receipt transaction is saved, the SO FO Link Release Report form displays. You can print details of the automatic release process.

This is a date range report that prints out details of the received factory order, the customer of the backordered quantity, the packing slip number, run number, and order value.

Note: If packing slips are not in use, no packing slip is generated, and the description Released Backorders prints on this report. This indicates that backorders have been released for the sales order.
