This is a warehouse-only option designed for the importers' dealers to consolidate all dealer backorders into one WIP. It runs down any WIP lines on backorder, and creates a new WIP for lines on sales backorder at status P. The old WIPs and lines are set to status D (Deleted) and are consolidated out of the POS files after the expiry of the appropriate retention days specified within the SO system parameters (WIP retentions). Lines on the new WIP are set to status P so that a new picking note can be produced.
When a new WIP is created, the text DBO (Dealer Back Order) is automatically defaulted into the Order no field on the Order tab of the WIP. This allows WIPs to be located in Point-of-Sale via the WIP search facility.
To consolidate dealer backorders:
Warning: When you run this option, all back to back Purchase Control facilities are lost because the original WIPs are deleted.
