Automatic Stock Orders

Order Processing

Based on daily usage figures supplied automatically by Autoline, the Volvo DSP system generates automatic stock order files (N40). An automatic stock order advises parts that Volvo has ordered for you. You cannot change an automatic order.

The Autoline system automatically uploads and converts the stock order file to the correct file format. In order to create a purchase order in PURCHASE CONTROL, you must view this order. You must do this before Autoline automatically sends the D40 stock movements file to the Volvo DSP system between 2.30 p.m. and 3.30 p.m.

If for any reason the conversion fails, the software removes any records processed so far on the stock order file but does not remove the source file. E-mails are automatically generated by Autoline and sent to the person(s) identified in the Auto-orders email address field of the advice note parameters, warning of the problem. Autoline allows you to upload files manually if necessary.

Warning: Manual upload of files must only be performed on advice from MS Support, and is normally carried out by the System Manager.

Note: DSP does not run on a Saturday or Sunday. Therefore, you will receive an automatic stock order every morning except Sunday or Monday. Autoline automatically sends you an e-mail if you do not receive an automatic stock order, advising that you can ignore the message on a Sunday or Monday. See Troubleshooting. If you receive the message on any other day, speak to your Systems Manager in the first instance and log a call with MS Support.
