Overview
Before completing and invoicing an order, you can print and send an order confirmation that acknowledges receipt of the order and confirms the contents.
You can print confirmations for all orders, for a range of order numbers, or for a single order.
For the selected orders, you can:
- Print only the order confirmations that have not been printed yet, or also print new copies of those that were printed previously.
- Indicate whether shipping labels are required for the order.
Formats for Printed Order Confirmations
Order Entry includes three formats that you may be able to use when printing order confirmations:
- OECONF01.RPT A complete order confirmation (including lines and borders) that you can print on plain paper using a laser or ink-jet printer.
- OECONF02.RPT An order confirmation for preprinted forms.
These report formats list all the items and miscellaneous charges on an order, plus any comments that were entered for the order or the items included in it.
Order Confirmation Printing Options
You can use the O/E Order Confirmations screen to print one or more confirmations.
When pricing by weight, and when the order unit of measure is not the pricing unit of measure, the printed unit price may not match the unit price on the transaction entry screens.
The information that appears in the Unit Price column on an order confirmation is calculated by dividing the extended price by the quantity ordered, whether pricing by quantity or by weight.
