247.2 Input and control of notification codes[//]

If you select this AFO and then choose the option Supplier notification code an input screen will be displayed, but if notification codes have already been defined an overview screen will be displayed which is described further on in this section.

Fields on this screen

Notification code - enter a code that does not already exist. This code must be alphanumeric and be no more than 10 characters. It must not be solely numeric.

Message - the message must be no more than 50 characters and must not consist of punctuation only.

Notify supplier: By activating this option the “Notify supplier” option will default to Yes when adding this notification code to an order. Per order you can determine whether or not you actually want this activated.

Supplier cancellation: By activating this option the “Supplier cancellation” option will default to Yes when adding this notification code to an order. Per order you can determine whether or not you actually want this activated.

In use: When a code is not in use it will not be offered in the list of valid codes when adding a notification code to an order.

When you choose Internal order notification codes, the screen looks slightly different:

Here you can also activate default values that will appear when adding the notification code to an order. And again you can override those details at the level of the individual order.

In either case, when you have entered these details an overview screen will be displayed:
