How To: Building an Order (02-08-01)
Overview
This selection prepares DD and SO transactions entered in Point of Sale (02-02) for use in Order Processing.
NOTE: If the Immediate Build preference in Trans Entry Pre-Prompt (02-18-01) is set to Y, this selection does not need to be run because the orders were automatically built at the end of POS entry.
It is important to know that changes made to an order are not reflected in the system until the order is built. For example, if you apply a Middle Layaway (ML) payment to an order, the system does not “see” that payment until you run Order Build. Again, this only applies if you have the Immediate Build preference set to N. If the order was built automatically through POS, changes are reflected immediately.
