Summary
Order Validations are run in Step 3 of Place Blankets. They check to make sure the order is sensible and doesn't have any problems
Column Description
Below is a list of the validations that run, and how they are intended to help:
- Item Costs - Makes sure items don't have $0 as their cost, which is likely an error.
- Mins/Mults - Makes sure you have not violated order line-level minimums and multiples
- Repeat Supplier Order - Checks to see if that supplier has already been ordered from that day, just in case somebody else has ordered from that supplier, to ensure duplicate orders aren't placed.
- Supplier Minimums - checks to ensure all supplier minimums have been met, for both order and category level.
- Supplier-Item Minimums - Checks to make sure all supplier-item level order mins have been met
- Zero Order Quantity - Makes sure you didn't add or leave any rows in your order that have zero orde quantity on them, since most ERP's choke on that.
- Blanket PO Ship Dates- Checks to see if any lines violate manufacturing lead time and are before the first possible ship date
- Duplicate Blanket PO Lines- Checks to see if any lines are duplicates
- Supplier Cost Changes- Checks to see if supplier costs change within 7 days of placing the blanket
