Enter Distribution Order

Explanation

Distribution orders are either entered manually or created automatically by planning tools. A distribution order identifies a need to move goods from one site (the supply site) to another site (the demand site). Planned distribution orders can be deleted manually or by using planning tools, when you need to re-plan the moving of goods.

The distribution order number is automatically assigned by the system when you save the header. The system uses the distribution order prefix and number specified on the Coordinator Groups tab to produce the order number.
