Multi-Site Processing

A multi-site order, also referred to as a spread order, is a customer order for goods to be shipped to many ship-to locations, with items and quantities differing depending on the ship-to location.  In MAC-PAC, multi-site orders are typically processed through the EDI module.

There are three ways to create a multi-site order:

·     Multi-site orders can be entered online through EDI's Sales Order Data Entry conversation.

·     Multi-site orders can be entered via inbound EDI sales order transactions.

·     Multi-site orders can be entered in the system by breaking them down into multiple sales orders and entering them through the Sales Order Maintenance conversation.  When entering multi-site order, create a standing order and set the multi-site order flag of 'Y' (yes).

Once entered, multi-site sales orders will be processed the same as regular orders entered through EDI's Sales Order Data Entry conversation.  Furthermore, you can inquire on a multi-site sales order through the Sales Order Inquiry conversation.  In addition, a list of sales orders created from the spread order will be displayed when the spread purchase order is entered.  For more detailed information about processing multi-site orders, see the MAC-PAC's EDI Capabilities key concept in the Electronic Data Interchange User Manual.
