Features

In apparel and footwear industry, a sales order frequently changes at various processing stages. You can use the following different rejection modes to control the rejection of requirement quantities:

Rejection Mode	Use
Blank space	To reject all requirements/quantities
A	To reject the requirement quantities that have not been allocated The schedule line will split and become two schedule lines, one containing the allocated quantity and the other containing the remaining quantity that has not been allocated, as well as the rejection code.
R	To reject the requirement quantities that have not been referenced The schedule line will split and become two schedule lines, one containing the referenced quantity and the other containing the remaining quantity that has not been referenced, as well as the rejection code.

If the rejection code is specified at the item level, all the schedule lines for that item are rejected and the rejection code is copied to all the schedule lines for that item.

For more information, see Partial Quantity Reduction.

Activities

You must do the following:

       1.      Open the sales order in Change mode and choose AFS Data  ® AFS Item Overview. From the menu, choose Goto ® Overview ® Complete  Structure . 

       2.      Specify the rejection code (with appropriate rejection mode), in the Rejection Reason column of the schedule line requirements that you want to reject. Choose Enter. The system’s behavior depends on the rejection mode (blank space, A or R).

 

Example

A sales order has an AFS material and one schedule line with order quantity 10. The stock/requirement list for this order shows the following MRP status and corresponding quantities:

 

MRP Status	B	F	D
Order Quantity	4	2	4

Create a rejection code (for example, RR) and assign a rejection mode to it.  You can reject the requirements quantities in the above sales order with this rejection code (RR).

 

●      If the rejection mode is a blank space, then the entire schedule line gets rejected.

Rejection Mode is: Blank Space

	Order Quantity	Rejection Reason
Schedule Line 1	10	RR

 

●      If the rejection mode is  A, the schedule line splits into two: One with 6 requirement quantities and the other with 4 requirement quantities and rejection code (RR). This is because, 6 is the allocated quantity and 4 is the non-allocated quantity.

Rejection Mode is: A

	Order Quantity	Rejection Reason
Schedule Line 1	6
Schedule Line 2	4	RR

 

●      If the rejection mode is R, the schedule line splits into two: One with 4 requirement quantities and the other with 6 requirement quantities and rejection code (RR). This is because, 4 is the referenced quantity and 6 is the non-referenced quantity.

Rejection Mode is: R

	Order Quantity	Rejection Reason
Schedule Line 1	4
Schedule Line 2	6	RR
