Deleting Distribution Orders
You can delete a distribution order by pressing the Delete key in the order header. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion. If you respond Yes, the system displays the following message: Delete attached intersite requests?
• Respond No to detach referenced intersite requests and leave them in the database. The system resets the status of detached requests from A (allocated) to E (exploded). These requests can then be associated with another DO.
• Respond Yes to delete the attached intersite requests as well as the distribution order. You may want to choose this option if the intersite requests associated with the DO were created dynamically in Distribution Order Maintenance.
Important: If you respond Yes, all intersite requests referenced on the deleted order are deleted, regardless of how they were created. This includes requests created by DRP, in Intersite Request Maintenance, in Intersite Demand Confirmation, and in Distribution Order Maintenance. In a multiple-domain environment, request detail is deleted from both the shipping and receiving site domains.
Note: When you use the Delete command in the intersite request detail of a DO, the intersite request is always detached and remains in the database. It is never physically removed.
Before deleting a DO, the system verifies that items on the referenced intersite requests are not picked or shipped. This validation is performed whether you detach or physically remove the intersite requests. If the validation fails, an error displays and you cannot continue.
If items are allocated to a deleted intersite request, the allocations are removed. MRP records, including gross requirements for the shipping site and scheduled receipts for the receiving site, are updated to reflect the change.
