Recording and validation of orders

The order entry application is used to handle telephone orders directly from customers or to transfer orders in paper form to the system. The application guides the user through the order entry process and simultaneously validates the entered data based on the stored master data. In addition to check general data such as customer data, material data, substitution articles, batch specifications and order quantities, individual customer dependencies such as batch reservations, rationing, purchase authorizations and customer-related processing instructions are also checked. The interaction with the user can be configured depending on the order channel to minimize the interruption of order entry process. The sequence of mask control in combination with key shortcuts enables completely keyboard-based order entry and therefore also contributes to efficient processing.
